This is an RTL8393-based switch with 48 RJ-45 and 2 SFP ports.
Hardware
--------
SoC: Realtek RTL8393M
RAM: 128MB DDR3 (Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI)
FLASH: 8MB NOR (Macronix MX25L6433F)
ETH: 48x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet
SFP: 2x SFP
BTN:
- 1x Reset button
LEDS:
- 50x Green-Amber leds: lan/sfp status
- 1x Green led: power (Always on)
UART:
- 115200-8-N-1 (CN3, pin-out on PCB)
Everything works correctly except for the 2 SFP ports that are not
working unless you enable it every boot in U-Boot with the command:
rtk network on
Installation
------------
You can install Openwrt using one of the following methods.
Warning: flashing OpenWrt will delete your current configuration.
Warning 2: if the -factory.bix file is not available anymore, you must
follow Method 2.
Method 1:
Check the firmware version currently running on your switch. If you are
running FW V1.0.1.10 or greater, you have to download the firmware
V1.0.1.8 from Netgear website and then flash this version. When the
switch restarts, it should be on version V1.0.1.8. Now you can get the
OpenWrt -factory.bix file and then flash it using the OEM web interface.
Method 2 (requires the UART connection):
Boot the -initramfs-kernel.bin image from U-Boot with these commands:
rtk network on;
tftpboot 0x8f000000 openwrt-realtek-rtl839x-netgear_gs750e-initramfs-kernel.bin;
bootm;
And then flash the -sysupgrade.bin file from OpenWrt.
Revert to stock
---------------
Get the stock firmware from the Netgear website and flash it using the
OpenWrt web interface. Remember to not keep the current configuration
and check the "Force upgrade" checkbox
Once reverted to stock the firmware could complain in the UART console
about mtdblock3 and/or mtdblock4 not being mounted correctly but it
seems to work anyway without any problems. Sample error:
mount: Mounting /dev/mtdblock4 on /mntlog failed: Input/output error
If you want to get rid of these error messages you can boot the
-initramfs-kernel.bin image from U-Boot with these commands:
rtk network on;
tftpboot 0x8f000000 openwrt-realtek-rtl839x-netgear_gs750e-initramfs-kernel.bin;
bootm;
And then erase the corresponding partitions using the command:
For mtdblock3:
mtd erase jffs2_cfg
For mtdblock4:
mtd erase jffs2_log
Now you can reboot the switch and the errors should be gone
Note
----
To get the SFP ports fully working, all the right GPIOs must be found.
In the GPL sources I found these:
- GPIO_14: SFP_TX_DIS1;
- GPIO_19: SFP_TX_DIS0;

ZyXEL GS1900 devices with SoCs from both the RTL838x and RTL839x
families share the same image structure and size of the firmware
partition. Additionally, the GS1900-48 recipe provided a parameter for
the zyxel-vers command, but this parameter is not used. Deduplicate the
recipes by moving it to target/linux/realtek/image/common.mk.

The listed partition size doesn't match the original partition size, and
actually overlaps with the following partition. The partition node name
for the "firmware" partition also has an extra 'b' compared to the
partition offset.

The D-Link DGS-1210 device series currently has supported devices with
both RTL838x and RTL839x SoCs. An image build recipe has been defined in
both subtarget makefiles, but these are mostly identical, save for the
SOC variable.
Move the SOC variable from the DGS-1210 build recipes to the applicable
devices, and put the remaining duplicate code in a shared Makefile.

Hardware specification
----------------------
* RTL8393M SoC, 1 MIPS 34Kc core @ 700MHz
* 128MB DRAM
* 32MB NOR Flash
* 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports
- 6 x External PHY with 8 ports (RTL8218D)
* 4 x Gigabit RJ45/SFP Combo ports
- External PHY with 4 SFP ports (RTL8214FC)
* Power LED
* Reset button on front panel
* UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J14
The gpio-restart node is not required but it does reset the switch.
TODO: The 4 combo ports attached to the RTL8214FC are not detect
properly. Linux kernel reports 49 and 50 as "External RTL8393 SERDES"
and 51 and 52 as "RTL8218B (external)". Those ports only work if
u-boot initialize it (for example, loading initramfs image using one
of those ports). A patch to PHY detection is needed for full support.
The firmware recovery using U-Boot is broken for all DGS-1210 tested
devices as pressing RESET does not trigger it (only if pressed from a
running stock image)

This is an RTL8393-based switch with 802.3af on all 48 ports.
Specifications:
---------------
* SoC: Realtek RTL8393M
* Flash: 32 MiB SPI flash
* RAM: 256 MiB
* Ethernet: 48x 10/100/1000 Mbps with PoE+

Works:
------
- (48) RJ-45 ethernet ports
- Switch functions
- Buttons
- All LEDs on front panel except port LEDs
- Fan monitoring and basic control
Not yet enabled:
----------------
- PoE - ICs are not in AUTO mode, so the kernel driver is not usable
- Port LEDs
- SFP cages
Install via web interface:
-------------------------
Not supported at this time.
Install via serial console/tftp:
--------------------------------
The U-Boot firmware drops to a TP-Link specific "BOOTUTIL" shell at
38400 baud. There is no known way to exit out of this shell, and no
way to do anything useful.
Ideally, one would trick the bootloader into flashing the sysupgrade
image first. However, if the image exceeds 6MiB in size, it will not
work. To install OpenWRT:
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
Power on device, and stop boot by pressing any key.
Once the shell is active:
1. Ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U6)
2. Select option "3. Start"
3. Bootloader notes that "The kernel has been damaged!"
4. Release CLK as soon as bootloader thinks image is corrupted.
5. Bootloader enters automatic recovery -- details printed on console
6. Watch as the bootloader flashes and boots OpenWRT.
Blind install via tftp:
-----------------------
This method works when it's not feasible to install a serial header.
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
3. Watch network traffic (tcpdump or wireshark works)
4. Power on the device.
5. Wait 1-2 seconds then ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U6)
6. When 192.168.0.30 makes tftp requests, release pin 16
7. Wait 2-3 minutes for device to auto-flash and boot OpenWRT

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: pn28480k_v30000.rom)
and place it to the TFTP directory
4. Boot M48eG 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 pn28480k_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 'sleep 10; bootm;'
saveenv
'sleep 10;' is required as dummy to execute 'bootm' command correctly
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
Known Issues:
- 4x SFP ports are provided as combo ports by the RTL8218FB chip, but the
phy driver has no support for it. Currently, only TP ports work by the
RTL8218B support.
Note:
- "Switch-M48eG" is a model name, and "PN28480K" is a model number.
Switch-M48eG has an another (old) model number ("PN28480"), it's not a
Realtek based hardware.
- Switch-M48eG has a "POWER" LED (Green), but it's not connected to any
GPIO pin.
- U-Boot checks the runtime images in the flash when booting and fails
to execute "bootcmd" variable if the images are not existing.
- 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".
- A GPIO pin on PCA9539 is used for resetting external RTL8218B phys and
RTL8218FB phy.
This should be specified as "reset-gpios" property in MDIO node, but
the current configuration of RTL8218B phy in the driver seems to be
incomplete and RTL8218FB won't be configured on RTL8218D support.
So, ethernet ports on these phys will be broken after hard-resetting.
At the moment, configure this pin as gpio-hog to avoid breaking by
resetting.
- This model has 2x Microchip TCN75A thermal sensors. Linux Kernel
supports TCN75 chip on lm75 driver, but no support for TCN75'A'
variant.
At the moment, use TCN75 support for the chips instead.
Back to the stock firmware:
1. Delete "loadaddr" variable and set "bootcmd" to the original value
on U-Boot:
setenv loadaddr
setenv bootcmd 'ffsrdm c:/runtime.had 0x81000000;alphadec c:/runtime.had 0x81000240 0x80010000;'
on OpenWrt:
fw_setenv loadaddr
fw_setenv bootcmd 'ffsrdm c:/runtime.had 0x81000000;alphadec c:/runtime.had 0x81000240 0x80010000;'
2. Perform reset or reboot
on U-Boot:
reset
on OpenWrt:
reboot
