Maybe this will help you:
No, i have no pon sfp or similar…only the 3 sfp i added to my compatible list in wiki
This will most likely help, but I don’t know how to upload the firmware. Somehow through the i2c utility.
Good day. I am also struggling with launching dfp-34x-2c2, I changed the eeprom values as indicated on github, but now when calling the ethtool command, eth2 shows speeds from 1000 to 10000 and the optics connection does not work and it is impossible to connect to the sfp itself via the web interface. Did you manage to do something, if so, describe how. Thank you.
Hi, what patches have you tried? My module will be back in a few days.
Hi, i not tried patches, on another topic on this forum i understand that some sfp patches a included on latest snapshot fit bpi-r4.
Do you have something connected to the M.2 slot at the same time you connect the SFP module?
It appears that the BPI-R4 v1.1 has a design flaw and connecting something into the M.2 slot causes the SFP modules to not be detected or not work.

I can try it myself in a week.
Not use m.2. BE14 + SFP 10G RJ-45 (good) + SFP DFP-34X-2C3 (problem)
The problem here is that some nvme bring down the i2c where sfps are connected over multiplexer. They cannot be read/detected in this case…in the moment you see the vendor-string for sfp it is not this issue. The most issues are caused by inband management is not working for 2.5g sfp and needs special handling via quirks and/or disabling autoneg.
Yes, i have Kingston nvme onboard, tomorrow I’ll remove the nvme disk and check your option.
Today I did a small test. By default, my dfp-34x-2c2 works in lan_sds_mode=2 1GB PHY SGMII PHY mode, I decided to switch it to lan_sds_mode=6 2.5 2500BaseX FIBER mode, as a result, I lost access to it, since I configured it via mikrotik crs112 which has 1gb sfp ports, as a result, I disassembled the dfp-34x-2c2 and connected via uart and switched it to lan_sds_mode=4 2.5Gb PHY and again there is no connection with my provider via fiber optics. Previously, I edited eeprom, also without result. Now I’m at a loss. Maybe someone will tell me what to apply, maybe some patch?
Do you have to use a gpon?
Can’t just use a fibre adapter sfp module and have the R3/R4 do whatever is done in the gpon firmware? The bpi board is much more capable then the chip on the gpon…
But then you need to know what is all done inside the gpon… But in theory this should be possible, right?
Yes, I use a gpon connection, I previously had a bpi-r3 and there were no problems, now I also have a mikrotik crs-112 which also works fine with a dfp-34x-2c2. I found a tip to check if there are r228, r230 resistors, I’ll check tomorrow and if they are there, I’ll remove them, I also use the nvme slot where I have a Kingston ssd. Maybe this will really solve the problem, since they write that there is a problem with the i2c bus because of the resistors. What do you mean about bpi being able to do more than gpon stick, can bpi emulate the same work as dfp-34x-2c2?
I am no gpon expert, so I do not know what you need to have it do.
But if a cpu in a sfp module, running an ancient uboot probably, can do it, then a R3/R4 running Linux can also do it…
You need to somehow connect fiber to R4 and fake ISP’s ONT S/N , DFP-34x allows you to do this.
It seems that you can reset the stick easier without UART.
What I meant was running omci/onu software on the R3/R4, perhapse a combo like:
https://github.com/opencord/voltha-go
https://github.com/opencord/voltha-openonu-adapter-go
Or is voltha-go already enough…
But I guess that is quite a large project…
Hi, it’s excellent idea, i read this.
Firmware M110_sfp_ODI_210702 does not connect to Banana R4 in openwrt-snapshot. I launched openwrt 21.02, configured GPON in M110_sfp_ODI_210702, then switched to the second firmware (nv setenv sw_commit 1 && nv setenv sw_active 1 && reboot), updated to M114_sfp_ODI_hybrid_221209, GPON settings were picked up automatically from the first firmware. M114_sfp_ODI_hybrid_221209 works with autoneg off, configured bridge-internet at M114 and everything works. Other firmwares except M110_sfp_ODI_210702 do not work independently with my provider.
