UART is broken out to the unpopulated switch header at the front of the
board.
This isn't quite the same as the V2.0 definition as the system led is
always on, not routed through the CPU.
Additionally, document that the newer revision of the same "YS25-0402"
is supported via the existing PCB-K0402WS-V3.0 target.
The strip no longer wraps. Ports shrink to fit the row and scroll
when they cannot, so the header on a phone stays at two rows. The
strip moves under the title only below 720 px, where it no longer
fits beside it. Drop the unused d_ports strings and the strip title.
The row of port icons lived in a card on the Dashboard, so link
state and speed were out of sight on every other tab. Move it into the
header between the title and the save button, a little smaller, and
poll /status.json whenever the page is open instead of only on the
Dashboard, Ports and Statistics tabs; the existing idle and hidden-tab
gating still pauses it. On narrow screens the strip wraps to its own
row under the title.
The column counts the addresses the switch learns from incoming frames,
so "Connected" suggested a connection it does not show. The translations
follow the words the L2 tab already uses for learned entries.
hexvalue[] holds four bytes, but atoi_hex() stored every digit it was
given, so a ninth digit was written past the array into whatever follows
it in xdata. More than eight digits now return 0, as any bad input does.
c - '0' < 10 is computed as an int, so characters below '0' such as '-',
'.' or '/' passed as digits and "-1" came out as 0xdf. The difference is
now taken as uint8_t, so they are rejected.
The document was renamed from doc/trunking.md in "Update LAG configuration
registers" and the entry in the README kept the old name, so it leads
nowhere.
"port <port> cabletest" runs the cable diagnostic of the copper PHYs
and reports one line per pair: ok, or open, short, short to another
pair or impedance mismatch with the distance to the fault.
The PHY part follows the cable_test_start and cable_test_get_status
ops of the Linux phy_driver and takes the port number:
rtl_phy_cable_test_start() triggers the test and
rtl_phy_cable_test_get_status() returns true once all four pairs are
done, with a result code and a length per pair. The decode order is
the one of the Linux driver. The same two functions drive the RTL8224
and the internal PHYs of the RTL8372 and RTL8373.
The command only powers the port down and returns. A state machine
called from handle_tick() calls the start op after one second, polls
the status op, stores the result, clears the trigger, also after a
timeout, and restores the control register, so the main loop never
waits. The result is printed when it is ready and "port <port>
cabletest show" prints it again. One test runs at a time.
The result flags are the low byte of the per-pair status word. The
vendor code reads the high byte, which is always zero on the RTL8373.
A link partner that keeps transmitting makes the PHY report an
inter-pair short on every pair, and forcing the speed with
autonegotiation off, as the Linux driver does, does not take the link
down. The port is therefore powered down for a second before the
test. The control register is restored afterwards with an
autonegotiation restart, so speed settings survive and the link
returns.
A test started on a port that is switched off never finishes and
leaves the PHY unusable until the switch is reset, so such a port is
refused, and a test is dropped if the port is switched off during the
wait. SFP ports are refused by the existing check. The external copper
PHYs of the RTL8372 boards are refused because the test has not been
run on one.
The distance is the raw length word minus 150, at 43 counts per 50 cm.
Fitted on open cables of 0.9 m, 2 m and 7.6 m; the pairs of one cable
differ by about 0.2 m. The Linux formula, raw minus 620 at 78 counts
per metre, gives 0, 0 and 2.4 m for these cables.
An unplugged port has no defined result: some pairs report open at
about 0.5 m and others a short or a mismatch at 2 to 3 m.
