Flashing should work as the partition layout is identical. What you need to try out is whether the network system will come up without finding the SFP ports. In that case you need to edit the .dts of the -10 and remove the references to ports 24/26 (the SFP ones) and recompile.

I'd assume it works fine, to the point that the sfp ports will show up as interfaces :wink: Should have its own DTS for this reason.

Wrt flashing: OpenWrt with a writable rootfs must boot from the RUNTIME1 partition. So I recommend keeping a stock firmware in RUNTIME2. This allows easy switching between the two installations.

You can't yet flash OpenWrt directly from the stock web UI. I have a patch here: https://github.com/bmork/openwrt/commit/8eb01d82272a1a0a2af07fe4ea75d60a129051b9

This makes the initramfs flashable from stock web UI. The stock flash tool will cut the image according to the u-image header, so any image with a rootfs outside the u-image will not work. But this is good enough to install OpenWrt in two steps: flash initframfs from stock first, and then sysupgrade after booting the initramfs image.

I will submit that patch at some point. But it depends on a modified magic, which again depends on changes to the mtdsplitter. So I am waiting to see if my proposed changes for that goes in. It would allow us to keep the special magic in DTS and image/Makefile only.

But since you have console it is easier to ram boot the initramfs and sysupgrade from there anyway. Then you don't have to worry about modifying magic. U-Boot will not verify it. This is different from e.g. the Netgear switches.

Repeating instructions from further up the thread:

rtk network on
tftpboot 0x84f00000 openwrt-snapshot-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-10hp-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm
(wait for it to boot and transfer sysupgrade image)
sysupgrade -v openwrt-snapshot-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-10hp-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

You should obviously verify that the system works properly after ram booting. And you might want to take the opportuity to back up the flash before writing anything.

I also just auctioned one of these buggers for 20 bucks. However, what you have seems to be a version 2 device which shares the PCB with the GS1900-10HP. While my version 1 device has a different GS1900-8HP distinct PCB. Does your label say anything about being a version 2 device? Anyway, I will also join once I receive mine hopefully early next week.

@sumo,

On the bottom of the switch on product label: Rev B1

I have console access, so I want to do it with tftp.

I get from Borromini the image so then I will try to install it. I will report the results later

wasn't this about the builders failing to build current OpenWrt snapshots for the realtek target? The log is here: https://buildbot.openwrt.org/master/images/builders/realtek%2Fgeneric/builds/27/steps/images/logs/stdio

This is caused by rtl83xx-phy using symbols from the ethernet driver. Which won't work when the rtl83xx-phy is built as a module. Which it will be because it is hidden behind the existing CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY. Which is defined by KernelPackage/phy-realtek in package/kernel/linux/modules/netdevices.mk

The proper fix is obviously to clean up the symbol sharing between the phy and the ethernet drivers. This will be (or is?) done as part of the upstreaming effort.

A quickfix for the current OpenWrt would be to simply drop target/linux/realtek/patches-5.4/705-add-rtl-phy.patch

229

No, I did mention that earlier, but it's not related (running my own builds). I tried a patch in blogic's staging tree. Still investigating.

@bmork Concerning your patch to upgrade from the OEM firmware:

It's not applying to the OpenWrt master tree because of the UIMAGE_MAGIC := 0x83800000 line not being there (anymore?). Is this needed or can I try your patch on the current OpenWrt master without the UIMAGE_MAGIC number?

230

The UIMAGE_MAGIC is needed for stock UI flashing. But as noted: if you change that, then you also have to fix the mtdsplitter! Or you won't have a rootfs.

This has never been in OpenWrt. You'll see it in my branch, but that's the only place.

@anon13997276 I've switched back and forth between builds with and without commit 4af1445ab671b06d7f3b25e4e0b6536857099631 from blogic's Realtek staging tree today. Configuration was kept.

At first I thought the GS1900-10HP had rebooted into the OEM firmware, but serial showed it was booting into OpenWrt just fine. The first weird thing is I cannot ping the switch, or SSH into it. As weird as it sounds, however, it seemed like traffic still passed through it. It sits right in between my router and access point; if it cut out completely I wouldn't have had any network at all I think.

Plugging in or unplugging cables shows the corresponding link coming up or going down, so nothing wrong there it seems (but still unable to ping the other end of the link or SSH in). I'm not seeing any errors in dmesg.

Dmesg looks okay:

VLANs look OK, still like before:

switch            1

With the commit reverted, behaviour is back to normal, and it just works like before. Dmesg on a build without the commit is below. I've checked the VLAN layout, it's still all VLAN ID 1.

Thanks. I'll hold off on that for now, serial is a bit clumsy in comparison but it still works.

233

Don't think I've tested exactly that code. But I do not that there is a weird unsyncronized change of

-+#ifdef CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83XX
++#ifdef CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL838X

in the target/linux/realtek/patches-5.4/701-net-dsa-add-rtl838x-support-for-tag-trailer.patch

There is no matching change in the config. So this will make the DSA tagging fail, and I believe that would explain the symptoms you see.

Cool, thanks. I just checked blogic's tree again, not seeing any other realtek patches I might have missed and should have added.

Grepping present master for CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83 returns this:

$ git grep CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL8
target/linux/realtek/config-5.4:CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83XX=y
target/linux/realtek/files-5.4/drivers/net/dsa/rtl83xx/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83XX)   += common.o dsa.o \
target/linux/realtek/patches-5.4/701-net-dsa-add-rtl838x-support-for-tag-trailer.patch:+#ifdef CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83XX
target/linux/realtek/patches-5.4/701-net-dsa-add-rtl838x-support-for-tag-trailer.patch:+#endif /* CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83XX */
target/linux/realtek/patches-5.4/701-net-dsa-add-rtl838x-support-for-tag-trailer.patch:+#ifdef CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL83XX

I suppose the RTL83XX stuff is shared between 8380, 8390 etc., and RTL838X is for a more specific subset? target/linux/realtek/files-5.4/drivers/net/dsa/rtl83xx/Makefile seems to be both for 838X and 839X judging from the object files in it. So not sure whether the Makefile should be changed to CONFIG_NET_DSA_RTL838X as well.

@anon13997276 Could you comment?

Well I have the image running on my zyxel GS1900-8HP.

Running the first bootm, before I could do an sysupgrade, I got some vlan 100 and the wan vlan 1, and there was no port untagged at the lan side. I als noticed the the ip adress was not 192.168.1.1 anymore but 10.0.0.254.

After changing a LAN port into untagged en change the ip address, I restarted the network service , and I could scp de sysugrade image to the switch. After the sysupgrade I also changed it again , and remove lan 9 en lan 10 in the network config file.

No I go to try to add some port to my AP's en my edgerouter x , to see of the vlan trunking is working and do some performance tests.

236

Nothing unexpected about that - I told you in our private conversation my image comes up with 10.0.0.254 as default IP.

@kroon040 I owe you an apology, I did point out the firmware uses 10.0.0.254 but the sample config I shared with you in another post was set to 192.168.1.1. My apologies for the confusion.

Hi,

I had to find in this post the commands for everything :

ubus -v call poe port '{"enable":true,"port":1}'
ubus -v call poe info
bridge vlan
brctl show

Trunks ports working fine and all vlan tags went well. 3 vlans trunk tested to different ip subnets on an aruba accesspoint and to an edgerouter-x.

root@OpenWrt:~# bridge vlan
port              vlan-id  
lan1              10
                  90
                  99 PVID Egress Untagged
lan2              10
                  90
                  99 PVID Egress Untagged
lan3              10 PVID Egress Untagged
lan4              10 PVID Egress Untagged
lan5              10 PVID Egress Untagged
lan6              10 PVID Egress Untagged
lan7              10 PVID Egress Untagged
lan8              99 PVID Egress Untagged
switch            10
                  90
                  99

performance looking also very good, this test also to another switch where the device is connected

POE is also working

root@OpenWrt:~# ubus -v call poe info
{
	"ports": [
		"4W",
		"off",
		"off",
		"off",
		"off",
		"off",
		"off",
		"off"
	],
	"power_budget": "65W",
	"power_consumption": "4W"
}

The only thing that is missing are vlan tagging and poe missing in the lua web interface. Also setting poe on the port, after reboot this is gone, but this should be something that should be done in a config file?

Yes, just enable it on the ports you want. And upate the budget as well, when you're at it. It's supposed to be 77W on this switch, I believe. I have

root@gs1900-10hp:~# cat /etc/config/poe 
config poe poe
        option budget   77
        option port1    1
        option port2    1
        option port3    1
        option port4    1
        option port5    1
        option port6    1
        option port7    1
        option port8    1

EDIT: and as this shows: Enabling PoE on every port should not hurt. It's negotiated anyway. So instead of "off" you'll see "enabled" on the other ports:

root@gs1900-10hp:~# ubus call poe info
{
        "ports": [
                "enabled",
                "enabled",
                "enabled",
                "enabled",
                "enabled",
                "enabled",
                "3.8W",
                "3.8W"
        ],
        "power_budget": "77W",
        "power_consumption": "7.7W"
}

Thnx works well

root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call poe info
{
	"ports": [
		"5.8W",
		"5.4W",
		"5.9W",
		"enabled",
		"enabled",

		"enabled"
	],
	"power_budget": "77W",
	"power_consumption": "17W"
}

I replaced it with my HPE aruba 2530-8 POE+ swtich and everythhing is looking good. I take a look in that switch of this also has an RTL838x chipset

240

Is there aslo coming in the luci interface something like this for the RLL838x swtich? (this is screenshot from my edgerouter-x)

DSA has no LuCI support yet AFAIK. But it's planned, since next stable release will have DSA by default for some targets.

Realtek target won't be in the next release, target is probably too fresh and too much in flux for that.

242

@kroon040 Anything in the OEM boot logs that identifies your model as a B1? There's an older A1 model with a different PCB (bmork pointed that out to me).

I got a GS1900-8HP second hand as well but unsure yet what revision it is.
