The ZyXEL GS1900-24HPv2 is a 24 port PoE switch with two SFP ports, similar to the other GS1900 switches.
Specifications
--------------
* Device: ZyXEL GS1900-24HPv2
* SoC: Realtek RTL8382M 500 MHz MIPS 4KEc

* LEDs: 1 PWR LED (green, not configurable)
1 SYS LED (green, configurable)
24 ethernet port link/activity LEDs (green, SoC controlled)
24 ethernet port PoE status LEDs
2 SFP status/activity LEDs (green, SoC controlled)

1 "RESET" button on front panel
* Power 120-240V AC C13
* UART: 1 serial header (J41) with populated standard pin connector on
the left edge of the PCB, angled towards the side.
The casing has a rectangular cutout on the side that provides
external access to these pins.
Pinout (front to back):
+ GND
+ TX
+ RX
+ VCC
Serial connection parameters for both devices: 115200 8N1.
Installation
------------
OEM upgrade method:
(Possible on master once https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20210624210408.19248-1-bjorn@mork.no/ is merged)
* 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-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-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 -n /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
it may be necessary to restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) on
the running initramfs image.
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 GS1900-24HPv2 is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the OEM
firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can only boot
from the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the DTS). To make sure we are
manipulating the first partition, issue the following commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x84f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
it may be necessary to restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) on
the running initramfs image.

Most (all?) of the realtek devices have two u-boot config partitions
with a different set of variables in each. The U-Boot shell provides
two sets of apps to manipulate these:
printenv- print environment variables
printsys- printsys - print system information variables
saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage
savesys - savesys - save system information variables to persistent storage
setenv - set environment variables
setsys - setsys - set system information variables
Add support for multiple ubootenv configuration types, allowing
more than one configuration file.
Section names are not suitable for naming the different
configurations since each file can be the result of multiple sections
in case of backup partitions.

The ZyXEL GS1900-8 is a 8 port switch without any PoE functionality or
SFP ports, but otherwise similar to the other GS1900 switches.
Specifications
--------------
* Device: ZyXEL GS1900-8 v1.2
* SoC: Realtek RTL8380M 500 MHz MIPS 4KEc
* Flash: Macronix MX25L12835F 16 MiB
* RAM: Nanya NT5TU128M8GE-AC 128 MiB DDR2 SDRAM
* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbit
* LEDs: 1 PWR LED (green, not configurable)
1 SYS LED (green, configurable)
8 ethernet port status LEDs (green, SoC controlled)
* Buttons: 1 on-off glide switch at the back (not configurable)
1 reset button at the right side, behind the air-vent
(not configurable)
1 reset button on front panel (configurable)
* Power 12V 1A barrel connector
* UART: 1 serial header (JP2) with populated standard pin connector on
the left side of the PCB, towards the back. Pins are labelled:
+ VCC (3.3V)
+ TX (really RX)
+ RX (really TX)
+ GND
the labelling is done from the usb2serial connector's point of
view, so RX/ TX are mixed up.
Serial connection parameters for both devices: 115200 8N1.
Installation

Instructions are identical to those for the GS1900-10HP and GS1900-8HP.
* 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 GS1900-10HP is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the
OEM firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can
only boot off the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the DTS). To
make sure we are manipulating the first partition, issue the following
commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x84f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-8-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-8-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

This adds the necessary nuts and bolts for the uboot settings for both the ZyXEL GS1900-8HP v1 and v2.
