Hauke Mehrtens e6ba970b6e realtek: Add ZyXEL GS1900-8
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

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

gcc-6+ binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make4.1+ find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev rsync which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
