SFP connection issue on BPI-R3

Banana Pi Router design BPI-R3/R3 Mini(MT7986)
1

Now we have a OpenWrt snapshots for R3 which

1G and 2.5G modes supported

I 'm trying to connect a GPON ONU stick which only works at 1000M
I use the following ethtool command to set speed mode on SFP1:

ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off

But I cant see any changes after this command. Here is SFP port info

Settings for eth1:
        Supported ports: [ MII ]
        Supported link modes:   2500baseX/Full 
        Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Supported FEC modes: Not reported
        Advertised link modes:  Not reported
        Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
        Advertised auto-negotiation: No
        Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
        Speed: Unknown!
        Duplex: Unknown! (255)
        Port: MII
        PHYAD: 0
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: off
        Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)
                               drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err
        Link detected: no

At the moment I’m guessing that the port speed needs to be adjusted to properly connect to GPON stick, can anyone who is also using such device tell me how I need to change this configuration? Or is there something else I’m missing?

The supported speed of a SFP module is auto-detected by parsing the I2C EEPROM exposed by the module. Ie. you should see that the port switches to 1000Base-X when inserting the module. I’ve tried this with multiple 1000Base-T (RJ-45) SFP modules, with good reaults.

Please share complete bootlog, we should see what’s going on.

For many GPON modules I’ve seen this is not enough, as they are only lowering the LOS signal if there is an actual PON link. Hence you would need to “force the link up” which is generally not supported yet but Linux’ SFP code.

[   80.888309] sfp sfp1: failed to read EEPROM: -6

It seems that sfp1 is not reading eeprom correctly.

4

Looks like the module never responds to being probed. That’s worse than what I’ve seen till now. Does the module work with other Linux-based hosts?

Please share output of

ethtool -m eth1
cat /sys/kernel/debug/sfp1/state
5

After waiting for respond

[ 80.888309] sfp sfp1: failed to read EEPROM: -6

I got these reply

Not being correctly identified, although it works fine on my other enterprise router photo_2022-10-30_00-33-34 photo_2022-10-27_14-46-12

6

Did you have to force the link-speed also on that router?

7

No, link mode automatically detect to 1000 on that h3c device. It’s user manual shows that’s a 1GbE sfp port

8

… and you didn’t set that port to any specific link speed or “DAC mode” or anything like that, right?

9

I’m pretty sure I didn’t set that . Strange that I have seen in some Chinese communities using the same stick successfully on their openwrt router with sfp interface

10

Do you know how much current it draws? Linux limits sfp to 1w,bpi-r3 can more. Maybe you habe to tell linux give more power to it (do not know how,but see this message on bootup)

11

The 1.0W limit can only be enforced by Linux after parsing the module’s I2C EEPROM. And that already fails. So that won’t matter here, because we are not even getting that far. It’d be very interesting to see how this module behaves on other Linux hosts. If reading I2C EEPROM works with them, we have to investigate why it doesn’t on the R3. Could be I2C bus clock speed being either too high or too low, for example…

12

What happens next is that I use ponstick from ODI and Huawei on the same openwrt snapshot, works fine.
A very early conjecture is that openwrt does not adapt to eeprom decryption of natywish’s ponstick yet. For general users and beginners, at least for this board, I do not recommend buying this brand.

13

Could you try using the natywish stick on another linux host? And if it works post i2c-setting from sfp-cage from that board like daniel suggested?

14

Did you test that both can be used successfully? Where can I buy them?

15

Yes, if you don’t sure what variation of PON your ISP offered, you can find it on your modem’s label, or just buy a dual mode stick like ODI. I bought them on a domestic e-commerce site.

16

Sorry I don’t have any other linux platform with SFP port or adapters at the moment. A PCI-E card is already on shipping.
