The BCM55030 is a 10G-EPON ONU/ONT.
The BCM55030's UNI (User Network Interface) side should be capable of 4xSGMII (1 GbE) or 1xXAUI (10 GbE) or 1xXFI (10 GbE SFP) or 1xRGMII, but only one SGMII lane is actually routed.
UNI link won't go up when connected to a media converter or directly to a NIC.

## Serial

The serial port is easily accessible at TP5 and TP6. A prompt is available without authentication, it is structured as a tree of directories. To navigate type the subdirectory name. To go back type `/` and hit enter. To list available commands type `help`.

`mem/rf [start address] [lenght]` reads bytes from the flash memory, wraps every 512 kB.

## Firmware is interchangeable with

## List of software versions

## List of partitions

The flash memory is not actually partitioned, upon reset the CPU loads from address 0 (reset vector) and jumps to another address ([page 74](http://me.bios.io/images/d/dd/ARCompactISA_ProgrammersReference.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A177%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C72%2C157%2C0%5D)). Each section ends with its CRC.

| Section               | Start address    | End address      | Size           |
|-----------------------|------------------|------------------|----------------|
| Bootloader            | 0                | 42896/0xA790     | 42896/0xA790   |
| App 0                 | ?                | ?                | ?              |
| App 1                 | 1179687/0x120027 | 1498731/0x16DE6B | 319044/0x4DE44 |
| App 2                 | 1703975/0x1A0027 | 2023215/0x1EDF2F | 319240/0x4DF08 |
| Diag (copy of App 1?) | 2555943/0x270027 | 2874987/0x2BDE6B | 319044/0x4DE44 |

(End address is non-inclusive)
App 1 and App 2 sections are located at a distance of 512 kB (0x80000) from each other. This probably means that the CPU is capable of addressing only 512 kB of flash. It can be verified also by running the `mem/rf` command, which wraps every 512 kB.
