sfp-plus-i2c
Modern SFPs provide a standardized diagnostic monitoring (SFF-8472) and/or laser tunability (SFF-8690) interface for optical transceivers.
The aim of this project is:
- to create SFP I2C software libraries to access SFF-8472 and SFF-8690 in a standard way. See sub project LIBSFP
- create a PC - GUI tool to make the SFPs monitoring information easily accessible and enable easy access to user writeable information. See SaFariPark.
- create a hardware test-bed where four SFP+s can be exercised in parallel. I.e. a 10 Gbps interface to each Tx/Rx pair (4x4 SMA) and access to the four I2C interfaces via an I2C multiplexer, an FTDI chip connected to USB
An effort is done to standardize the User-EEPROM space for SFP modules as defined in SFF-8472.

SaFariPark now open for public
SaFariPark is not a site to book holidays on the African plains - though with additional personal funding I am willing to add that feature. It is a software tool to read and write the digital interface of SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules.
