WR Switch Versions
Version Compatibility for the WR Switch
It can be difficult to understand how versioning works as the WR switch
is separated in 3 different parts: hw, hdl, sw.
Below you can see the table that summaries wich version can be used with
which software.
Note: the correct gateware version is already included in the software
version
Hardware version | Software version | Gateware (HDL) version |
---|---|---|
v3.4-H (LX240T FPGA) | v6.0.x*, v5.0.1, v5.0, v4.2, v4.1 | wrs-gw-v5.0-20161214.tar.gz, wrs-gw-v4.2-20150826.tar.gz |
v3.3-H (LX240T FPGA) | v6.0.x*, v5.0.1, v5.0, v4.2, v4.1, v4.0, v3.3, v3.3.1 | wrs-gw-v5.0-20161214.tar.gz, wrs-gw-v4.2-20150826.tar.gz |
v3.3-L (LX130T FPGA) | v3.3*, v3.3.1 | wrs3.3-gw.tar.gz (wr-switch-hdl:commit:240657df) |
v3.2 | v3.3.1* (v3.3 has an issue with FAN) | wrs3.3-gw.tar.gz (wr-switch-hdl:commit:240657df) |
v3.2 | v3.1* | wrs3-gw.tar.gz |
v3.2 | v3.0 (bug with ECC in JFFS2 for NAND) | wrs3-gw.tar.gz |

Compatibility between SCB, miniBP & Box.
When we are talking about the HW of the WR switch we are talking about the full equipment that includes:
- SCB board (The main board with the ARM and FPGA)
- miniBP 18p (The backplane board with 18 SFP)
- Box (The Box for 18p version)
Below you will find a list of which element is compatible between them self in case you want to upgrade the SCB but keep the other parts of your equipment. This table should be only used on an indicative basis. Be aware that Seven Solutions will reject the warranty if the box has been opened.
SCB HW ver | miniBP HW ver | Box HW ver |
