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

------------
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

- 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.

The ZyXEL XGS1250-12 Switch is a 11 + 1 port multi-GBit switch with
8 x 1000BaseT, 3 x 1000/2500/5000/10000BaseT Ethernet ports and
1 SFP+ module slot.
Hardware:
- RTL9302B SoC
- Macronix MX25L12833F (16MB flash)
- Nanja NT5CC64M16GP-1 (128MB DDR3 SDRAM)
- RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the port LEDs
- RTL8218D 8x Gigabit PHY
- Aquantia AQR113c 1/2.5/5/10 Gigabit PHYs
- SFP+ 10GBit slot
Power is supplied via a 12V 2A standard barrel connector. At the
right side behind the grid is UART serial connector. A Serial
header can be connected to from the outside of the switch trough
the airvents with a standard 2.54mm header.
Pins are from top to bottom Vcc(3.3V), TX, RX and GND. Serial
connection is via 115200 baud, 8N1.
A reset button is accessble through a hole in the front panel
At the time of this commit, all ethernet ports work under OpenWRT,
including the various NBaseT modes, however the 10GBit SFP+ slot is not
supported.
Installation
--------------
* Connect serial as per the layout above. Connection parameters: 115200 8N1.
* Navigate to 'Management' in the OEM web interface and click on 'Firmware upgrade'
to the left.
* Upload the OpenWrt initramfs image, and wait till the switch reboots.
* Connect to the device through serial and change the U-boot boot command.
> fw_setenv bootcmd 'rtk network on; boota'
* Reboot, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp, verify the checksum and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl930x-zyxel_xgs1250-12-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
* Upon reboot, you have a functional OpenWrt installation. Leave the bootcmd
value as is - without 'rtk network on' the switch will fail to initialise
the network.
Web recovery
------------
The XGS1250-12 has a handy web recovery that will load when U-boot does
not find a bootable kernel. In case you would like to trigger the web
recovery manually, partially overwrite the firmware partition with some
zeroes:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd5 bs=1M count=2
If you have serial connected you'll see U-boot will start the web recovery
and print it's listening on 192.168.1.1, but by default it seems to be on
the OEM default IP for the switch - 192.168.1.3. The web recovery only
listens on HTTP (80) and *not* on 443 (HTTPS) unlike the web UI.
Return to stock
---------------
You can flash the ZyXEL firmware images to return to stock:

The current rule produces empty trailers, causing the OEM firmware
update application to reject our images.
The double expansion of a makefile variable does not work inside
shell code. The second round is interpreted as a shell expansion,
attempting to run the command ZYXEL_VERS instead of expanding the
$(ZYXEL_VERS) makefile variable.
Fix by removing one level of variable indirection.

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

open the SSH connection, download the sysupgrade image to the device
and perform sysupgrade with it
11. Wait ~120 seconds to complete sysupgrade
Note:
- The uploaded image via WebUI will only be written with the length
embedded in the uImage header. If the sysupgrade image is specified,
only the kernel is flashed and lacks the rootfs, this causes a kernel
panic while booting and bootloops.
To avoid this issue, initramfs image is required for flashing on WebUI
of stock firmware.
- This device has 1x LED named as "POWER", but it's not connected to the
GPIO of SoC and cannot be controlled.
- port 17 is named as "WAN/CONSOLE". This port is for the upstream
connection and console access (telnet/WebUI) on stock firmware.
Back to stock firmware:
1. Set "bootpartition" variable in u-boot-env2 partition to "1" by
fw_setsys
fw_setsys bootpartition 1
2. Reboot AML2-17GP

The Netgear GS308T v1 is an 8 port gigabit switch. The GS310TP v1 is an 8
port POE+ gigabit switch with 2 SFP Ports (currently untested).
The GS308T v1 and GS310TP v1 are quite similar to the Netgear GS1xx
devices already supported. Theses two devices use the same Netgear
firmware and are very similar to there corresponding GS1xx devices. For
this reason they share a large portion of the device tree with the GS108T
and GS110TP with exception of the uimage magic and model and compatible
values.
All of the above feature a dual firmware layout, referred to as Image0
and Image1 in the Netgear firmware.
In order to manipulate the PoE+ on the GS310TP v1 , one needs the
rtl83xx-poe package
Specifications (GS308T)

* RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button
* 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, internal PHY (RTL8218B)
* UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1

* RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button
* 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, 2 x Gigabit SFP ports,
internal PHY (RTL8218B)
* UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1
* Power is supplied via a 54V 1.25A barrel connector
Both devices have UART pinout
-----------
J1 | [o]ooo
^ ||`------ GND
| |`------- RX [TX out of the serial adapter]
| `-------- TX [RX into the serial adapter]
`---------- Vcc (3V3) [the square pin]
The through holes are filled with PB-free solder which melts at 375C.
They can also be drilled using a 0.9mm bit.
Installation
------------
Instructions are identical to those for the similar Negear devices
and apply both to the GS308T v1 and GS310TP v1 as well.
-------------------
Boot initramfs image from U-Boot
--------------------------------
1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt
2. Init network with `rtk network on` command
3. Load image with `tftpboot 0x8f000000
openwrt-realtek-generic-netgear_gs308t-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin` command
4. Boot the image with `bootm` command
The switch defaults to IP 192.168.1.1 and tries to fetch the image via
TFTP from 192.168.1.111.
Updating the installed firmware
-------------------------------
The OpenWRT ramdisk image can be flashed directly from the Netgear UI.
The Image0 slot should be used in order to enable sysupgrade.
As with similar switches, changing the active boot partition can be
accomplished in U-Boot as follows:
1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt
2. Run `setsys bootpartition {0|1}` to select the boot partition
3. Run `savesys` followed by `boota` to proceed with the boot process

* 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

The Netgear GS108T v3 is an 8 port gigabit switch with PoE-PD support
on port 1. The two prior versions were built using eCos and are not
currently compatible with OpenWRT.
The GS108T v3 is quite similar to both the GS110TPP v1 and GS110TP v3,
all of which use the same firmware image from Netgear. For this reason,
the device tree is identical aside from the model and compatible values.
All of the above feature a dual firmware layout, referred to as Image0
and Image1 in the Netgear firmware.
Hardware specification
----------------------
* RTL8380M SoC, 1 MIPS 4KEc core @ 500MHz
* 128MB DDR3-1600 DRAM (Winbond W631GG8MB-12)
* 32MB 3v NOR SPI Flash (Macronix MX25L25635F or Winbond W25Q256JVFIQ)
* RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button
* 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, internal PHY (RTL8218B)
* UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1
* Power is supplied via a 12V 1A barrel connector or 802.3af

The through holes are filled with PB-free solder which melts at 375C.
They can also be drilled using a 0.9mm bit.
Build configuration
-------------------
* Target System: Realtek MIPS
* Target Profile: Netgear GS108T v3
* Target Images -> ramdisk -> Compression: lzma
* Disable other target images
Boot initramfs image from U-Boot
--------------------------------
1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt
2. Init network with `rtk network on` command
3. Load image with `tftpboot 0x8f000000 openwrt-realtek-generic-netgear_gs108t-v3-initramfs-kernel.bin` command
4. Boot the image with `bootm` command
The switch defaults to IP 192.168.1.1 and tries to fetch the image via
TFTP from 192.168.1.111.
Updating the installed firmware
-------------------------------
The OpenWRT ramdisk image can be flashed directly from the Netgear UI.
The Image0 slot should be used in order to enable sysupgrade.
As with similar switches, changing the active boot partition can be
accomplished in U-Boot as follows:
1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt
2. Run `setsys bootpartition {0|1}` to select the boot partition
3. Run `savesys` followed by `boota` to proceed with the boot process

The netgear_nge device will be shared between the GS108T v3 (to be added
in a later commit) and the GS110PP v1. It also enables LZMA compression
for the ramdisk image.

Append a device specific version trailer used by the stock
firmware upgrade application to validate firmwares.
The trailer contains a list of ZyXEL firmware version
numbers, which includes a four letter hardware identifier.
The stock web UI requires that the current hardware matches
one of the listed versions, and that the version number is
larger than a model specific minimum value. The minimum
version varies between V1.00 and V2.60 for the currently
known GS1900 models. The number is not used anywhere else
to our knowlege, and has no direct relation to the version
info in the u-image header. We can therefore use an
arbitrary value larger than V2.60.
The stock firmware upgrade application will only load and
flash the part of the file specified in the u-image header,
regardless of file size. It can therefore not be used to
flash images with an appended rootfs. There is therefore no
need to include the trailer in other images than the
initramfs. This prevents accidentally bricking by attempts
to flash other images from the stock web UI.
Stock images support all models in the series, listing
all of them in the version trailer. OpenWrt provide model
specific images. We therefore only list the single supported
hardware identifier for each image. This eliminates the risk
of flashing the wrong OpenWrt image from stock web UI.
OpenWrt can be installed from stock firmware in two steps:
1) flash OpenWrt initramfs image from stock web gui
2) boot OpenWrt and sysupgrade to a squasfs image
The OpenWrt squashfs image depends on a static partition
map in the DTS. It can only be installed to the "firmware"
partition. This partition is labeled "RUNTIME1" in u-boot
and in stock firmware, and is referred to as "image 0" in
the stock flash management tool. The OpenWrt initramfs
can be installed and run from either partitions. But if
you want to keep stock irmware in the spare system partition,
then you must make sure stock firmware is installed to the
"RUNTIME2" partition referred to as "image 1" in the stock
web UI. And the initial OpenWrt initramfs must be flashed
to "RUNTIME1"/"image 0".
The stock flash management application supports direct
selection of both which partition to flash and which
partition to boot next. This allows software controlled
"dual-boot" between OpenWrt and stock firmware, without
using console access to u-boot. u-boot use the "bootpartition"
variable stored in the second u-boot environment to select
which of the two system partitions to boot. This variable
is set by the stock flash management application, by direct
user input. It can also be set in OpenWrt using e.g
fw_setsys bootpartition 1
to select "RUNTIME2"/"image 1" as default, assuming a
stock firmware version is installed in that partition.

The stock firmware of the ZyXEL GS1900 series use a non-standard
u-image magic. This is not enforced by the stock u-boot, which is
why we could boot images with the default magic. The flash
management application of the stock firmware will however verify
the magic, and refuse any image with another value.
Convert to vendor-specific value to get flash management support
in stock firmware, including the ability to upgrade to OpenWrt
directly from stock web UI.

The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)

The ZyXEL GS1900-8HP is an 8 port gigabit switch with PoE+ support.
There are two versions on the market (v1 & v2) which share similar
specs (same flash size and flash layout, same RAM size, same PoE+ power
envelope) but have a different case and board layout that they each
share with other GS1900 siblings.
The v1 seems to share its PCB and case with non-PoE GS1900-8; as such,
adding support for the GS1900-8 would probably be trivial. The v2 seems
to share its casing and platform with its already supported bigger
brother, the GS1900-10HP - its board looks the same, except for two
holes where the GS1900-10 has its SFP ports.
Like their 10 port sibling, both devices have a dual firmware layout.
Both GS1900-8HP boards have the same 70W PoE+ power budget. In order to
manipulate the PoE+, one needs the rtl83xx-poe package [1].
After careful consideration it was decided to go with separate images
for each version.
