QSFP28 100 Gbit Ethernet
For the 100 Gbit Ethernet the SerDes #1 interface (multiplexing 14) with CAUI-4 interface is used on the MBLX2160A.
Only optical
media are still suitable for transmission. Similar to the implementation for the XFI 10 Gbit Ethernet with SFP modules, there are
modules for 100 Gbit Ethernet, according to the QSFP28 standard.

I2C configuration via I2C_6:
◦
Retimer D25 address 0x42
◦
Retimer D24 address 0x40
The retimers must be configured at startup. (Is taken over by U-Boot)
