IPQ5018(3.5) with QCA8337N ethernet switch support

Hi all
I am getting only one eth1 interface for QCA8337N switch, though I pulled out three hardware LAN ports from the chip. Please help me how can I enable remaining eth2, eth3, eth4 ethernet interfaces?

You need to change DTS if you do your own HW mods and rebuild kernel and then supply your own kmod repo.

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.

Hi All,
How to add qca8337N chipset to IPQ5018 boot loader?

Still don't get it, do you ?

Your OS is a black box to us, we know nothing about it.
Ask whoever you got it from, not us.
