Rafał Miłecki	fcbd39689e	bcm53xx: enable & setup packet steering ... Packet steering can improve NAT masquarade performance on Northstar by 40-50%. It makes reaching 940-942 Mb/s possible on BCM4708 (and obviously BCM47094 too). Add scripts setting up the most optimal Northstar setup. Below are testing results for running iperf TCP traffic from LAN to WAN. They were used to pick up golden values. ┌──────────┬──────────┬────────────────────┬────────────────────┐ │ eth0 │ br-lan │ flow_offloading=0 │ flow_offloading=1 │ │ │ ├─────────┬──────────┼─────────┬──────────┤ │ rps_cpus │ rps_cpus │ BCM4708 │ BCM47094 │ BCM4708 │ BCM47094 │ ├──────────┼──────────┼─────────┼──────────┼─────────┼──────────┤ │ 0 │ 0 │ 387 │ 671 │ 707 │ 941 │ │ 0 │ 1 │ 343 │ 576 │ 705 │ 941 │ │ 0 │ 2 │ ✓ 574 │ ✓ 941 │ 704 │ 940 │ │ 1 │ 0 │ 320 │ 549 │ 561 │ 941 │ │ 1 │ 1 │ 327 │ 551 │ 553 │ 941 │ │ 1 │ 2 │ 523 │ ✓ 940 │ 559 │ 940 │ │ 2 │ 0 │ 383 │ 652 │ ✓ 940 │ 941 │ │ 2 │ 1 │ 448 │ 754 │ ✓ 942 │ 941 │ │ 2 │ 2 │ 404 │ 655 │ ✓ 941 │ 941 │ └──────────┴──────────┴─────────┴──────────┴─────────┴──────────┘ Above tests were performed with all eth0 interrupts handled by CPU0. Setting "echo 2 > /proc/irq/38/smp_affinity" was tested on BCM4708 but it didn't increased speeds (just required different steering): ┌──────────┬──────────┬───────────┐ │ eth0 │ br-lan │ flow_offl │ │ rx-0 │ rx-0 │ oading=0 │ │ rps_cpus │ rps_cpus │ BCM4708 │ ├──────────┼──────────┼───────────┤ │ 0 │ 0 │ 384 │ │ 0 │ 1 │ ✓ 574 │ │ 0 │ 2 │ 348 │ │ 1 │ 0 │ 383 │ │ 1 │ 1 │ 412 │ │ 1 │ 2 │ 448 │ │ 2 │ 0 │ 321 │ │ 2 │ 1 │ 520 │ │ 2 │ 2 │ 327 │ └──────────┴──────────┴───────────┘ Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>	2022-06-24 07:39:51 +02:00
Arınç ÜNAL	f4e219fd5e	packages: nvram: add NVRAM quirks for bcm53xx target ... Add NVRAM quirks script for the bcm53xx target. Split NVRAM quirks for the bcm47xx and bcm53xx targets. Move clear partialboot NVRAM quirk for Linksys EA9500 here. Add set wireless LED behaviour quirk for Asus RT-AC88U. Use boot() instead of start() as nvram commands are meant to be executed only once, at boot. Signed-off-by: Arınç ÜNAL <arinc.unal@arinc9.com>	2022-05-04 21:51:20 +02:00
Vivek Unune	209c5918b5	bcm53xx: enhance support for Linksys EA9500 ... 1. Add leds and configs 2. Add network configs 3. Add script to clear partial boot flag 4. Hack to use port 5 as cpu port as port 8 connected to eth2 wont pass any frames 5. Enable EA9500 image generation Hardware Info: - Processor - Broadcom BCM4709C0KFEBG dual-core @ 1.4 GHz - Switch - BCM53012 in BCM4709C0KFEBG & external BCM53125 - DDR3 RAM - 256 MB - Flash - 128 MB (Toshiba TC58BVG0S3HTA00) - 2.4GHz - BCM4366 4×4 2.4/5G single chip 802.11ac SoC - Power Amp - Skyworks SE2623L 2.4 GHz power amp (x4) - 5GHz x 2 - BCM4366 4×4 2.4/5G single chip 802.11ac SoC - Power Amp - PLX Technology PEX8603 3-lane, 3-port PCIe switch - Ports - 8 Ports, 1 WAN Ports - Antennas - 8 Antennas - Serial Port - @j6 [GND,TX,RX] (VCC NC) 115200 8n1 Flashing Instructions: 1. Connect a USB-TTL table to J6 on the router as well as a ethernet cable to a lan port and your PC. 2. Power-on the router. 3. Use putty or a serial port program to view the terminal. Hit Ctrl+C and interrupt the CFE terminal terminal. 4. Setup a TFTP server on your local machine at setup you local IP to 192.168.1.2 5. Start the TFTP Server 6. Run following commands at the CFE terminal flash -noheader 192.168.1.2:/openwrt.trx nflash0.trx flash -noheader 192.168.1.2:/openwrt.trx nflash0.trx2 nvram set bootpartition=0 && nvram set partialboots=0 && nvram commit 7. Reboot router to be presented by OpenWrt Note: Only installation method via serial cable is supported at the moment. The trx firmware has to be flashed to both the partitions using following commands from CFE prompt. This will cover US and Non-US variants.
