so this units are a dead end (waste of time). we will better be off with selling them as long as they are still worth a few bucks...
I started porting the device myself after I got one for use in Hamnet from a friend, and only now I noticed this thread. While researching SFP I came to the same conclusion, that DSA is needed indeed, but other than that, I got the switches working. with swconfig. Will take a look at your work, I'd like to have this device supported too.

Which one?
RB2011iL
RB2011UiAS
RB2011UiAS-RM, to be exact. With LCD.
Oh I have that and RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN and the RB2011iLS
I got most parts of the device working, save for SFP, which doesn't set link up - the transceiver itself probes, and USB port (on which USB root hub fails to probe), and obviously, the display. LEDs are handled by my earlier patch adding LED support to AR8327 swconfig driver. I think it's a little bit closer to upstreaming now.

Due to request on Github, here are my test images:

I'd be grateful for feedback especially regarding wireless, since my unit doesn't have it.

I'll try to take a look at this next week and aid in supporting the sfp and wireless.
This build is working fine now with switch fixed 1gb speed on ports correct.

I`ll do some vlans test on switch tab and see results.
Edit.
After some tests I got some wrong ports
Lan1 is showing port 05
Lan2 is showing port 01
Lan3 is showing port 02
Lan4 is showing port 03
Lan5 is showing port 04
Okay, I think then SFP port needs to go first in /etc/board.d/02_network, then. Because eth1 is WAN by default.
I haven't dug much into this yet, my focus is to get every device running first.

Hello Leo, I tried to compile your commit #757190e but faced some problems doing so. My make menuconfig did not provide the target "CONFIG_TARGET_ath79_mikrotik_DEVICE_mikrotik_routerboard-2011uias-2hnd", required to build. When I set
CONFIG_TARGET_ath79_mikrotik=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ath79_mikrotik_DEVICE_mikrotik_routerboard-2011uias-2hnd=y
CONFIG_TARGET_PROFILE="DEVICE_mikrotik_routerboard-2011uias-2hnd"
in my .config, compilation works, but there are no binaries created in
bin/targets/ath79/mikrotik
I have two rb2011 UiaS v3 devices and would like to try your patches on my device.
Could you give me an advice how to build ? Is it sensible to try them for UiaS anyway, as you made them for the 2HnD version ? As these devices use a " ESMT NAND 128MiB" flash, I never got them working with 19.07, as this chip was not detected by the related kernel correctly.
That's strange...
I'll post my config to the same directory as the images, this should help. I use "multiple devices" and "per-device rootfs" options for my builds, as it is done in upstream builds.
Edit: posted.
Hello Leo, thanks for that upload. Meanwhile I gave it a try and
- checked out owrt revision 757190eddc0305d4109c5d68d5d79c71cc6dbd59
- added your .config
- did the steps advised in "make help", that is ./scripts/feeds update -a and install -a
- run "make -j31 IGNORE_ERRORS='n m' -k"
As result, there are some packages that do not compile, but this was not a problem for the main target in my earlier builds.
After updating and installation of feeds, and also with make menuconfig I always get a lot of warnings for missing packages.. I tried to move over some missing ones from master, but with no success..
./scripts/feeds install -a

There are no images prepaired in "bin/targets/ath79/mikrotik/" folder.
As I'm unexperienced with the details of the owrt compilation processes, maybe somebody sees my failure and can give a cue ?
I suppose, it is related to the error compiling libxml2, as it may be mandatory for some image binaries, but I could not manage to make it compile in your revision..
Huh, I have no idea for what the extra switches were added to final make.
Did you try to download the packages first by calling make download?
I recall some woes with the package mirrors at the time I built it first.
On my setup (Debian 12 as build host) I did:
- clone the repo
make package/symlinks- insert the
.config make menuconfig(customize as you wish, otherwise justmake defconfigwould suffice)time make -j $(nproc)
And done.
While at that, you might want to rebase on top of current main, there is no particular reason to just check out this exact revision, this might fix your woes with packages too. Especially, that synchronizing packages will pull the latest branches, while core repo is fixed at state from 2 weeks ago. I'll post myfeeds.buildinfotoo, then. If you wish to keep the revision of core repo, then use that in place of feeds.conf.
By any chance, does anyone here know of a repair/service manual for RB2011? My unit has a ghost link issue on one of 100M ports, which sometimes works if I touch the pads of the connector or coupling transformer.Looks like some kind of crosstalk between TX and RX - but I wasn't able to suppress or pinpoint.
On port 10? This port is poe out port, atleast in my device which aparently was hit by lighthning or some weird things happened to it.
No, on port 6. But to discuss that, let's create another topic.
Hi @Leo-PL
Today, after a long time, I decided to test using it at home as the main router. After 1 day, I have a problem, the RB is crashing out of nowhere. I also tried to install Wireguard and I can't because of kernel 5. Maybe if I install the newest 6.6 it will work. Would it be possible to build on kernel 6.6? I tried to build and I had an error in Chilli.
I'll have to get back to the topic and my time is a scarce resource currently.

OK, I tried to build using the latest kernel, I had an error in a module responsible for Wi-Fi, then I'll try again without the module since I don't need it and see if it works.
