Working Realtek SoC RTL8196E 97D 97F in last master

Datasheet don't say much... The router must have at least 8M of flash and 64M of Ram... I don't know about the wireless too... 4 antennas in 2.4? Gigabit switch is another problem... I use an RTL8367b...

Got it. Thanks man, I'm having a lot of troubles w/ this router =/

Hi maybe you can help with this router?
Adding OpenWrt support for Netis N2 (RTL8197f-v5 +8812fr +rtl8367b) wifi and switch doesn't work(

@leks, the Realtek port is not complete yet... I did not finished the network switch yet, and the 2.4 wireless driver I have not even started... For 5Ghz, you can try the open RTL88 driver in openwrt, but this router have a 8812F chip (I only tested in 8812A/B, 8812 and 8822 can use the same driver, but F is not tested yet) ...

Realtek have open sourced an old openwrt implementation. Maybe the old network driver can be ported to the new kernel...

Don't know if this would provide any help, but 8devices has support for Realtek RTL8197FS in their OpenWrt branch available by 'git clone --branch openwrt-18.06-rtkmipsel-3.18 https://github.com/8devices/openwrt-8devices.git komikan'

Yes, that's right... Realtek released the code for kernel 3.10/3.18. 8Devices ported kernel 3.18 to Openwrt 18. We ported the SoC for kernel 4.14 forward (5.4/5.10) ... The problem is with drivers. This repository have the drivers for kernel 3.18 (rtl819x for switch and rtl8192cd for wireless). We need to port that to newer kernels... The best would be to create an open driver for them, so we could integrate in openwrt....

maybe you have datasheat to rtl8197fs please share it to me

I can't find the datasheat for 8197F.. I'm also interested in this document :slight_smile: ...
The development was done based on the rtk_openwrt that Realtek release yeas ago...

Hi!
I built RTL8197FS firmware from original Realtek Openwrt SDK.
It works in my access points IP-COM W36AP and Tenda W12. These AP are identical.
AP has RTL8197FS, RTL8812BRH and RTL8363NB.
I built the firmware with original Realtek config for RTL8197FS and it works. But it works only with bootloader from this SDK.
SDK is old, but perhaps it is interesting to see the bootlog:

Holy cow! I've been hacking around RTL8196C almost a decade ago, but unfortunately had to abandon the effort due to the lack of time (and it being too much effort). Great job bringing those back from the dead and even with DTS. I wonder if RTL8196C would also fit in nicely to this port (and if I still have the hardware somewhere in my attic).

I returned to trying to build a firmware for my RTL8197FS device from @gaspare repository.
But PCIE doesn't work.
It is my addition to RTL8197F.dtsi

refclk: refclk {
		/* 25Mhz default clock */
		#clock-cells = <0>;
		compatible = "fixed-clock";
		clock-frequency = <25000000>;
	};
pcie0: pcie-controller@18b00000 {
		compatible = "realtek,rtl8196b-pci";
		#address-cells = <3>;
		#size-cells = <2>;
		bus-range = <0 255>;
		reg = 	<0x18b00000 0x1000>,  /* RC CFG */
				<0x18b01000 0x1000>,  /* RC CFG EXT */
				<0x18b10000 0x1000>;  /* DEV CFG0 (EP) */
		reg-names = "rc_cfg_base", "rc_ext_base", "dev_cfg0_base";
		ranges = 	<0x02000000 0 0x00000000 0x19000000 0 0x01000000	/* pci memory */
					 0x01000000 0 0x00000000 0x18c00000 0 0x00200000>;	/* io space */
		interrupt-parent = <&cpuintc>;
		interrupts = <5>;
		clocks = <&refclk>;

		status = "disabled";
	};

In DTS file for my device I wrote:

&pcie0 {
	status = "okay";
};

But at starting OPENWRT gives me an error:

[    0.212595] realtek-pci 18b00000.pcie-controller: invalid resource
[    0.232675] realtek-pci: probe of 18b00000.pcie-controller failed with error -22

@gaspare, is your pci-realtek driver compatible with RTL8197F?

If it is compatible perhaps I should change something in dtsi file?

Sorry... The pci driver was tested only on 96D/E ... 97F uses the 96F pci instructions...
I'm not with the board right now to test it, but I can do in the weekend...

@gaspare, thank you! I will wait :slight_smile:

I want to help community i sent datasheet to some people.

i not see anythings

pls new link hope not expire, sorry for the countermeasure

I made Google Drive link for share that datasheet permanently!

Thank you for sharing! @zhinpao !

Thanks a lot for for this, I am a new to openWRT, is there a way that we can run the image created by the above in komikan board( from 8devices) which is also based on RTL8197F, Because I understood the openWRT stack which 8 devices provided is searching for linux.bin which is having a realtek header( embedded in the kernel image as header)

Hi,

I am working on 8devices komikan openwrt(18.06) and kernel 3.18, If you have already ported the openwrt to kernel 5.4 can you please share it.

thank you,

@gaspare
I noticed there is no support for RTL8198C in new kernel , I think it is looks like RTL8197F , I just wondering why it is missed in the great source code you developed.
thanks
