I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but still fun to see that they’re apparently using an ESP32 as management processor (without antenna, probably just RMII directly to the switch ASIC)

Edit: there’s a RTL8201 10/100 PHY to the left of the switch asic, that connects the ESP to one of the switch ports.

huh i never noticed it. interesting to see, especially because everytime esp32 is brought up the opinion is that they're not fir for production scale units/quantities.

so it's the one managing the ubiquiti specific features, and controlling the switch chip?
