In regards to the Quanta T3048-LY2 (NOT LY2R) i am curious if anyone here knows of a good solution? I saw on page 35 in the presentation below that the LY2 has the same chip as Arista 7050-s-64, Alcatel Lucent 6900, juniper qfx3500 , Dell force 10 S4810 and others. http://netseminar.stanford.edu/seminars/05_26_15.pdf
I can volunteer my own LY2 for testing and jtagging etc. if we could try to get a proper image on these boxes. Mine has an expired Cumulus image right now.

your quanta's CPU that actually runs the OS is a PowerPC Freescale P2020, so you'll need an image built for that specifically to have any chance of working - only contender I know is the dell S4810 (P2020, Trident+ ASIC). I know they both use u-boot, so there's a chance you could experiment having your quanta boot the dell OS image without the risky bit of trying to replace the bootloader (this is how you brick things). There's other stuff that needs to match like the CPLD architecture/layout etc so who knows. Here is some S4810 info including environment variables that it uses to boot: CPU0: P2020E, Version: 2.0, (0x80ea0020)Core: E500, Version: 5.0, (0x8021105 - Pastebin.com
I'm trying to revert back to fastpath from brocade and everything goes just fine, up until it tries to boot into fastpath. Following the instructions to a tee, and all outputs are identical, but I get the attached error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

looks like it's not finding the fastpath image1 that should be there, and then goes to try the backup image2, which of course has been half-overwritten by the previous brocade software.
Which exact step in the guide are you at when this happens? are you following a saved or cached version of the guide? Previously one of the steps was wrong which would cause this, but I fixed it a long time ago: MASSIVE BUG FIX: boot from RAM, not flash · Fohdeesha/quanta-brocade@e140698
I can follow this straight through and verify all outputs as described. To be honest, this switch has been sitting around for a while, and didn't have an image when I got it. I was able to follow the upgrade to brocade (here) just fine, but can't get it to revert back to the quanta image. Any suggestions?
Here's the code:
Code:
eljtest>dd fff80000
Invalid input -> dd fff80000

yeah it's bricked unless you can find some way to get the LB9 bootloader into RAM somehow to copy back to flash, if the current uboot will even let you write to flash. Did you not see the "Only for LB6M" warnings everywhere?
Hey, found another switch running very similar hardware. I picked up a couple NetApp CN1610's, and they appear to have very similar hardware. Unfortunately I have bricked this thing messing with the firmware, not sure if anyone has had any luck with this guy?
it *might* work partly, I know that switch at least has different PHY for the management and copper ports. If you ship me the switch I can recover it via JTAG, if you have the original firmware to flash back to it. I can also flash brocade to it, but again who knows how well it will work
Unfortunately I don't (I have multiple of these, so I might be able to extract from one and flash to another, assuming there isn't some sort of protection). I do have a jtag programmer (j-link) that should work, I just need to get the toolchain set up. Honestly, I got these switches for like $50, so I'm not dead set on fixing these.
That said, I ended up grabbing an Intel+Trident2 switch that I am messing with now (Celestica D2060). Unfortunately there is not a lot of info out there, as this seems to be a pretty niche product. I did reach out to nVidia to see if they offer some sort of discount or something for labbers.

sadly being powerPC, you need a PPC specific JTAG unit, like a BDI2000 - the j-link won't do it
Hello,
About 2 years ago the company I work for replaced a Quanta LB6M in their rack that had "died" according to the IT guy. I'm pretty sure that the IT had installed the brocade firmware on this switch, so I figured maybe he made an error at some point that he couldn't fix. I took the switch home and let it collect dust until recently. This evening I attempted to boot the switch several times while monitoring the console using Putty. Every time I power cycle the switch it stops at exactly the same point. I suspect that the bootloader might be corrupt but, I would love for someone to convince me otherwise!
If the bootloader is corrupt, is the BDI2000, JTAG unit the only one that will work? Any chance a more cost effective option is available? All feedback is welcome!

is that exactly where it freezes? It doesn't even drop into a uboot command line? If it doesn't even give you a uboot commandline, there's nothing you can do other than try and JTAG a fresh copy of the bootloader onto the flash. You'd need a BDI2000, which are not cheap these days. Also they did not flash the brocade firmware, that's the stock quanta bootloader
Thank you for the quick reply. I'm 90% sure he put Brocade on this switch at some point. One day I was helping the IT guy troubleshoot the the network problems we were having and I noticed that only a few lights on the switch were on, none of the SFP ports were lighting up. When I mentioned it to him he said something to the effect of "That's normal, I put an upgraded firmware on there which increases performance but, kills the lights". If that's the original bootloader we're seeing now, I'm guessing it was a failed attempt to revert back to "fartpath". If that's the case, I believe the hardware itself may still be good.
I'm willing to take a shot at recovering the switch using a BDI2000. I found a few on eBay without any wires or connectors but, I'm sure I can make them if I can find diagrams. I could probably sell the BDI2000 once I complete the repair. I know all this is kind of a mission but, I'm very curious to see if I can recover it and, even more curious to know why it failed. Any advice before I proceed?
If you can find a not outrageously priced bdi2000, it's relatively simple: JTAG LB6M - Fohdeesha Docs
the bdi2k power supply is 5 volts to two 0.1" pins, and the cable you need for the bdi <> board is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FB20ISK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
keep in mind these switches are OLD (don't even support ipv6 routing), so if you're about to spend $300 on a BDI just to recover one, I would spend a little more on a much newer replacement switch entirely. or I could sell you my LB6M for like $250 (seems like they go for 350 - 400 on ebay now thanks to covid parts shortages)
worth noting it's also possibly bad/failed RAM, which does happen, and that's where the bootloader is freezing. these things are so old they use 512MB SODIMM DDR 333 modules, you can get two to try for $15 1GB 2X 512MB For Samsung PC2700S-25331 DDR 333MHz CL2.5 Sodimm Memory RAM | eBay
I'm watching one on eBay, currently at $140.00. I appreciate the URLs!
I know this switch is pretty old. The goal is to repair/recover it for the minimum investment and incorporate it into my lab if possible. Just out of curiosity, if I was to look into a newer replacement as suggested, what make / model would you suggest?
I thought the same thing myself. We have a backup Quanta LB6M in the rack at work, not currently in use. Maybe I can swap the RAM module to see if the RAM is the issue. I'm not against buying the RAM modules but, by the time they arrive the eBay auction would have ended. If I confirm the RAM is the issue (which would be awesome) I can buy them. Anyway, I'll see if I can test the RAM tonight when I get home.
Thanks again for all the insight!
for a newer replacement it depends, how many SFP+ 10gbps ports do you actually need? if 8x or 16x will do, you could grab an ICX6610 (and get a bonus of copper and 40gbe)
swapping ram sticks should work to test
