Similar to the Jasper Lake Motherboard, these Alder Lake N boards also use the JMB585 for additional SATA connectivity. The Topton NAS MB thread shows that you can enable Staggered Spin Up in the UEFI for each individual disk. Does this board also integrate the settings (Staggered Spin Up among...

Interesting that these boards support staggered spin up. This could mean that their JMB585 firmware/optionROM implements the parts needed to properly integrate the configuration options in a way that's compatible with UEFI HII. Manufacturers rarely bother to do this. Could anyone here with a MB...

Making the x520 Work with 1G DAC There a two methods to do this: 1. Make the default operation mode 1G instead of 10G by modifying the eeprom 2. Patch the driver to bolt on multispeed DAC support I'll explain both. Method 1: EEPROM Modification I use the first method, since I don't care...

I updated the last post with the missing measurements. I couldn't get this done earlier because my DAC cable broke somehow during my testing. I don't know if it was a power issue or something like that but somehow the first two bytes of one of the DAC cable connector's eeprom were erased, which...

I'm back! Ok, so disabling ports of the i350-F4 via EEPROM does not make any difference whatsoever reagarding power consumption. However, I got some nice deals on a bunch of other cards, which means the quest for the lowest power consumption DIY router continues. Here are my power measurements...

My next goal is to try and find out, how to disable two of the four ports to maybe safe some power. Stay tuned....

Here are the ethtool -m dumps of the SFP modules: Dumping the Cisco MGBSX EEPROM didn't work for some reason. Intel / Finisar FTLX8571D3BCV-IT 10Gbase-SR/1000base-SX : Identifier : 0x03 (SFP) Extended identifier : 0x04...

Ok so the tl;dr is: The card is perfectly fine except for it not recognizing the flash chip, which I was able to fix. Most of the issues stem from the SFP modules I was using. The card works with: 1G SFP-DAC 10G SFP+-DAC on 1G speed 1000base-T RJ-45 SerDes SFP 10/100/1000base-T RJ-45 SGMII SFP...

Hey @azhiltsov, thank you very much for the eeprom dump. This will definitely help. It's been a few months and I made some progress. I'm not finished but the information I gathered so far might still be valueable to others. I'll soon write a post with all the things I discovered. @joeribl I'll...

Ah, when I was searching for .eep files, I was wondering why the files are not included in any newer versions of this driver package. Good to know that they were included in an older version. I'll check those files. Let's see if I can use them.... EDIT: Unfortunately, all of them are for the...

Hey everyone, I also posted this on reddit and got a promising response but since this might also be interesting for this community and to increase my chances of succeeding, I decided to try my luck and also post this here. The backstory goes like this: On the quest to build a low power pfsense...
