Building with SDCC 4.6.0 emits tons of warnings e.g.:
cmd_parser.c:31: warning 356: object in read-only code space should be const
cmd_parser.c:36: warning 357: pointer to object in read-only code space should be pointer to const
These of course become fatal when building with --Werror.
Comparing resultant binaries, it seems that a single string is shifted
(deduplication?) but the numbers emitted at the end of the build are
otherwise identical.
The row sits between Hardware and Flash. The firmware sends the formatted string
rather than the raw register, since the System table prints its values as they
arrive.
Costs 186 bytes in BANK1.
The vendor, model and serial strings are filtered while the EEPROM read
fills the buffers, so the page copies them out as they are. NUL still
ends a string, so a field shorter than its slot reads the same as before.
The three loops in send_status() become one call each. strcpy() cannot
return the length: rtl837x_common.h hides that prototype under
RTLP_HOST_TEST so host builds take the C library version, and a call
that adds its result to slen does not compile there. A small static
helper does the copy instead, and bank 1 drops by 96 bytes.
A port named NAS"1 made status.json unparsable, so the page stopped
loading, and the name survives a reboot in the saved config. VLAN names
and the SFP strings have the same problem.
They now go through a helper that replaces ", \ and non-printable bytes
with a dot, the way the hostname is already sanitized on ingest. The
length does not change, so the size checks still hold.
The helper also covers the 0xa0 byte that send_sfp_info() skipped as a
special case, so that check is gone.
Compiling these two files for the host turns up warnings that SDCC does
not print: four places mix & with | and two mix && with ||, and l2_delete
keeps a counter it never reads. The parentheses only say what the
compiler already does, so the generated code is unchanged.
counter_to_html() reads the SFRs directly for the zero test, which saves
14 bytes of bank 1.
send_status wrote the high and the low word of a packet counter one after
the other, each without its leading zeros. That reads fine until a port
passes four billion packets; from then on a low word of 5 prints as "0x15"
next to a high word of 1, and the rates the page derives from the
difference between two readings jump around. send_counters already padded
the low word, so both now share one helper that pads it only when the high
word is set, which also drops the leading "0" the counters page used to
print in front of every small value.
The session cookie carried neither Expires nor Max-Age, so browsers that
clean up session cookies aggressively (LibreWolf, for one) may drop it
while the session is still valid. Send Max-Age=session_timeout so the
declared lifetime matches the timeout already enforced by the firmware.
itoa16_html() only converted four digits, so extend it to five to print
timeouts up to 65535. That also fixes information.json, which used the
same helper and reported wrong values from 10000 s up.
Adds a numeric input next to the syslog settings to read and set the
session timeout without knowing the command. The current value is
reported in information.json, so the field also shows the default the
firmware was built with.
Costs 86 bytes of code (BANK1) and nothing in RAM.
Save to flash ran the stored config through the same filter as the
command log, so stored lines the page does not know were dropped. The
stored lines are now carried over as they are and only the log is
filtered.
ingress only changes the ports it lists, but the merge replaced every
stored ingress line. It now merges per port; "ingress t|u|a" still
replaces everything, and per-port settings an all-ports line already
overrode are not revived.
Write from the config editor no longer clears the command log or the
unsaved marker, since the edited text does not hold the changes made on
other pages; only Save, which merges them, clears the log.
The command log grows from 1 kB to 2 kB, which still fits the 2500 byte
output buffer, and send_cmd_log() stops at the end of that buffer.
Spanning tree so far saw only physical ports. Two ports aggregated towards
the same neighbour look to the protocol like two parallel paths, so it
blocks one of them and cuts the group in half.
Give each of the four groups an STP entity of its own, numbered above the
physical ports. A member port answers to its group: BPDUs arriving on it
are accounted to the entity, the entity's state is written to every member
together, and its BPDUs carry the state of a live member. Ports outside
any group keep behaving exactly as before.
Membership comes from the aggregation tables once a second; when it
changed, the entity's state is reapplied to the new set of members. The
CLI takes lag <1-4> wherever it takes port <n>, the web UI shows a group
as one row, and the saved config keeps the lag form of the commands.
A device on an aggregate is learned against whichever member the frame came in
on, and the hash moves that around: the same address changes port every time
the flow mix changes. The table was telling the truth and there was no way to
read it, since nothing on the page or the console says those two ports are one
link.
port_lag_of() already exists and already knows the answer, so both views ask
it. The console prints LAG1 in place of the member, and /l2.json carries a
"lag" field beside the port, 0 when the port stands alone, which is the shape
/stp.json already uses.
Costs 151 bytes of BANK1.
The /cmd path carried its own copy of the plain-text response header,
which was the same string page_impl.c already keeps in
HTTP_RESPONCE_TXT, minus one difference: the shared one never said
Connection: close.
This httpd closes after every response, so a reply that does not
advertise it invites the browser to reuse the socket and lose the next
request. HTTP_RESPONCE_JSON has always said so; the text one was the
odd one out, and send_config() and send_cmd_log() were answering
without it.
The copy is gone and the shared string carries the header. The check
for a command that printed nothing now compares against the length
strtox() returned instead of sizeof() on the macro.
Test the busy flag and compare the entry's MAC against the SFR data
registers directly instead of going through the sfr_data copy, and
rewrite TBL_DATA_0 in place rather than reassembling all four bytes.
Smaller and faster on the deepest httpd path.

The L2 page's Delete button removes any table entry by index, including
the entry for the switch's own MAC on the CPU port. Without that entry
unicast to the management address is no longer delivered to the CPU, so
management goes dark until the CPU happens to transmit again and the
entry is relearned. Compare the entry's MAC against uip_ethaddr before
rewriting it and answer result 0 for the switch's own address, as for a
missing entry. The compare is inline: this handler sits at the bottom of
the uIP call chain, where every extra call level costs internal RAM.
The enabled flag is a flag, so say bool. The header length no longer needs
to live in xdata: it was put there when a local would not link, and there
is room for it here.
The overview names the row after the JSON key, so the syslog row said
"syslog_server_ip" while carrying only an address. It now says
"syslog_server" and carries the port with it.
An empty slot used to read back 0xa0 per byte and the filter dropped it,
so the field came out empty. Block reads report the failure instead and
leave the buffer alone, and these two callers ignored that and printed
what the last successful read had left there.
Say nothing when there is nothing to read, which is what the other eight
callers of sfp_read_block() already do.
Both conflicts are the register keyword removal meeting a change of ours,
so each takes main's signature and keeps what the branch was saying:
nic_rx_packet() still returns a bool, and port_ingress_filter_get() stays
declared.
main has since put its own copy of the STP module in BANK2, so the pragma
this branch carried is now duplicated. The one with main's comment stays.
cmd_parser.c conflicted twice: main rewrote the pvid command around the
new port-separator and atoi helpers, next to the line where this branch
delegates "stp" to stp_parse(). Both belong, so the STP delegation keeps
main's pvid body.
The linker caught what the merge could not see: main changed atoi_byte()
to return the digit count and leave the value in atoi_results_u8, where
it used to return non-zero on failure and write through a pointer. Note
the sense is inverted, so the three calls in rtl837x_stp.c are adjusted
rather than just re-arranged.
Only httpd.c conflicted: main added the buffered configuration upload
next to the pointers this branch had moved into xdata to free internal
RAM. Both belong, so the new globals sit above declarations that keep
their storage class.
The I2C controller transfers up to sixteen bytes per transaction and
page_impl.c already used that for sfp_send_data(), while sfp_read_reg()
asked for one byte and every caller looped. Reading a module therefore
cost one address phase per byte: 87 transactions when a module is
inserted, 52 for the sfp command, 36 for the vendor block in status.json.
sfp_read_block() replaces sfp_read_reg() and the callers that already
wanted a run of registers ask for it once: the vendor fields as three
16 byte pages, the diagnostics as one transfer, rate and encoding
together. That drops the three paths above to 8, 6 and 3 transactions,
and sfp_send_data() loses its copy of the transfer.
The vendor loops now run over 16..63 rather than 20..59 so the page base
is a multiple of sixteen and the index into the buffer is a single AND.
The four extra bytes at each end are read and discarded. The diagnostics
read asks for 16 bytes rather than the 15 it uses, because 16 is a width
the shipped firmware already exercises and 15 is not.
The device address, the bus selection and the start bit go into the
control register in one write now that the memory address is written
first, so a transfer touches that register once instead of three times.
The register reads take their result from the SFRs directly rather than
through the sfr_data mirror. The result is a bool and the destination is
sfp_buf, so a caller that cares about a failed transfer looks at the
return value instead of a flag.
Every caller gives up on the first failed read rather than carrying a
flag to the end, which is why the module read moved out of handle_sfp
into a function of its own. A module whose read fails is left marked as
absent, so the next poll retries it instead of configuring the SerDes
from bytes that never arrived.
BANK1 -194 bytes, BANK2 +382, common segment +44, xdata +15 for the
buffer, and one byte more of internal RAM free than before the series.
Built for all 25 machine definitions on sdcc 4.5.0; the tightest common
segment is 98 bytes free on SWTG024AS_V2_0, against 54 before this
series.
send_config() streams a configuration larger than the TCP output buffer
through the cont_addr/cont_len continuation, but set cont_addr to the
offset within the config instead of a flash address, so the tail was read
from code space. The file server sets cont_addr absolute; do the same by
adding CONFIG_START.
The bug was unreachable while CONFIG_UPLOAD_BUF capped uploads below
TCP_OUTBUF_SIZE, but a stored config near the full sector exposes it.
The variable lives in rtlplayground.c, so it is declared in rtl837x_common.h
with the others there, and it follows the naming of the rest.
The header carried comments on the externs that the definitions in
rtl837x_stp.c repeat, sometimes differently, which is one place too many to
keep in step. What only the header had, the value ranges and what the
designated arrays hold, moved to the definitions; the rest is gone. Function
declarations lost their comments too.
The status printer only prints, so its running commentary went. A define
replaces the bare 33 in stp_in(), and the note on the loop check is down to
what applies at that line.
The three xdata bytes and the reused stp_we_root scratch are gone; the
compiler needs a register for an index either way. Frees four bytes of
xdata and 29 bytes of code.
The window could be armed from the serial console but only ever disarmed
by an HTTP request. save_cmd, which gates arming, is cleared only while
execute_config() replays the startup config, so every interactive command
armed it wherever it was typed, while mgmt_alive, which disarms it, was
written in exactly one place, on HTTP traffic. An operator working
entirely on the serial console therefore lost STP 180 seconds after
enabling it however much they typed, which is what makes the mechanism
impossible to test from a console.
The documentation described the behaviour that was intended rather than
the one that was built, and in both directions: it said a command on the
serial console also confirms, and it said a reboot with STP in the
startup config disables it again three minutes later. Neither held. The
replay path never armed the window at all.
Repairing the asymmetry would have kept a mechanism whose premise is
contested anyway. A watchdog that switches the protection off in response
to silence adds a second failure mode on top of the first: where the
network is misconfigured and STP is the thing holding a storm back,
restoring forwarding removes the last reason management still answers.
Gone with it: the stp failsafe command, the fs and fsT fields of
/stp.json, the input and the tripped banner on the Spanning Tree page,
the two persistence patterns in config.js, the documentation section, and
mgmt_alive itself, which had no other reader.
550 bytes back, 145 of BANK1 and 405 of BANK2, and five of xdata, which
is the four counters and mgmt_alive and nothing else. Built for
SWTGW218AS and KP_9000_6XHML_X2 on sdcc 4.5.0.
stp_dbridge, stp_dpid and stp_dcost were declared and read by the status page,
but nothing ever wrote them, so they stayed zero for the life of the firmware.
The page's validity test then always failed, and the Designated Bridge,
Designated Port ID and Designated Cost columns reported our own values on every
port, including the root port where the answer is the upstream neighbour. The
three arrays reserved 140 bytes of xdata and never used any of it.
They are filled now, right after the loop check, so a frame that came back from
one of our own ports is not mistaken for a neighbour.
The validity test moves from the last byte of the stored MAC to the stored Port
ID. A Port ID is 1-based on the wire and cannot be zero, while a neighbour whose
MAC happens to end in 0x00 would have failed the old test.
The root path cost byte swap happens once now, and the root port branch reuses
the value instead of repeating the shifts.
BANK2 grows 148 bytes, BANK1 loses 9, and xdata does not move.
Review asked for this across the other commits too. Gone are the blocks
that restate what doc/stp.md already says, the ones that explain what an
embedded programmer already knows, and one that had gone stale inside this
very branch: the CLI summary above stp_parse still described "cost <0-255>
(x1000)" while the parser has taken the raw 0 to 200000000 for some time,
and it never learned about p2p or trk at all. A usage list next to the
parser is the kind of thing that rots first, so it is out rather than
updated.
The review flagged one comment saying a variable is in xdata because the
internal RAM overlay is full, on the grounds that it may stop being true.
Four more of the same kind were in these files and are out as well, one of
them pointing at a file that does not exist in this branch at all. The
declarations still say __xdata, which is the part a reader needs.
Also out: the note on why three helpers are __reentrant, which was really
a paragraph about two bytes of DSEG, and the measurement story behind the
tick divider, which belongs with the other timer numbers in doc/stp.md.
One comment was not stale but simply wrong. "max BPDUs per port per second"
sat on stp_failsafe_tripped, having slid down two lines when the two
failsafe variables were inserted above it. It describes stp_txhold and is
back there now.
Short factual labels stay: they sit next to the magic number they explain
and the codebase uses them throughout. The generated code is byte for byte
what it was before this commit, both banks and xdata unchanged.
The timers assumed stp_timers() runs at 64 Hz. It does not: the main loop
idles on the 200 Hz system tick and calls us every fourth pass, i.e.
50 Hz. Measured on hardware - with hello configured to 2 s the BPDUs left
the port 2.560 s apart, exactly the 28 % overshoot the wrong constant
implies, and every other timer (forward delay, max age, tx-hold refill)
was stretched the same way.
Move the constant to the header with the arithmetic spelled out, and use
it in the status page too, which had the 64 hardcoded and therefore aged
the same counters differently than the engine.
Bring the Spanning Tree page in line with a typical managed switch's
per-port panel. Configuration gains the full-range path cost (raw
0..200000000, 0 = auto, replacing the old 1000x-scaled byte), a
point-to-point admin control (auto/on/off), and the priority is now a
0..240 step-16 dropdown. A new status table shows, per port, the Port
State, Role, Designated Bridge / Port ID / Cost (learned from received
BPDUs, kept per port and aged via the BPDU age), Operational Edge and
Operational Point-to-Point.
The designated fields fall back to presenting this switch as the
segment's designated bridge when no fresh BPDU has been heard (so a
quiet port shows our own bridge-id, as the vendor UIs do). /stp.json
carries the packed hex fields plus our own MAC for that fallback.
Space: reclaim BANK2 for the above by moving rtl837x_pins to HOME and
compacting leds_dump into a register-address table (~800B); bandwidth
returns to BANK1. No BANK3 - hardware-verified that PSBANK > 2 crashes
this SoC at boot (a bricked unit and an SPI-programmer recovery earlier
today); a warning to that effect is now in rtl837x_lldp.c.
Hardware-verified: cost 200000000 and p2p off round-trip through the CLI
and JSON, the status table populates correctly with STP enabled (all
ports Forwarding/Designated, oper-edge and oper-p2p True), LACP 3f/3f
and the LAN unaffected.
(cherry picked from commit 2ec62072f061dc9e78bc821ba1c297cb6819e206)
Enabling STP on a bridge whose management rides an in-band VLAN can cut
off that very management - and not only by our own blocking: on this
network the upstream TP-Link Easy Smart switch's "loop prevention"
reacted to our BPDU hellos by blocking ITS port towards us while our
ASIC was all-forwarding, isolating the whole segment until a power
cycle. Recoverable only by going quiet.
Add a commit-confirm watchdog: while STP is enabled, any HTTP request
re-arms a countdown ("stp failsafe <seconds>", default 180, 0 disables);
if management stays silent for the whole window, STP disables itself,
which also stops BPDU TX so a neighbour's loop protection can release
its block. The web UI polls /stp.json every 2 s, so an open browser
naturally keeps the watchdog re-armed. The trip is reported via
/stp.json (fs, fsT) and as a warning on the Spanning Tree page.
Deliberately not conditioned on our own MSTP port states - the incident
above proves the uplink can be dead while every local port forwards.
Also bound the NIC DMA busy-waits (nic_tx_packet, nic_rx_header,
nic_rx_packet): an unbounded spin on SFR_NIC_CTRL freezes the entire
main loop (timers, HTTP, ARP) if the ASIC ever fails to consume a
transfer; give up after ~65k polls and drop the frame instead.
Hardware-verified end to end: with priority 15 against a live RSTP
bridge the uplink died 6 s after "stp on" and the network recovered BY
ITSELF 66 s later (trip at 45 s + neighbour release), fsT=1, LACP and
LAN intact. Telemetry via syslog-to-edge-port host confirmed the full
chain: countdown 44->4, trip, hello TX stopping at the trip.
(cherry picked from commit 1fa9775156fd6d7ebfdda2382f73430b86601230)
Implements the standard 802.1D-2004/802.1w configuration surface:
Bridge: priority (0-15 x4096), hello time, max age, forward delay,
force-version (RSTP v2 / STP-compatible v0 Config BPDUs), tx hold
count (per-port per-second BPDU budget).
Per port: enable, admin edge (forwarding immediately - no listen gap),
auto edge (forwarding after 3 s of BPDU silence; DEFAULT, so
host-facing ports no longer take the full forward delay),
path cost (0=auto/20000), port priority, BPDU guard (port disabled
on BPDU receipt), root guard (never accept a better root on the
port), BPDU filter (no BPDUs in or out).
Engine additions: root max-age expiry (reclaim the tree when the root goes
silent), root path cost accounting (rx cost + root-port cost, advertised in
our BPDUs), loop detection (our own BPDU coming back blocks the port for a
listen period), topology-change counter, approximated per-port roles
(Root/Designated/Alternate) for diagnostics.
CLI: "stp prio|hello|maxage|fwd|txhold|version ..." and
"stp port <n> on|off|edge|cost|prio|guard|filter ..." (stp_parse, delegated
from cmd_parser); all forms accepted by the startup-config validator so the
whole configuration persists. /stp.json now reports config + status; the
Spanning Tree page exposes everything with immediate-apply controls and live
state/role columns (edit-in-flight guard against the 2 s refresh).
8051 memory: the module moves to code BANK2; internal-RAM pressure from
cross-bank calls resolved by xdata loop iterators/scratch, __reentrant on
the small helpers, and moving httpd's header-pointer globals to xdata.
Verified on hardware (SWTGW218AS): defaults land per standard; priority and
hello change live; admin-edge ports (the LACP bond uplinks) keep the LAN at
0% loss THROUGH "stp on"; auto-edge ports forward after 3 s; a port that
heard real BPDUs (a VM bridge behind physical port 6) correctly declined
auto-edge, sat out the full listen period and became Designated; tc counts
promotions; we win the root election at priority 16384 vs 32768.
(cherry picked from commit 09a34dc6acdc81ab9cab0727d2f4a59c68131a3e)
Add a Spanning Tree page: an on/off toggle driving the existing "stp"
command over /cmd, and a live status section fed by a new /stp.json
endpoint - the elected root bridge (priority + MAC), our path cost,
whether we are the root, and the per-port STP state read live from the
ASIC's MSTP register (same 2-bit encoding stp_setup() writes). Ports are
reported by their physical numbers.

The MAC table listing tests bit 0 of byte 2 of the third table data
word for the static flag, but the flag lives in bit 0 of byte 1: an
entry written with byte 1 bit 0 set survives the aging engine
indefinitely where an identical entry without it ages out, and reads
back with exactly that bit set through both the address and the
next-entry read methods. Byte 2 of that word reads zero for learned and
static entries alike, so every entry has always been listed as learned
and a static entry has never been visible as such in the table listing.
The two flags added with the JSON fix sit in data, where internal RAM is
full enough that this branch stopped linking for some toolchains. __bit
puts them in the bit area instead and hands three bytes back to the
stack: SSEG goes from 131 to 134 on SWTGW218AS.
Patch by vDorst on the pull request.
The MAC table listing wrote its separator once per iteration rather than
once per object. An entry the table engine reports as invalid produces no
object, so it contributed a bare comma, and two in a row give ",," which
JSON.parse rejects. The whole table then fails to load, not just the row
that was missing. The separator now goes before each object and the
closing bracket after the loop, which is the shape send_vlanlist already
uses further down the file.
The next index for an invalid entry was computed as h | low + 1, and the
addition binds tighter than the or. That agrees with (h | low) + 1 except
when the low byte reads 0xff and bit 8 of the index is already set, eight
of the 4096 combinations. There the result is the start of the current
block of 256 rather than the start of the next one, so the walk repeats a
block it has already covered. Reading the index once after the branch
rather than once in each arm removes the second copy of that expression
along with the bug.
The VLAN now comes first in each object. It is taken from the same
L2_DATA_OUT_B read that decides whether the entry is valid, which saves
reading that register a second time. The page addresses the fields by
name, so the order they arrive in does not matter to it.
A bound check on the output buffer goes in for consistency with
send_vlanlist. Thirty entries of at most 74 bytes plus the brackets fit in
the 2500 byte buffer with 179 to spare, so nothing changes today, but the
margin was nowhere stated and L2_MAX_TRANSFER is a tunable.
5 bytes of BANK1, nothing in BANK2, xdata or internal RAM. Built for SWTGW218AS
and KP_9000_6XHML_X2 on sdcc 4.5.0.
