Aerohive XR200 atheros drivers

For Developers
1

Hi!
I’m trying to get openwrt to work on Aerohive XR200P.
It’s a 5 port router without wifi, cpu is freescale P1011E.
I understood that it’s hardware is similar to Aerohive AP330, so I’ve flashed it using image for AP330. It boots up, but network interfaces are not quite working. From 5 ports there’s responce only on physical ports 2 and 3, WAN porn is not working. It won’t obtain ip from hdcp, and I couldn’t get online in any way.
My wild guess is that it’s missing drivers, because in uboot all 5 ports are working, and once openwrt is started some ports are not responding.
I think that instead of wireless hardware like in AP330, it has Atheros AR8327/8328 - I can see initialisation during uboot start. Preformatted text

How do I add drivers and activate switch?

I have installed openwrt 21.02.5.

lspci needs to be installed, it's not part of the standard image.

What would the easiest way to install it if I can’t connect that box to the internet?

6

From usb, or build the packages you want into your image with imagebuilder

Didn't you say two ports were working?

They do work with laptop, but they won’t obtain ip by dhcp when I’m connecting it to router. I’ve tried to use them as WAN port on the day 1.

I’ll try USB.

For anyone stumbling upon this topic when searching for OpenWRT support for the Aerohive XR200P, I can confirm the device is fully supported by the BR200-WP image. The internals appear to be exactly the same except for the pci wifi module which is absent in the XR200P.
