The lookup tables live in BANK1, so the routine switches the code bank to
reach them with movc and never switches it back. That is the contract the
__naked declaration already implied: same bank or common segment only.
The name now says it.
crc16_bank1 is the routine unchanged. crc16 becomes a __banked wrapper in
BANK1, so a caller from another bank has its own bank put back by
__sdcc_banked_ret. The two existing call sites take the direct path and
pay nothing.
isr_ext2() ends with PCON |= 1, putting the core to sleep from inside an
interrupt handler.
The DW8051 leaves idle when any enabled interrupt is activated, so the core
does not stay down for long. It naps until the next enabled interrupt request
turns up, with the 200 Hz system tick putting a ceiling of 5 ms on that, and
then carries on.
The sleep buys nothing either way, because the instruction after it is the
return. While it lasts the handler holds the priority latch, so everything at
its level or below waits, and that includes the tick, the console and the NIC
receive interrupt.
The handler still clears its flag, which is what it has to do. The bit numbers
beside the two masks were wrong: 0xef clears bit 4 and 0xdf clears bit 5,
not 7 and 6.

not 7 and 6, and the masks already say that without help.
Add a `mac <aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff>` console command (and a bare `mac` to show
the current address) that overrides the management MAC at runtime. The
address is validated (unicast, globally administered, non-zero OUI) and
the static L2 management entry is re-registered so the change applies
without a reboot. Because it is a normal command, a line in the startup
config persists it across boots: execute_config() runs it before the final
static L2 entry and the derived hostname are set up.
Also point the keepLink KP-9000-9XHML-X V3.1 machine definition at the
factory MAC area (0x1FC000, same location other machines use) so a valid
factory MAC is picked up at boot instead of falling back to a locally
administered address.
The MAC parsing/printing lives in parse_mac()/print_mac() helpers next to
parse_ip()/print_ip() so future commands can reuse them, and a memcmp()
helper joins the project's own memcpy()/memset() (no libc is linked).
isr_ext2() ends with PCON |= 1. On the DW8051 any enabled interrupt request
ends idle, so the handler sleeps until the next request arrives, the system
tick at the latest, and only then returns. Everything at the same priority
waits with it, and the instruction after the idle is RETI, so the sleep buys
nothing.
The handler still clears its flag, which is what it has to do. The other four
uses of PCON |= 1 are in task context and are left alone.
The EX0..EX3 handlers each emitted a single debug character through
write_char(), which busy-waits on the serial TX-empty flag that is set by
the serial interrupt. If one of these handlers runs while a byte is being
transmitted, it waits for a flag that the equal-or-lower-priority serial
interrupt cannot deliver, hanging the handler with the system tick stopped.
The characters were only ever debug markers, so drop them; the handlers now
just acknowledge the interrupt. No interrupt service routine should call the
blocking console path.
uip_arp_timer() was defined but never called, so ARP entries were only
refreshed on new learning and only removed under table pressure. A cached
entry for a peer whose MAC later changes (a gateway failover, a replaced
device) is then used until it is evicted, and traffic to anything reached
through it is sent to the old MAC and lost, while on-link traffic is
unaffected.
uIP expects the timer roughly every ten seconds; drive it from the
once-per-second housekeeping in idle().
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.
Three ways the answer could mislead the caller, all in the paths that
matter most when something is wrong.
The capture sat in write_char(), so anything printed through
print_string_no_syslog() escaped it. That is exactly the replies of the
syslog commands, which deliberately avoid the syslog path: "syslog on"
answered with the bare address and no sentence around it, "syslog off"
answered with nothing at all. Moving the capture one level down, into
write_char_no_syslog(), catches both paths and costs nothing, since
write_char() reaches it anyway.
On a parse error send_bad_request() rewrote the buffer from the start,
throwing away the very text that explains the error and replacing it
with the 400 HTML page. Keeping the captured text and restating only the
status keeps the parser's own message; "400 NO" is as long as "200 OK",
so the header does not have to be rebuilt.
An overlong listing was cut at the buffer end with nothing to show for
it, so a clipped answer read as a short one. It now ends in a marker,
and the reserved room is accounted for in the guard.
While here: a command that configures something prints nothing, and an
empty body reads the same as "nothing ran", so a successful silent
command now answers "OK".
No internal RAM and no xdata; 174 bytes of BANK1, which has 7356 left.
POST /cmd runs the command and answers with an empty 200, so a caller cannot
tell "done" from "nothing happened", and whatever the command prints only
reaches the serial console. Reading a register over the network needs a second
channel just to see the answer.
write_char() is the one funnel every console helper goes through, and it already
tees into the syslog buffer. A third sink, live only while the httpd runs a
command that arrived over the network, puts the same bytes into the response
behind the header. Serial and syslog keep getting their copy.
The capture stops at the end of the response buffer, so a long listing is
truncated rather than overrunning it.
BANK1 grows 39 bytes and the common area 52. One byte of xdata, BANK2 unchanged.
stp_enabled is a flag, so say bool. cmpBytes() returns a comparison
result, so say int8_t. The three busy waits this branch adds read the
status straight out of the SFR instead of copying four bytes to xdata
first.
tcpip_output() decides whether to splice in the 802.1Q tag, and that
decision also moves the frame: the header is shifted forward over its
padding, so a tagged frame starts at uip_buf with the q_frame layout,
while an untagged one keeps the padding and the nonq_frame layout.
nic_tx_packet() took that decision a second time, from management_vlan
alone. That agreed while the sender suppressed the management VLAN around
the transmission, but not since the tag is skipped per frame for a
CPU-tagged one: the descriptor then still sits behind the padding while
the transfer is set up for the shifted layout. The frame goes out four
bytes early and its length is read from the offset where tx_seq and
chksum_flags live, so a sixty byte BPDU is sent as around 1800 bytes of
whatever follows it. Looped back it is no longer a BPDU, the port hears
nothing, auto edge promotes it and the loop stays open.
Record the decision where it is taken and let the transfer follow it.
A variable rather than an argument because internal RAM is full once the
aggregation module shares the image: the overlay area ends at 0x7f, and
an argument or any temporary for the condition no longer fits.
The port was frozen at 514 in the call that opens the connection, so a
collector listening anywhere else was simply out of reach, and plenty do,
because 514 is privileged and containerised collectors usually get a high
port instead. Working around it meant putting a proxy in front, which then
rewrites the source address and hides which device actually sent the line.
Add `syslog port <n>`. The default stays 514, so nothing changes for an
existing configuration. Setting it tears the connection down and builds a
new one, the same dance the address already does, because uip_udp_new()
freezes the port into the connection.
The value is parsed here rather than through atoi_short(), which reports
"no digits" but not overflow: 65540 would quietly wrap to 4 and we would
open a connection to a port nobody asked for. Checking before each multiply
keeps it in 16-bit arithmetic. Zero then covers all three ways to be wrong -
no digits, past 65535, or an explicit "0", which is not a port either.
Whitelist the new command in config.js as well, next to `syslog ip`, or the
line is dropped without a word when the configuration is saved and the
setting quietly fails to survive a reboot. The dedup entry has to precede
the general `^syslog\b` one, otherwise it would deduplicate against
`syslog on`.
itoa_short() is new: itoa() only handles a byte and print_short() prints
hex, so there was no way to show a port as a decimal number. Kept separate
from itoa() rather than widening it, because every existing caller passes a
byte and would start paying for 16-bit divisions it does not need.
The scratch variables for the parser live in xdata. Locals there would take
internal RAM, and this image has none left: data ends at 0x77, the overlay
occupies 0x78-0x7f and the stack starts at 0x80. Measured: no module's DSEG
grew.
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.
sfp_read_reg() sat in rtlplayground.c, so it occupied the common 16 KB
window that every bank shares, even though nothing outside the SFP paths
calls it. That window is the tightest resource in the image:
SWTG024AS_V2_0 and SWTG024AS_A_2_0_1_5C_1SFP had 54 bytes left in it.
rtl837x_pins.c is already in BANK2 and already holds the I2C bus helpers
this function calls, so the transfer belongs there. The function moves
verbatim and becomes __banked; the prototype in rtl837x_common.h says so,
which is what keeps the callers in BANK1 and BANK2 honest.
No behaviour change. The common segment gains 200 bytes on every machine:
159 to 359 free on SWTGW218AS, 54 to 254 on the two variants above.
BANK1 +6 bytes, BANK2 +336. Built on sdcc 4.5.0.
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 bounded waits were silent: on timeout the code went straight back to
its caller, and handle_rx() then read a frame the DMA may never have
delivered, which is worse than waiting longer.
Each of the three transfers now says so on the console, the two RX ones
report failure to handle_rx(), and handle_rx() acknowledges the packet
and gives up on it rather than parsing whatever is in the buffer. The
guard variable moved to the top of its function, so the block that held
it and its indentation are gone.
The comment said the ASIC never completes a TX when the egress port is in a
non-forwarding MSTP state. The guard is worth keeping either way, since an
unbounded spin in the DMA wait takes the whole main loop down, but the
mechanism is more than the evidence supports and the DMA into the TX ring
has no business knowing the egress port at all.
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.
tcpip_output() splices the 802.1Q tag in right behind the source address,
which is exactly where the ASIC expects the RTL tag of a frame the CPU
addressed to a port itself. The tag then ends up behind the VLAN tag, the
ASIC does not find it, and the frame goes out flooded with the 0x8899
header still on it instead of being sent to the port that was asked for.
Whether a frame is CPU-tagged is a property of the frame, so decide it
here from the ether-type rather than having every sender of such a frame
clear management_vlan around its tcpip_output() call. stp_cnf_send() did
that, and no longer has to.
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.
Your console session shows the shape of this better than I could have. STP found
a loop, blocked the port, unblocked the other side of the pair, and then the
failsafe turned STP off. It had been disarmed by your first console command and
re-armed by the loop detection itself, so a mechanism that exists to protect
against a lockout ended up removing loop protection while a loop was physically
present. That is the part that did not make sense, and it wasn't the console.
Two changes, both narrowing.
Loop detection and root guard no longer arm the window. Those are the protocol
doing its job on evidence off the wire. Nothing an operator did needs undoing
there, and nobody is waiting to confirm anything.
Typing on the serial console no longer disarms it. The failsafe asks one
question, whether the operator can still reach management over the network, and
serial activity doesn't answer it. It proves somebody is standing at the box,
which is the one case where a lockout doesn't matter, and it took the safety net
away from a remote operator on behalf of someone not using it. HTTP activity
still confirms, because that is the path being measured, and the console in the
web interface counts for the same reason.
What is left arms on stp on, stp port N on and stp failsafe, each of them an
operator choosing something whose outcome the protocol then decides.
Gives back 61 bytes of BANK2, 31 of the common area and a byte of xdata.
The failsafe used to watch management traffic for as long as STP ran, so
three minutes of nobody looking at the web UI took the tree down on any
quiet network. That made a standing STP config impractical, which is the
problem raised in the review of the original PR.
Enabling STP arms a window of stp_failsafe_s seconds. One HTTP request
inside it confirms that management survived the new tree and disarms the
watchdog; a silent window disables STP and restores forwarding. Both
outcomes print to the console and the syslog.
The window re-arms on any later event that newly takes a port out of
forwarding: a port rejoining via "stp port N on", root guard firing, the
loop latch. Those were covered by the old always-on surveillance and a
disarmed window would have left them able to cut management off for good.
If management traffic keeps flowing past the new block, the next request
confirms straight away, which is the correct verdict, the block did not
cut it. The arming deliberately does not refresh an already armed window:
root guard can re-fire on every hello, and refreshing the countdown on
each one would keep a cut-off window from ever expiring. A stable network
with nothing newly blocked never re-arms, which is the reviewed-for
behaviour.
The request or console command that causes the arming never counts as its
own confirmation: mgmt_alive is cleared when a command arms, and the
console hook only disarms when the window predates the command. Without
that, enabling from the web UI or the console would confirm the window
before the new tree had any chance to cut management off.
A command on the serial console confirms like HTTP does. An operator at
the console has out-of-band access that no tree can cut, so the automatic
restore only takes STP away from someone equipped to deal with the
situation. The hook sits on the interactive console path only, identified
by cmd_available, so neither the config replay at boot nor HTTP commands
pass through it.
After a confirmation STP runs unsupervised until something new blocks.
Headless installs where nobody will confirm should set stp failsafe 0;
doc/stp.md says so.
Costs two bytes of XDATA, the armed flag and the console-path snapshot;
stp.rel and rtlplayground.rel keep their segment sizes.
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.

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.

handle_rx() dispatched to igmp_packet_handler() on the destination
address alone, so an ordinary IGMPv3 report off the wire reached the
handler and could write a table entry whether or not anyone had asked
for snooping. The STP branch right above it is gated on stpEnabled;
this brings the IGMP branch in line.
Snooping state lived only in the per-port registers, and the receive
path cannot afford to read one per packet, so the flag shadows it:
igmp_enable() sets it, igmp_setup() clears it, and igmp_setup() runs
from both the boot path and "igmp off".
While here, igmp off becomes an explicit subcommand instead of the
fall-through, and an unrecognised igmp subcommand prints the usage
line rather than silently turning snooping off.
Six bytes of BANK1 and one of xdata, no internal RAM.
sfp_read_reg() waited for the transfer to finish and then read the output
register whatever the outcome, so an address nothing acknowledged came back
as an ordinary byte and no caller could tell it apart from data. The vendor
SDK looks at bit 1 of the control register for exactly this, and we did
not.
A failure now sets sfp_i2c_fail and the read returns 0xff, which is already
the value sfp_apply_quirks() reads as either a failed transfer or a voltage
the spec does not allow, so that test starts being true when it should be.
The insertion path and the sfp command clear the flag first and say so
afterwards, rather than presenting the bytes as though they came from the
module.
What this deliberately does not do is act on the failure. Skipping
sds_config() when the rate read failed is the obvious next step, but a
module that raises the bit spuriously would then never be configured at
all, which is worse than what happens today, and I have no way to judge how
often the bit is right. That decision belongs with someone holding the
board.
It also leaves the other half of the rewrite alone, reading and writing up
to sixteen bytes per transaction. doc/sfp.md describes only the single byte
path and does not name a length field, and guessing at a register I cannot
test is how the last attempt at this function went wrong.
40 bytes of the common segment, 51 of BANK2 and 1 of xdata, nothing in
BANK1 or internal RAM. Built for SWTGW218AS and KP_9000_6XHML_X2 on sdcc
4.5.0. Not tested on hardware: shorting the clock line, as in #342, should
now print the failure line instead of a plausible looking byte.
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.
Move the MAC-derived default name out of main() into its own function and
call it after execute_config(), returning early when the config already
set a name - a configured switch then does no work for it at all.
The body deliberately has no local variables. Locals here - counters and
pointers alike - land in the 8051's internal-RAM overlay, and on an image
with LACP and STP both enabled that overlay is exhausted: a loop makes the
linker fail with "Could not get 8 consecutive bytes in internal RAM for
area OSEG". Moving the code into its own function does not help, since the
overlay is shared across the whole image, and hoisting the locals to xdata
does not either, because itohex() is inline and brings its own frame. This
only shows up in an integrated build; the branch on its own links fine.
