Status update: I bought a probe so I can dump the flash, unfortunately I got the wrong size 
so I've re-ordered the correct size.
I re-sent patches 4-10 in v4 of the patchset https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mips/list/?series=958536
Unfortunately I missed a review tag so I'll probably need to re-re-send it again. Hopefully I'll get some attention on the other parts of the code beyond just the intc.
Just sent patchset v5 https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mips/list/?series=960479 (note the first 3 patches were accepted, so 1/7 means 4/10) , new status:
| Patch | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Add EcoNet to vendor list | Applied  |
| 2 | Interrupt controller bindings | Applied |
| 3 | Interrupt controller code | Applied |
| 4 | Timer bindings | Reviewer signoff |
| 5 | Timer | Received and addressed notes |
| 6 | EcoNet SoC binding | Reviewer signoff |
| 7 | Main platform | Notes addressed, no signoff |
| 8 | Add SmartFiber to vendor list | Reviewer signoff |
| 9 | DTS files for platform | No notes |
| 10 | MAINTAINERS (add myself) | Reviewer signoff |
I think 4 and 5 (now renumbered 1 and 2) will be accepted reasonably soon. 7 and 9 are the big ones that remain. My gut instinct is that after 4 and 5 land, the mips maintainers will take them with minimal notes.
Just a little heads up as the embedded MT7530 switch might be faulty according to this:
Update on progress: All of the patches have now been accepted to the Linux kernel, so in an up-and-coming release, we should have support for EcoNet EN751221 in mainline linux.
I've been swamped with a bunch of other things, so I have not gotten a chance to dump the storage from an EN751627 yet, but I think right now the main priority should be going back to OpenWRT with a new patchset since it's now present in mainline Linux so they should have no reason not to accept it.
Update: I have re-submitted the PR for inclusion in OpenWRT: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/19021
And sent a message to the mailing list about it: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2025-June/044052.html
I'm going to update https://econet-linux.pkt.wiki/ now to indicate the status of progress, especially since we now "have something".
Thanks a ton for your work!
ps: your contribution made the headlines https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.16-MIPS
Hi, I am trying to test the new econet platform initial support with the pull request from Caleb on the Sercomm FG824CD and I need some help.
After dissambling and connecting to the right UART port(there are two, one for the wifi SoC and the econet main SoC), Is the serial console input disabled? And the output is very limited. If I can ask @tower, How did you get to play with the keenetic U-Boot? Directly programming the SPI? I did not see the pads clearly at first glance.
Any advise or help would be really apreciated.
Thank you all for this long journey!

I've yet to see a router with its debug pins disabled.
So this is the second one I fight against, a Xiaomi AX6 which self-bricked while updating stocks firmwares and the UART input was disabled by the boot loader (U-boot) using variables stored in the U-boot env partition. I also saw cases where you have to make some electrical work.
I will recheck but I think this bootloader is disabling a lot. And you can see the full log I posted. It's all I didn't cut nothing.
Thanks for the quick response.
Hello, I wanted to let you know I’ve just gotten USB working on a current OpenWRT for the first time.
I’m going to make a branch with USB but I’m not going to update the pull req because I want to keep it as simple as possible.
Anyway, this will be nice because now we can plug in a USB eth device and load kernels much faster.
Thanks for your hard work, man. You’re singlehandedly holding this project together. Wish I could contribute some too but I’m a bit swamped with work IRL.
OpenWRT Pull Request 19021 has just been merged.
EcoNet support is now in OpenWRT !!!!!
Congrats! Happy to see the fruits of your labor finally made it in!
Congrats man. Hero! This is a remarkable milestone which will allow multiple devices to finally make their way to OpenWrt in the future.
EcoNet USB support PR opened with OpenWRT:
Mail thread started to discuss next step of Root FS on SD-Card: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2025-September/044233.html
After that, PCI !
Congrats!
I will say that, i have been watching this thread for quite some time now since and after seeing all the progress, have inspired me to try to get some initial support for realtek rtl9607c soc which is also a GPON related chip so i appreciate your hard work on econet 
Hopefully with that even more ONTs could have a chance to get OpenWrt support!
Update: USB has been merged 
And I have just opened a draft pull request to begin conversation about adding the capability to use a USB stick or SD-Card as the root FS. If this is merged, this will make any OpenWRT device with a USB port able to easily use a USB stick or SSD as a persistent disk, making it more like a server than a router. Code review is most welcome.
Update: I have a new version of the EN751221 builds which now has USB support, I included kmods for usb-mass-storage (memory sticks) and r8152 which is a popular USB Ethernet dongle. Currently it is registering eth0 as LAN and so you have to manually remove it from br-lan and get an IP address, but it does work. I’ll be getting eth0 to work as WAN soon™
Anyway, here are the binaries:
