DPL and DPC are tied to the SERDES config:

if [ "x${SERDES:0:3}" == "x13_" ]; then
	DPC=dpc-dual-100g.dtb
	DPL=dpl-eth.dual-100g.19.dtb
fi
if [ "x${SERDES:0:2}" == "x8_" ]; then
	DPC=dpc-8_x_usxgmii.dtb
	DPL=dpl-eth.8x10g.19.dtb
fi
if [ "x${SERDES:0:2}" == "x4_" ]; then
	DPC=dpc-8_x_usxgmii.dtb
	DPL=dpl-eth.8x10g.19.dtb
fi
if [ "x${SERDES:0:3}" == "x20_" ]; then
	DPC=dpc-dual-40g.dtb
	DPL=dpl-eth.dual-40g.19.dtb
fi

Right now we're mostly working with 8_5_2, but I know Jon is doing some more work to get things sorted. IIRC he's waiting on some PRs to get merged upstream in the Tianocore EDK2 repos.

I think someone was working on porting the lx2160a_uefi repo but I haven't heard much about it in a while.

If you're a Discord user, Jon Nettleton - one of SolidRun's engineers - and a handful of others who are playing with Honeycombs in different capacities are also collaborating here: https://discord.gg/tgHuG4Cq
