Netgear GS310TP v1 "Software file update through HTTPS did not complete"

workpush · January 17, 2023, 2:27am

Hello,
I'm trying to install openwrt on my Netgear GS310TP v1 over the GUI. I could not find much information about the GS310TP, so I orientated on the very similiar GS308T. There it is said: "Flash initramfs-kernel image to slot "Image 1" and reboot, then use sysupgrade to install a sysupgrade image permanently."

So I booted the original firmware from image1 (Stock Firmware 1.0.5.7) and then trying to upload the openwrt image to image1, but it always gives me:
"Software file update through HTTPS did not complete":

Anyone also has a GS310TP an can help me or has an idea what is going wrong?

Thank you!

The Netgear GS308T v1 is an 8 port gigabit switch. The GS310TP v1 is an 8 port …POE+ gigabit switch with 2 SFP Ports (currently untested). The GS308T v1 and GS310TP v1 are quite similar to the Netgear GS1xx devices already supported. Theses two devices use the same Netgear firmware and are very similar to there corresponding GS1xx devices. For this reason they share a large portion of the device tree with the GS108T and GS110TP with exception of the uimage magic and model and compatible values. All of the above feature a dual firmware layout, referred to as Image0 and Image1 in the Netgear firmware. In order to manipulate the PoE+ on the GS310TP v1 , one needs the rtl83xx-poe package Specifications (GS308T) ---------------------- * RTL8380M SoC, 1 MIPS 4KEc core @ 500MHz * 128MB DDR3-1600 DRAM (Winbond W631GG8MB-12) * 32MB 3v NOR SPI Flash (Winbond W25Q256JVFQ) * RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button * 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, internal PHY (RTL8218B) * UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1 * Power is supplied via a 12V 1A barrel connector Specifications (GS310TP) ---------------------- * RTL8380M SoC, 1 MIPS 4KEc core @ 500MHz * Nuvoton M0516LDN for controlling PoE * 128MB DDR3-1600 DRAM (Winbond W631GG8MB-12) * 32MB 3v NOR SPI Flash (Winbond W25Q256JVFQ) * RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button * 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, 2 x Gigabit SFP ports, internal PHY (RTL8218B) * UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1 * Power is supplied via a 54V 1.25A barrel connector Both devices have UART pinout ----------- J1 | [o]ooo ^ ||`------ GND | |`------- RX [TX out of the serial adapter] | `-------- TX [RX into the serial adapter] `---------- Vcc (3V3) [the square pin] The through holes are filled with PB-free solder which melts at 375C. They can also be drilled using a 0.9mm bit. Installation ------------ Instructions are identical to those for the similar Negear devices and apply both to the GS308T v1 and GS310TP v1 as well. ------------------- Boot initramfs image from U-Boot -------------------------------- 1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt 2. Init network with `rtk network on` command 3. Load image with `tftpboot 0x8f000000 openwrt-realtek-generic-netgear_gs308t-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin` command 4. Boot the image with `bootm` command The switch defaults to IP 192.168.1.1 and tries to fetch the image via TFTP from 192.168.1.111. Updating the installed firmware ------------------------------- The OpenWRT ramdisk image can be flashed directly from the Netgear UI. The Image0 slot should be used in order to enable sysupgrade. As with similar switches, changing the active boot partition can be accomplished in U-Boot as follows: 1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt 2. Run `setsys bootpartition {0|1}` to select the boot partition 3. Run `savesys` followed by `boota` to proceed with the boot process Signed-off-by: Raylynn Knight <rayknight@me.com>

Thank you for your fast reply! Did not found that Github commit! Does that mean I have to connect via UART and then load the image over tftp?

frollic · January 17, 2023, 2:34am

It would appears so, yes.

Then thank you very much!

Hi
@workpush

whats the progress? success?

have you already opened the case?

some pictures from the pcb to start build a wiki page and document the device and the install instructions?

br

is there a convenient way to activate PoE per Port via Luci?

ping @RaylynnKnight

switch with 2 SFP Ports (currently untested).

do you probably have an update on the SFP Slots for the GS310TP?

RaylynnKnight · February 2, 2023, 5:24am

The GS310TP uses the same GPIO for multiple purposes and I have no idea how to support that. GPIO EXT_36 is used for the scl-gpio for both SFP ports. And GPIO EXT_28 is used for both the
sda-gpio for i2c0 and as the tx-disable-gpio for both ports. So someone will need to determine how to multiplex the GPIO before this can be supported.

Also unlike most Netgear devices that run Linux the source for this device is not listed on the NETGEAR Open Source Code for Programmers (GPL) page.
