It seems very likely that other versions are not compatible, so make it
clear by including it in the machine type and name. Also update the
documentation.
This board appears for example in the Davuaz Da-K6501W switch, and is
designed similarly to Hi-K0402WS.
However, it only has one SFP port and another 2.5G copper port using
RTL8221B 2.5G PHY instead. Also, some components on the board, like
additional LEDs, mode switch, and second flash chip are not populated.
Like earlier revisions of the K0402W(S) board, there is no UART, so
debugging is limited.
As this is an unmanaged switch, installation needs a flash programmer.
Looks like the SFP numbers are reversed, since GPIOs were mapped
to SFP numbers, the need to be reversed too. This fixes swapped
display of SFP stats on the webpage.
Added support for all leds on the device.
Stock port sets are slightly differently configured, where additional
LED0 on SET_0 and LED1&LED2 where configured for link/collisions/duplex.
This has not been reproduced as those lines are probably not connected
anywhere.
The SWTG018AS-A V2.0 is an 8x2.5GBit/s port + 1 SFP+ port unmanged device
It is sold in an unbranded casing e.g. by Ampcom.
Hardware:
SoC: RTL8373N
Additional PHY: RTL8224
Flash: Puya P25D40SH (4MBit, slimmer, not standard SOP-8 package!)
LEDs: 1 Green + 1 Orange per Ethernet port (green designates 2.5GBit)
1 Green LED for the SFP+ port
The photos already show a modified PCB: Unpopulated resistors R52 and R53
have been bridged in order to enable the serial console. The smaller flash
memory chip at U2 has been replaced with a Windbond 128MBit standard-sized
SOIC-8 chip in order to easily use SOIC clamps to flash the device. Also
the serial header has been populated.
The current code for entering commands via the serial CLI is completely
refactored and moved out of rtlplayground.c into a separate file cmd_edit.c
putting code into BANK2.
The serial ring buffer sbuf[] is now exclusively used for receiving
keys, including escape sequences (DEL will generate a 4-byte escape
sequence). The command is now held in cmd_buffer. This reduces
XMEM use, because the serial buffer can be much smaller.
Supported is only editing the current command line via backspace, del,
cursor left and right.
Because the code cannot distinguish escape sequences which are not yet
complete (because the serial isr has not yet put all characters into
the serial buffer) from the dozens of unsupported ones (F-keys/home,
Page up/down, cursor up/down...) they are ignored and remain in the
serial buffer until the ring-pointer overwrites them. This is standard
behaviour for consoles, which will print out garbage for unsupported
characters. In this implementation, the command line buffer and the
visible command line in the terminal are always synced, so garbage
can be removed again by ediing the line.
The code makes several redundant checks in order to prevent race-conditions
between the serial ISR and the comand-editing code.
The left and right SFP ports were swapped in the machine structure. They
are now correctly identified a comment is added. The custo LED-mux
is removed again, as this was accidentally added for demonstration
purposes. It is not necessary, as the device uses the default.
RTL has up to 3 SCL pins and up to 4 SDA pins. Lets allow configuring
I2C with individual BUS numbers instead of 0/1 I2C.
This enables support for devices where SCL line is not shared between
SFP modules. MUX registry is now initialized depending on needed
pin function.
More over, some SFP pins require special MUX settings, lets initialize
those depending on SFP configuration. This adds TX Disable pin,
which right now is set to low at startup.
Caveats:
- We may still override MUX registry later
- Not sure how to handle invalid bus definitions
- Without SFP is it fine to *not* initialize anything?
- Do to RAM limitation we do inititalize output GPIO to low
