Markus Stockhausen 593df57731 realtek: dts: adapt RTL839x mdio bus topology
The RTL839x actually has two mdio busses.

- mdio bus 0 serves ports 0..23
- mdio bus 1 serves ports 24..51

This is baked into hardware and cannot be changed during mdio driver
setup with any register write. With the recent changes the driver
handles ports, phys and busses in a more logical way. So a port X
is assigned to a bus Y and a phy Z (on that bus). This gives a
mapping like

- port 16 <=> bus 0, address 16
- port 32 <=> bus 1, address 8

This unique assignment is used in the mdio driver as follows:

- Request to read bus 1, address 8
- Lookup corresponding port = 32
- Read from port 32

Looking at RTL839x it becomes clear that bus/phy => port lookup can
be achieved in multiple different ways. The simple reason is, that
for this device the driver cannot setup the smi topology. It is
baked into the hardware. So adding a "virtual" second bus does not
change the hardware access but allows to keep phy addresses below 32.
Making an example

mdio_bus0 {
  PHY_C22(40, 40)
}

resolves to port 40. But the same can be achieved with

mdio_bus1 {
  PHY_C22(40, 16)
}

In the first case the kernel sees bus/phy = 0/40 and in the second
case it sees bus/phy = 1/16. Both result in the access to the same
phy device on hardware port 40.

Use this analogy for RTL839x devices to match the real hardware
topology. For this change the existing dts and

- activate mdio bus 1 in rtl839x.dtsi
- rearrange devices with ports 24..51 to make use of bus 1

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!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS 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.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip 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.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
