Hi!
I built an image based on robimarko's tree with the testing kernel (5.15) and flashed it onto my device. Unfortunately, it does not boot properly anymore. I'm pretty sure it's my .config that makes a broken image so I was wondering if anyone running on ribimarko's tree with kernel 5.15 could share their .config so I can compare with what I have? @noodles or @robimarko maybe?
Robimarko pointed out earlier in the thread his 5.15 branch wasn't really 'production' ready. I don't now about noodles', but I think most people are running a 5.10 build based off adron's GitHub code.
Another question: has anybody successfully used failsafe on the RB5009UG? I locked myself out messing with fw4 (well, just copying old UCI firewall rules seemed to suffice ) and it doesn't seem like hitting the reset button is doing much. Device is not returning to default OpenWrt settings it seems (no serial to keep an eye either).
I'm running with 5.16 and Debian on top, but if it's helpful my config is at https://the.earth.li/~noodles/rb5009-5.16-config. Only extra patch I'm using on top of mainline is Rob's net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add Amethyst specific SMI GPIO function. Not using 2.5G copper or the SFP+ port - I expect 2.5G copper is still broken (but works fine at 1G).
I was a bit confused at first, but it turns out these are already in adron's 5.10 tree (and probably in robimarko's as well, since he's the author). Then again, I suppose a lot more has been merged into 5.15 or 5.16 in the meantime, so you need less patches as well, running on 5.16.
Just sharing this here so people who'd think 'Hmm let me check if that code is already in the 5.10 tree' won't have to - I already did it for you and it's there .
QCA8081 should be fully supported with the backported patches in any publicly shared tree here. The issue with 2,5 Gb linking but being unresponsive is likely about how the Marvell switch talks to the QCA8081 PHY.
So no code whatsoever at this point will give you 2,5 GbE. No idea about the SFP+, I only tested that at 10 Gb.
Following this with a lot of interest as I am supposed to get 10gbit fiber soonish and the hardware would fit the existing infrastructure almost perfectly. I am wondering though, what routing (incl. NAT) speed does it realistically get with a 10gbit SFP+ module (given the use cases we have I can do without SQM)?
What is still missing to get some PR against OpenWrt Repository with installation steps and so on? I urgently need something better than the Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4 with its freezing switch.
A way to install without external binaries I believe? And someone to take a look at the 2.5G PHY . That being said, once you tackle installation the patch set you need applies cleanly on top of 22.03 HEAD still. So it's not too difficult to maintain out of tree for now.
(BTW I thought Octeon issues were fixed for 5.10?)
@PolynomialDivision I have added the installation instructions to the wiki page, I've tested the steps I outlined in post #573. Works as expected. I've also pastebinned the patch set one can use to roll his own images and added that to the page.
