Starlink hacking and fixing.
Born and raised in Crimea, Ukraine. Currently in Kyiv.
This is how to get Ethernet out of a Starlink Mini (panda_prod2 and panda_prod3 revisions).
These terminals lack an internal Ethernet PHY and instead use a direct SGMII connection between the Starlink SoC and the router SoC.
I figured out the required MDIO parameters and SGMII wiring (there are a few tricks!) and got an external 1 Gbps PHY working.
Now I have a direct Ethernet connection to this Mini panda_prod2.
