How to Activate 10G Interface from DSBOARD-AGXMAX?

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?

1- Activating the 10G interface

ENVIRONMENT

Compatible Hardware: DSBOARD-AGXMAX

In this blog post, we will activate the 10G XFI interface from DSBOARD-AGXMAX.

Attention: This guide is compatible from rev-1.22 or newer DSBOARD-AGXMAX carrier boards.

Activating the 10G interface

Since rev-1.22, the 10G XFI interface will work after changing a GPIO's pin state (in each reboot).

For JetPack-5, you can run the following commands to enable it:


sudo su
echo 477 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo low > /sys/class/gpio/PY.07/direction

For JetPack-6, install gpiod package first:


sudo apt install -y gpiod

Then, you can run the following commands to enable it:


sudo su
gpioset --mode=signal `gpiofind "PY.07"`=0 &

After a few seconds later, the interface will work.
