Thank you @tomtom,
I still cannot find what I am looking for: The ipq40xx datasheets there are QSDK / OpenWrt user manuals compared to the older (ex. QCA9558) datasheets with hardware descriptions & register values.
I've got an EA8300 and am working on getting the DSA-style initial config right.
TL;DR:
Without LuCI running, most of the wiki pages and video help I've found haven't been very helpful.
If someone with one of these DSA-enabled devices can share /etc/config/network for the "expected structure", I'd appreciate it.
(Looks like my serial board coincidentally went belly up, so not a bug rush)
I'm apparently missing something (with the auto-generated config) as I'm not seeing evidence of the 4+1 ports in
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# bridge v
port vlan-id
I'm not sure if I should be seeing the "internal" interface(s) to the CPU that used to be known as eth0 and eth1. At least as I vaguely recall DSA, I would think I'd need to associate them with a bridge and VLAN (even if only internal to the bridge).
All the "instructions" I've found so far seem to be focused on how to set things up with LuCI, which is still a step or two away.
So I'm now going to be Edit: getting proper MAC addresses, checking out all the ways I broke the current "avoid VLANs 1 & 2" config, as well as issues with trunking and ARP failing with the "other" MAC answering.
For anyone following later:
