Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P is 6 port router with similar
specifications as the EdgeRouter 4, support for which was added
in commit dd651e54cc
There are five 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ/Copper ports and
one 1000 Mbps SFP port.
SoC: Octeon Cavium 7130 (Cavium 3) at 1000MHz
Memory: 1GiB DDR3
Flash: 2x2M chips with uboots (chainloaded) + 512K eeprom
LEDs: 1x for power status (white/blue, controllable)
and 6x for ethernet and SFP ports (no control over them)
Buttons: 1x Reset
Serial: 1x RJ45 port on front panel. 115200 baud, 8N1
USB: 1x USB3.0 on front panel
MII: 1x QSGMII from SoC
PHY: 1x Vitesse VSC8504 of which 4 ports are used (phys 4-7)
1x Vitesse VSC8514 of which 2 ports are used (phys 8-9)
Network port mapping
- eth0 on device maps to lan0 and phy5
- eth1 on device maps to lan1 and phy6
- eth2 on device maps to lan2 and phy7
- eth3 on device maps to lan3 and phy8
- eth4 on device maps to lan4 and phy9
- eth5 (SFP) on device maps to lan5 and phy4
What is not working:
- There is no port status available before it goes up
- SFP have no additional status and presented as no different from eth
- Power-over-ethernet (passive) support has not been tested
How to flash the firmware:
- copy openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-initramfs-kernel.bin and
openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar to
USB flash drive that is formatted to vfat/fat32
- connect USB flash drive to EdgeRouter 6P front USB port
- connect serial cable using front RJ45 port (115200 baud, 8N1)
- connect power to cable to EdgeRouter 6P
- connect terminal to the console to see uboot boot process
- interrupt boot by pressing button(s) on your keyboard to log
in to the uboot
- detect usb connected flash drives by typing to the console:
usb start
- after drive is detected load initramfs+kernel to the memory by typing:
fatload usb 0:1 0x20000000 openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-initramfs-kernel.bin
- after initramfs+kernel is loaded to the memory load it by typing:
bootoctlinux 0 numcores=4 endbootargs mem=0
- boot process should finish and you will be greeted with console
after pressing enter
- create directory to mount usb flash drive to by typing:
mkdir /tmp/sda
- mount flash drive to that directory by typing:
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda
- flash firmware to router internal storage by typing:
sysupgrade /tmp/sda/openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
- device will reboot and after it gets up you will have
edgerouter 6p running openwrt
