**Each 3310 Phy need its own heatsink!**

#### Network

* 10/100/1000 Mbit: RJ45 Ethernet: CP1 SRD0 | 1512 PHY
* 2.5Gbit SFP+: SGMII SFP: CP1 SRD5
* 10G Ethernet: CP1 SRD4 | 3310 PHY (supporting either copper or SFP+)
* 10G Ethernet: CP0 SRD4 | 3310 PHY (supporting either copper or SFP+)

## Flash MACCHIATObin DoubleShot 10G Ethernet PHYs

Follow these instructions to flash the firmware on both 10G PHYs of the MACCHIATObin DoubleShot. This is a one time operation.

1. Download this archive: [mcbin-phy-firmware-flash.tar.gz](https://developer.solid-run.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/mcbin-phy-firmware-flash.tar.gz).
2. The file sdcard-8040-dec-11-only-for-phy-firmware.img is an SD card image with a special version of U-Boot that can program the 10G PHY.
3. The two other files are the PHY firmware files. Copy these files to a USB storage device.
4. At U-Boot prompt run the following commands:

```
fatload usb 0:1 0x06000000 x3310fw_0_2_1_0_8125.hdr
fatload usb 0:1 0x05000000 x3240flashdlslave_0_4_1_0_7847.bin
