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.
The session timer was refreshed only when a page from the file table was
served, so a client that loads its pages once and then talks to the JSON
endpoints alone is logged out SESSION_TIMEOUT seconds after the load,
however busy it is. A firmware upload started after that point is answered
with 401 instead of a verdict. Refresh the timer wherever the session
cookie validates, which covers every authenticated request, and drop the
file-serving refresh that this makes redundant.
The firmware now refuses to delete the switch's own entry, so the
button on the CPU row can only fail; leave it out. When a delete
succeeds, remove the entry from the cached table and repaint instead
of leaving the stale row until the next refresh.
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 CPU's own MAC exists in the L2 table only as a learned entry,
created whenever the CPU transmits, and it ages out like any other
dynamic entry. Unknown unicast is not flooded to the CPU port, so on an
idle switch (no web session, no management traffic) the entry expires
after the aging time and frames for the management IP no longer reach
the CPU: pings die until the next CPU transmission (an ARP reply)
re-teaches the entry, then die again. Real management sessions keep the
entry alive continuously, which is why this is only visible on idle
switches.
Install a static entry for the management MAC on the CPU port after the
startup config has been replayed, so it lands in the final management
VLAN, and move it when the management VLAN is changed at runtime.
Entry mechanics, established on hardware: a table write with read-method
0 hashes the key in TBL_DATA_IN and places the entry itself (a search
returns index 0 on a miss, there is no software-visible insertion slot).
The age field in the third data word must be non-zero for the entry to
be visible to lookup at all, and the static flag (bit 0 of byte 1 of
that word) stops the aging engine from decrementing it: with the flag a
full-age entry survives untouched where an identical unflagged entry
ages to invisible within the aging period. With no management VLAN
configured the entry lives in VLAN 1.
A POST /cmd whose body arrives in a separate TCP segment from the headers
executed nothing: handle_post() read the body from the segment that
carried the request line, found it empty, and answered 200 OK. Python's
urllib and requests both write headers and body separately, so every
scripted command from those clients became a silent no-op. POST /login had
the same hole. The multipart endpoints were fixed earlier; this covers the
plain ones.
When the first segment holds fewer body bytes than Content-Length
announces, the bytes accumulate in config_buf (idle outside multipart
uploads) and the connection waits in TSTATE_POSTBODY; once the announced
length is in, the endpoint runs against the buffer. The /cmd and /login
executions move into run_cmd_body() and run_login_body() so both paths
share them; the 200 OK builder they duplicated becomes send_ok(), and
run_login_body() checks the pwd= prefix instead of skipping four bytes
blindly.
The announced length is the contract on both paths. A body that arrives
with the headers is terminated at Content-Length before it runs, so
pipelined bytes after it are not executed as commands the way the old
code did. A request without a usable Content-Length answers 411: without
one there is no way to know when the body has arrived, and the old 200
OK for an empty body is the bug this fixes. Bodies announced at or above
the buffer size answer 400 before anything is buffered.
The wait state has a deadline. uIP is built with a single connection,
and an ESTABLISHED connection with nothing in flight never times out on
its own, so headers followed by silence (a script interrupted, a link
dropped mid-request, or someone holding the socket on purpose) would
otherwise keep the slot until reboot; POST /login reaches the wait
before authentication. The poll handler aborts the connection when the
body has made no progress for five seconds, measured on the 200 Hz
system tick rather than on poll count, which runs faster under interrupt
load.
Record the announced body length alongside Content-Type and the session
cookie. The value goes through parse_short(), so an announcement that does
not fit sixteen bits saturates at 0xffff rather than wrapping to something
the size checks would accept, and a missing or unparseable header reads as 0.
Nothing consumes it yet; the plain POST endpoints take it up next.
The scan stepped over the NUL that ends the received data before breaking,
so on a request whose headers were cut short it returned a pointer one past
the data. handle_post() then tested that byte for the end of the header,
reading whatever an earlier packet had left there instead of the NUL the
appcall wrote, and could go on to run an endpoint against the stale bytes.
Break before advancing so the returned pointer sits on the NUL and the
caller's check sees it.
The digit loop accumulated into a uint16_t without a bound, so a query
such as /vlan.json?vid=65540 read as VLAN 4 and every consumer saw a small,
valid-looking number for an out-of-range one. Clamp the result at 0xffff
once another digit would overflow (6552 * 10 + 9 is the last value that
fits). The consumers already reject or mask 0xffff: vlan_get() refuses
anything from 4095 up, send_l2() masks the index to the table size, and
l2_delete() masks the high byte.
scan_header() found Content-Type and Cookie with is_word(), which compares
bytes exactly and requires a separator after the pattern. Field names are
case-insensitive (RFC 7230 section 3.2), and the whitespace after the colon
is optional, so "content-type: multipart/..." and "Content-Type:multipart/..."
were both treated as absent. The value pointers were then fixed offsets that
assumed exactly one space.
Add header_value(), which matches a lower-case name anchored at the line
start, folds the request bytes to lower case as it compares, and returns
the start of the value past any blanks, so a call site no longer adds the
name length by hand. Cookie scanning reuses the returned pointer, and the
end-of-header test becomes the strstart() the file already has.
The tail of handle_post() interleaved the config and firmware upload
paths behind one config_upload conditional. Give each path its own
function, handle_config_fragment() and handle_firmware_fragment(), and
reduce handle_post() to routing.
Both handlers keep their own copy of the buffer-and-bounds-check
prologue: with SDCC a shared helper costs 2 bytes of direct RAM for
the fragment pointer (a spill slot when the parameter lives in xdata,
a DSEG home when it does not), and direct RAM is fully allocated. The
memory layout is unchanged from the pre-split code.
cfg_pos, cfg_hdr, cfg_body, cfg_end, cfg_last and cfg_bl are used only
by config_take(), so move them out of file scope and into the function.
The five cursors stay static: SDCC register-caches automatic xdata
locals and spills them through DSEG slots, which costs 6 bytes of direct
RAM this build has no room for; static keeps the access pattern of the
old globals and the memory layout is unchanged. cfg_bl produces no spill
slot at the current register pressure, so it is a plain local. The
mechanism is recorded in issue #386.
handle_post() reused cfg_pos and cfg_end as scratch for unrelated
values; those uses get their own named locals, frag_len and
payload_start.
make clean left tools/output in place, so the host tools were never
rebuilt after a clean. SUBDIRSCLEAN, which builds the per-directory
clean target names for exactly that purpose, was defined but nothing
consumed it. Give clean and distclean those targets as prerequisites
and add the rule that runs the subdirectory's own clean, which
tools/Makefile already provides.
The preamble scan cursor and the buffered-length parameter carry no
state between calls, so they do not need static xdata slots. As plain
locals the compiler places both in registers, trimming 64 bytes of
BANK1 code and two bytes of xdata.
The offsets shared by config_take() stay static: direct data space is
fully allocated on machines like the SWTGW218AS, so plain locals there
add overlay bytes that no longer link, and xdata-class locals spill
three temporaries into direct space while growing the code by roughly
120 bytes. Document pre_acc, whose accumulation across TCP segments is
why it must remain global.
A firmware upload previously ended in a silent connection close, leaving
the client unable to distinguish a verified upload from a failed one.
Send an explicit 200/400 verdict with the CRC result, with
Content-Length so the browser completes the response before the reset,
and only reset the chip once the verdict has been fully ACKed.
The unconditional close after a config upload is gone since the
buffered config path answers with its own response, so drop the
now-unreachable close hack from the streaming path.
A firmware image cannot be buffered whole, so the upload is streamed to
flash, and stream_upload() already resumes across TCP segments. The
multipart preamble did not: handle_post() walked the part headers from the
start of whichever segment it held, so a client that split inside the
octet-stream part header lost its place, never started streaming, and the
request hung. Firefox splits exactly there, right after filename=".
Buffer the multipart body only until the octet-stream part header is
complete, locate the payload, then stream from that point; later segments
stream as before. The header reuses the configuration buffer, which is idle
during a firmware upload, so no extra memory is needed.
All entry points are already __banked and none of the code runs in
interrupt context, so the module can leave the resident bank. This
relieves pressure on bank 0, which no longer fits a machine with a
custom init table.
Measured against the generic leds_setup() output on the board: eight of
the 21 stock values are identical to what leds_setup() computes from
the machine's led_mux table, and eight more revert to the generic
values with no change in LED behaviour in any tested link state (copper
2.5G, SFP 2.5G, SFP 10G). Keep the five with a measurable effect: 6528
selects blue over green at 10G, 6540/6548 carry the SFP and copper LED
set behaviour, 65dc enables the LED outputs, and PIN_MUX_0 routes the
blue pin.
Verified from a clean boot on a SWTG018AS-V2.1.0 board: copper solid
green with activity blink at 2.5G on two ports, SFP green at 2.5G,
SFP blue at 10G, LEDs off on link down.
machine_custom_init() runs once at boot, but its code and any tables it
uses were compiled into machine.c and so into the common bank. On the
SWTG018AS-V2.1.0 variant, whose init carries a 21-entry LED register
table, that overflows bank 0 by 0x66 bytes and main no longer links for
MACHINE_PCB_SWTG018AS_V2_1_0; any machine whose init grows can hit the
same wall. SDCC segment pragmas apply file-wide, so the hooks move to a
new machine_init.c compiled into BANK2, and the prototype becomes
banked. machine_check also compiles the new file per machine so the
hooks keep CI syntax coverage.
CONFIG_UPLOAD_BUF at 2560 capped a configuration upload at about 2.2K
while the config sector holds 4K. Size the buffer as CONFIG_LEN plus
room for the multipart framing so the whole sector is usable.
config_take() wrote the payload without checking it against the sector:
safe before only because the buffer could not hold an oversized one.
Reject a payload that does not fit CONFIG_LEN, terminator included,
instead of writing past the erased sector.
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.
Saving the configuration works in Chrome and fails in Firefox, and the
difference is only how each browser splits the request. The handler
erased the config sector as soon as the request started and then parsed
the multipart body one TCP segment at a time, which requires every
boundary and every part header to fall inside a single segment. Firefox
splits inside a part header, so the parser lost its place and the
erased sector was left holding a truncated body or nothing at all. A
single-burst scripted post lost the whole body the same way.
The configuration is limited to two kilobytes, so the whole request body
now accumulates in xdata and is parsed only after the closing boundary
has arrived. The parts are walked in one pass, the part carrying a
filename is written to a freshly erased sector, and the client receives
a 200 instead of the previous silent close. No segmentation can confuse
this, since the parser only ever sees a complete body.
Locating the closing boundary first also bounds the walk over the parts,
since none can lie beyond it, so the length of the buffer is no longer
the bound and the test for the two trailing dashes is unnecessary.
The walk matches at offsets inside a buffer that is not terminated, so
neither existing helper fits: strcmp() goes on to compare the byte after
the match and is_word_x() demands a separator there. Add strstart() and
strstart_x() for that case, and use strlen_x() for the boundary length.
The firmware upload path still streams, since a megabyte cannot be
buffered, and is untouched.
The single-digit arm of the ingress parser guards with p - '1' > 9,
which no digit can satisfy: the largest, '9', gives 8. The digit that
needed rejecting is '0', which gives -1 and indexes one byte before
phys_to_log_port, so "ingress 0 t" reads out of bounds and applies the
ingress mode to whatever port number that byte happens to contain.
Ports are 1-based, so reject anything below '1'; values above '9' are
already excluded by the isnumber check before this.
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.
Adds a Connected devices column to the Port Configuration table, fed by
the shared walkL2() helper. A port with a single MAC behind it shows the
MAC directly; several are shown as a count with the full list in the
cell tooltip, since picking one of many to display would suggest it was
"the" device. The walk restarts 15 seconds after each completion and
starts 3 seconds after page load to stay clear of the initial status and
MTU requests. A walk that ends without ok keeps the previous cells,
since an incomplete table would blank ports that have devices behind
them. Translations for the three languages included.
The SWTGW218AS label covers more than one PCB. On boards with the
SWTG018AS-V2.1.0 silkscreen the SFP module-detect is GPIO38 (no LOS pin
wired) and the LED block is wired differently, including a bi-color SFP
LED (green up to 2.5G, blue at 10G) that the LED-set encoding cannot
express. With the existing MACHINE_SWTGW218AS definition these boards
never detect an SFP module, so an SFP-uplinked switch comes up with no
working uplink.
Add the variant as its own machine define named by the PCB marking,
leaving MACHINE_SWTGW218AS unchanged for boards that match its wiring.
The LED register values are taken from the stock firmware; the PIN_MUX_0
write routes the blue-LED pin to the LED controller, without which no
LED register value can drive it. PIN_MUX_1/2 stay untouched so SFP
detect and i2c remain GPIOs.
Typing or pasting a line of 128 characters or more into the CLI hangs the
editor and overruns cmd_buffer[128]: the length check did not reserve room
for the terminating NUL written on Enter, and on a full buffer the character
was retried via continue without advancing the serial-ring read pointer at
the bottom of the loop, so input processing never caught up again.
Cap the line at CMD_BUF_SIZE-1 and, when full, drop the character but fall
through to consume the ring byte instead of spinning on it. The functional
change is three lines; the rest of the diff is re-indentation of the
insert-and-echo block (git diff -w shows the minimal form).
Adds an optional per-board mac_flash_offset. When non-zero, RTLPlayground
reads a 6-byte MAC from that flash address and uses it if it is a valid
globally-administered unicast address; otherwise it falls back to the
generated locally-administered MAC. Offset 0 (default for every board)
preserves current behaviour.
Enable it for the SWTGW218AS, whose stock firmware keeps the factory MAC
in nvcfg at 0x1FC000. RTLPlayground images and web upgrades only touch
flash below that region, so the factory MAC survives flashing.
Send the configured hostname on discover and request so the DHCP server
can register the device (e.g. in local DNS). Skipped while the hostname
is still empty, i.e. before set_hostname_default() has run.
Honor SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, falling back to the HEAD commit date and then
to wall-clock when git is absent. Same-commit builds become
byte-identical (BUILD_DATE is baked into the image and covered by the
trailing CRC), which makes it possible to verify that a binary matches
a source tree.
SDCC rejects memset() on the generic &entry pointer (error 78,
incompatible types). The ipmc/l2mc table entries are __xdata; pass an
explicit (__xdata uint8_t *) so the call resolves.
