Marvell ARMADA 8040 Networking
Overview
The A8040 offers different interfaces: One 1Gbit Ethernet interface, one 2.5 Gbit SFP Slot, and two 3310 Phys, which offers either usings a 10Gbit Ethernet via copper or SFP.
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.
Download this archive: mcbin-phy-firmware-flash.tar.gz.
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.
The two other files are the PHY firmware files. Copy these files to a USB storage device.
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 phy_fw_down 0x06000000 164868 0x05000000 9948 8 phy_fw_down 0x06000000 164868 0x05000000 9948 0
