Fibergaga SFP-10G-T-30M (Aquantia AQR)

The documented oracle. RollBall module, PHY ID 0x31c31c13, proven over the i40e oracle path (../../nics/x710/). Its PHY family register reference is vendored in this directory (aquantia-aqr107-aqr109-datasheet.pdf — the AQR107-AQR109 register reference).

Documented registers

Registers What
3.E820/3.E821 PCS Receive Vendor Uncorrected Frame Counter (post-FEC)
3.E8403.E84E Corrected Frame N Iteration Counters, N = 1…10 LDPC iterations — the pre-FEC leading indicator (../../open-questions.md §5)
3.E816 RS Corrected Error Frame Counter (system-side, secondary)
1E.C884 bits 7:0 Estimated cable length in meters, ±1 m, RO, from the cable diagnostic engine
1E.C800 Per-pair TDR fault verdicts (open/short/mismatch/cross-pair)
1E.C801C807 Distances of the four worst reflections per pair, ±1 m
1E.C880C883 Reflection impedance/magnitude
PMA 1.1331.140, PCS 3.32/3.33 Standard set (../README.md), proven live

Open bench questions

  • Whether 1E.C884 is continuously valid on a linked cable or only after an explicit diag run.
  • The pre-FEC correlation experiment (../../open-questions.md §5) — this module is its instrument.
