Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Prepare the TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.1.111
2. Rename the OpenWrt initramfs image to "0101A8C0.img" and place it to
the TFTP directory
3. Download the official upgrading firmware (ex: pn28080k_v30000.rom)
and place it to the TFTP directory
4. Boot M8eG and interrupt the U-Boot with Ctrl + C keys
5. Execute the following commands and boot with the OpenWrt initramfs
image
rtk network on
tftpboot 0x81000000
bootm
6. Backup mtdblock files to the computer by scp or anything and reboot
7. Interrupt the U-Boot and execute the following commands to re-create
filesystem in the flash
ffsmount c:/
ffsfmt c:/
this step takes a long time, about ~ 4 mins
8. Execute the following commands to put the official images to the
filesystem
updatert <official image>
example:
updatert pn28080k_v30000.rom
this step takes about ~ 40 secs
9. Set the environment variables of the U-Boot by the following commands
setenv loadaddr 0xb4e00000
setenv bootcmd bootm
saveenv
10: Download the OpenWrt initramfs image and boot with it
tftpboot 0x81000000 0101A8C0.img
bootm
11: On the initramfs image, download the sysupgrade image and perform
sysupgrade with it
sysupgrade <imagename>
12: Wait ~ 120 seconds to complete flashing
Note:
- "Switch-M8eG" is a model name, and "PN28080K" is a model number.
Switch-M8eG has an another (old) model number ("PN28080"), it's not a
Realtek based hardware.
- Switch-M8eG has a "POWER" LED (Green), but it's not connected to any
GPIO pin.
- The U-Boot checks the runtime images in the flash when booting and
fails to execute anything in "bootcmd" variable if the images are not
exsisting.
- A filesystem is formed in the flash (0x100000-0x1DFFFFF) on the stock
firmware and it includes the stock images, configuration files and
checksum files. It's unknown format, can't be managed on the OpenWrt.
To get the enough space for OpenWrt, move the filesystem to the head
of "fs_reserved" partition by execution of "ffsfmt" and "updatert".
- On the other devices in the same series of Switch-M8eG PN28080K, the
INT pin on the PCA9555 is not connected to anywhere.
Back to the stock firmware:
1. Delete "loadaddr" variable and set "bootcmd" to the original value
on U-Boot:
setenv loadaddr
setenv bootcmd 'bootm 0x81000000'
on OpenWrt:
fw_setenv loadaddr
fw_setenv bootcmd 'bootm 0x81000000'
2. Perform reset or reboot
on U-Boot:
reset
on OpenWrt:
reboot

Installation
------------
OEM upgrade method:
* Log in to OEM management web interface
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Management
* If "Active Image" has the first option selected, OpenWrt will need to be
flashed to the "Active" partition. If the second option is selected,
OpenWrt will need to be flashed to the "Backup" partition.
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Upload
* Upload the openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin
file by your preferred method to the previously determined partition.
When prompted, select to boot from the newly flashed image, and reboot
the switch.
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
U-Boot TFTP method:
* Configure your client with a static 192.168.1.x IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10).
* Set up a TFTP server on your client and make it serve the initramfs
image.
* Connect serial, power up the switch, interrupt U-boot by hitting the
space bar, and enable the network:
> rtk network on
> Since the GS1900-24 v1 is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the
OEM firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can
only be installed in the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the
DTS). To ensure we are set to boot from the first partition, issue the
following commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x81f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

I-O DATA BSH-G24MB is a 24 port gigabit switch, based on RTL8382M.
Specification:
- SoC : Realtek RTL8382M
- RAM : DDR2 128 MiB (Nanya NT5TU128M8HE-AC)
- Flash : SPI-NOR 16 MiB (Macronix MX25L12835FM2I-10G)
- Ethernet : 10/100/1000 Mbps x24
- port 1-8 : RTL8218B
- port 9-16 : RTL8218B (SoC)
- port 17-24 : RTL8218B
- LEDs/Keys : 2x, 1x
- UART : pin header on PCB
- JP2: 3.3V, TX, RX, GND from rear side
- 115200n8
- Power : 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz
- Plug : IEC 60320-C13
Flash instruction using sysupgrade image:
1. Boot BSH-G24MB normally
2. Connect BSH-G24MB to the DHCP enabled network
3. Find the device's IP address and open the WebUI and login
Note: by default, the device obtains IP address from DHCP server of
the network
4. Open firmware update page ("ファームウェア アップデート")
5. Rename the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to "bsh-g24mb_v100.image" and
select it
6. Press apply ("適用") button to perform update
7. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing
Note:
- BSH-G24MB has a power-related LED ("電源"), but it's not connected to
the GPIO of the SoC or RTL8231 and cannot be controlled. Instead of
it, use system status LED on other than running-state.
- "sys_loop" LED indicates system status and loop-detection status in
stock firmware.
- BSH-G24MB has 2x os-image partitions named as "RUNTIME"/"RUNTIME2" in
16 MiB SPI-NOR flash and the size of image per partition is only
6848 KiB. The secondary image is never used on stock firmware, so also
use it on OpenWrt to get more space.
