So I just went through a painful process of re-installing SONiC numerous times on my DX010. I wanted to try the newest builds in the pipeline:
New builds work for QSFP28 transceivers but the breakout functionality is broken. The interfaces will come up when you first do the breakout, and everything looks good, but on the next reboot they die and never come back. I did a lot of troubleshooting but no dice.
So I thought OK I will download my previous version (202111) and everything will be fine. Unfortunately, it looks like backported changes broke all the builds for previous versions as well, so the working builds are no longer available for download.
Luckily I keep almost everything, and I have the Downloads folder from my old workstation on LTO tape, and I was able to restore the old BIN file I downloaded before.
There may be some way to still download the older versions, but here it is in case anyone is in the same situation. The password is: celestica

Has anybody else had this breakout problem with the newer builds and resolved it?
