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.
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.
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
Detect the SOC type and variant. RTL8372 vs RTL8373 and also is it as
non-N/N variant of the SOC.
Even if the machine profile is wrong the hardware will be initilised on
the detected type.
