The original web interface reports this board as hardware version V3.2 (original firmware V100.9.25, January 2026).
PCB
Compared to V3.1
The component placement matches 2M-PCB23-V3.1: same
positions for the flash (U8), the T7/T8/T9/T10 headers, the SFP cage and its
LED, and the unpopulated U7/U9 footprints. Build with
MACHINE=KP_9000_9XHML_X_V3_2, which uses the V3.1 machine definition and
only differs in the reported name.
Tested
Installed from the original firmware through its web interface with
installer/output/rtlplayground_oem_upgrade.bin, then:
- RJ45 ports link at 2.5G; LEDs: orange at 2.5G, green below
- SFP port: module detected with vendor/model/serial and DOM readings (temperature, Vcc, TX bias, TX/RX power), link up at 10G
- factory MAC read from flash (0x1FC000)
- reset button (GPIO48): held for more than 10 s it restores the default config
Flash access
Reading the flash in-circuit with a SOIC-8 clip did not work: the chip ID
comes back as EF FF FF (only the manufacturer byte is right) and reads
return 0xff, the same as on a V3.1 board. The switch chip is powered through
the clip and keeps driving the SPI lines. Make sure a way back is acceptable
before installing, or hold the switch chip in reset while reading.
