I pledged for the basic module, module B (mPCIe) and module D (SFP). The SoC actually has 2x Gigabit Ethernet NICs. I figure they will use the first NIC for the basic module Ethernet and the other NIC will be connected to the SGMII line that runs over the connector. So in my setup I will have the SFP slot connected to the second NIC. Their C and E modules provide further ports using a managed switch. Using that one as a dumb switch should be possible, but dynamically configuring port groups on the switch is something that we have no support for at the moment. You might be able to change u-boot to initialize the switch with a VLAN tagged mode, but I cannot give any promises. If you're interested you can probably tag with ccardenas@, who'd probably like to support the switch as well. USB works out of the box. The Ethernet controller should work as well, same as the Clearfog. SD card support is ongoing effort, but shouldn't be too much work since I got it going on the Armada 8040 as well. PCIe hopefully follows afterwards. Patrick
