page_impl.c and rtl837x_port.c are linked together over the simulated
engine, so /vlan.json, /vlanlist and /l2.json are checked against what
vlan_create, pvid and the L2 table hold, through the same bytes the switch
would. The L2 walk is driven the way the web page drives it, page after
page until an index repeats, which is also where the repeat of the first
entry is pinned down as the wrap marker the page relies on. The counter
test fails on the code before the previous commit.
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 switch is reached through four register functions and the SFR_DATA
registers, so a flat register file behind them is enough to run the table
code on the host. A few addresses are live: writing TBL_CTRL with EXECUTE
performs the VLAN or L2 operation at once and clears the bit, STAT_GET
fetches a counter, L2_TBL_FLUSH_CTRL drops entries. Nothing ever reports
busy, so a polling loop runs once and the tests say nothing about what
happens when hardware stalls; that question was settled elsewhere.
The header states the VLAN and L2 entry layouts on its own, so a test can
hold what rtl837x_port.c writes against a second reading of the same bits
rather than against itself. The first suite does that for the VLAN entry,
the PVID register two ports share, the static multicast and management
entries, the per-port flush and the trunk registers. Two stub headers stand
in for the ones a firmware build generates, so the harness needs no SDCC
build first.
Two things kept every register-driven module out of the host harness. The
SFR keywords were unknown, so rtl837x_sfr.h did not compile at all, and once
it did, each translation unit would have defined its own copy of the
registers. They map to extern declarations now; a mock emits the storage
once by re-including the header with the keywords redefined.
The other was memset. rtl837x_common.h hides the firmware's own prototypes
under RTLP_HOST_TEST so host builds use the C library, but nothing declared
the library versions, and the modules do call them. The shim pulls in
string.h ahead of everything, where nothing can clash with it.
The messages said Error: themselves, or usage:, or nothing at all.
cmd_error() prints the prefix now, so every rejected command answers the
same way and the strings only carry what is specific to them.
Two messages that started with Error or refusing are reworded so the
prefix does not read twice. The syslog usage text becomes one string
instead of three calls.
run_cmd_body() answers POST /cmd with 400 when err_status is set, but
only the tokenizer set it. Every "Error:", "Invalid ..." and "Unknown
command" from the parsers went back as 200, so the web page reported the
command as applied, and save_cmd put the rejected line into the command
history, from where Save to flash wrote it into the startup config.
Set ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on every path that rejects a command: the err:
labels of the parsers, the parsers that print their own error, the
stp parser and the unknown command fallback. Warnings that still apply
the command, such as a full VLAN name table, are left alone.
Record a command in the history only when it was accepted, and let
execute_commands() report the first failure of a multi-line body, since
cmd_tokenize() clears err_status again for every following line.
The workflow only ran on push, so a pull request opened from a fork
never got a build, and neither did the host-side unit tests that run in
the same job.
session_id is cleared at boot and only a successful login fills it in,
while the uptime counter and last_session_use both start at 0. For the
first SESSION_TIMEOUT seconds after a start, a request carrying an empty
"Cookie: session=" therefore passes is_word_x(session, session_id) and
is treated as logged in, which is enough for /cmd, /config and /upload.
Only look at the cookie once a session has been handed out.
flash_read_security() ends its loop the same way flash_read_bulk() did
before the previous commit: only through comparisons with 1, 2, 3 and 4. A length of
zero matches none of them, the following subtraction wraps on uint16_t
and the loop keeps printing until the counter comes back down to 4.
No caller passes zero today, since the only one is the CLI with a
constant length of 40, but the bound belongs in the function rather
than in whoever calls it.
flash_read_bulk() ends its copy loop only through the comparisons
len == 1|2|3|4, so a length of zero matches none of them. The
following len -= 4 wraps on uint16_t to 65532 and reaches 4 only
after 16384 iterations, writing 65536 bytes to the destination and
overwriting the whole XDATA space.
send_config() gets there with valid_len 0 whenever the stored
configuration begins with a NUL byte, which is the state left by
uploading an empty configuration file. Every later request for the
configuration page then clears the management VLAN and the STP
flag and replaces the host address, while the switch keeps running
and keeps forwarding traffic.
The harness builds with the gcc the workflow already installs and runs
in under a second, so it goes before the SDCC steps and fails the build
first when a host-visible regression lands.
The firmware counts every authenticated request as session activity, and
the page polls the status every 2.5 s, so an open tab never let the
session expire. Track the last mouse, key, touch or wheel event and treat
the page as hidden once ten minutes have passed without one: the pollers
keep ticking but send nothing, the session times out in the firmware as
it did before, and the next input resumes polling, which meets the 401
and returns to the login page.
Building the firmware headers on the host showed two warnings from
machine.h: `typedef struct machine { ... };` and the same for
machine_runtime declare no alias, so the keyword only draws "useless
storage class specifier in empty declaration". Every user says
`struct machine`, so drop the keyword.
-Wno-builtin-declaration-mismatch is a gcc switch and clang reports it
as an unknown option on every build; add it only when the compiler is
not clang.
Compile selected firmware translation units unmodified under host gcc with
AddressSanitizer and UBSan, force-including a shim header that erases the
SDCC 8051 keywords, and link them against a mocked serial ring and console.
A first suite covers the CLI line editor: line entry, backspace editing,
and both long-input overflow cases (length cap and ring-pointer stall).
The only firmware-source change is one #ifndef RTLP_HOST_TEST block in
rtl837x_common.h grouping the libc-named prototypes (sleep/memcpy/memset/
strlen/strcpy/strcmp) so host builds take them from the C library instead;
on-target builds are unaffected.
Run with: make -C test
BANK2 outgrew its 48 KB window on PCB_SWTG018AS_V2_1_0 (49182 bytes, 30
over) once the spanning tree code learnt about link aggregation, and the
image builder refuses to link. Only KP_9000_6XHML_X2 is built in CI, so
the overflow was not caught there.
dhcp.c is self-contained: its three exports are __banked, the rest of
the module is only reached from inside it, it holds no __code pointers,
and its uip calls already crossed into BANK1. Moving the pragma is the
whole change. BANK2 49182 -> 43691 on PCB_SWTG018AS_V2_1_0, BANK3 5709
-> 11206, BANK1 +6 for the trampolines; the generated assembly shows no
plain lcall leaving the module's bank.
The firmware lists a LAG as its own entity in /stp.json (`lag` and `mbr`,
`p` 0) and drops the member ports from the list; its settings take
`stp lag <n>`. Give the group its own row in both spanning tree tables,
named with its members, key the cells by entity rather than port number,
and rebuild the tables whenever the entity set or a membership changes so
a group created on the LAG tab appears without a reload. The `stp lag`
commands are recognised for the unsaved-changes badge and the startup
config merge alongside `stp port`.
The rename of the entity index turned `stp port <n>` into `stp ent <n>`
in the parser only. doc/stp.md, the web UI and every saved startup
config still spell it `stp port`, so per-port settings were rejected on
the console and silently dropped when the startup config was replayed at
boot. Restore the keyword; `stp lag <n>` is unchanged.
A dark receiver reports 0 mW, which printed as -Infinity dBm. The DOM
value has a resolution of 0.1 uW, so -40 dBm is the lowest reading the
module can express; clamp there.
The header carried the save button, the language selector and the theme
selector on every section, although the latter two are set once. They
now live in a Display card in the System section; the header keeps the
title, the unsaved-changes badge and Save to flash.
The forwarding database is read a page at a time; leaving the MAC table
or ports section let the walk carry on through the request queue. Give
the walk a generation number that the leave hooks bump, and stop the
walk at the next page when it is stale.
The VLAN table is one /vlanlist plus one /vlan.json per VLAN. A failed
per-VLAN request rejected the chain, so every VLAN after it was missing
from the table, indistinguishable from VLANs that do not exist. Keep the
row with the id and name from the list and a ? in the port columns.
Save to flash showed the merged startup config read-only, so a stray line
had to be fixed afterwards in the System section. The preview is now a
textarea: the size and unknown-line notes follow the edits, the write
button is disabled above 2048 bytes, and what is written is the edited
text.
The default hostname (RTLPlayground- plus six hex digits) overflows the
200 px sidebar; clip it with an ellipsis and keep the full name in the
title. The MTU and Mbit/s fields were 70 px, which leaves no room for five
digits next to a number spinner. The main column stops at 1400 px instead
of 1100 px so the dashboard cards sit side by side on a wide screen.
The old dashboard showed a hover tooltip per port with the link state and,
for SFP ports, the module and its DOM readings, and rewrote it on every
poll. The single-page app replaced it with a click-to-open dialog that was
a snapshot: the values did not change while it was open.
Build the rows once per port and use them for both: the dialog is
re-rendered on every status poll while it is open, and each port in the
strip carries the same rows as its title.
The firmware emits every per-port array in logical port order, which on a
board with a remapped port table (SWGT024: phys_to_log = {4,5,6,7,8,3,...})
is 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The old pages iterated over physical port numbers and
looked each entry up; the single-page app rendered the arrays as received,
so the ports, spanning tree, EEE and bandwidth tables and the dashboard
strip came out in logical order, and the strip put the SFP marker and the
detail view on the wrong port.
Sort every array by portNum on receipt so index i is port i+1 throughout.
The pages become one index.html holding every section, one app.js and a
self-contained login.html. The layout is a sidebar with light, dark and
Selenized themes (or follow the OS), a live dashboard with per-port
packet rates, and confirmation dialogs in front of the actions that can
lock the operator out.
Behaviour changes against the previous pages:
- every request goes through one queue that waits for the previous
response BODY rather than its headers: the firmware shares a single
output buffer across connections and delimits responses by closing,
so a second request in flight corrupts the first
- "Save to flash" merges the command log into the startup configuration
with the grammar the console accepts, shows the result before writing,
verifies the sector by reading it back and clears the command log only
after that; the header shows an "unsaved changes" badge while the
running configuration differs from flash
- the console section shows the output the firmware returns for a
command, including the parser's explanation on a rejected one
- the firmware update section checks size, bank header and CRC16 of the
image in the browser before uploading, shows upload progress and waits
for the switch to come back after the reset
- the ports table shows the learned MAC of a port when there is exactly
one and the count otherwise; the MAC table sorts per column, filters,
and names the LAG a learned address sits behind
- the spanning tree section sends only the settings that changed on
Apply instead of one command per control event
- link aggregation groups are numbered 1-4 like the command line, and
applying an empty group clears it
The translation table is inline in app.js with English, Japanese and
Chinese. The language selector sits in the page header and reloads the
page so that dynamically built tables are rebuilt in the new language.
Only login.html and the favicon are served before authentication; the
stylesheet, the port images and the old script bundle no longer exist.
The simulator's allowlist follows the firmware's.
