* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps (RTL8224)
* SFP: 2x SFP+ cages
* UART: 1x 4 pins serial header, 115200 bauds, 8n1, 3.3v logic levels,
pinout: unused (top), TX, RX, GND (bottom)
* Buttons: 1x "Reset" button
Works:
------
- 2 SFP+ cages either 1G/10G or 2.5G
- 8*2.5G Ethernet ports
- Switch function
- LEDs
- Boot from flash
- Assigning MAC addresses from flash
Ethernet ports:
---------------
The 8x 2.5Gbps ethernet ports are provided by two RTL8224 chips. The
ports are supported by the upstream realtek PHY driver plus a local
initialization patch for the 10g-qxgmii mode.
Installation:
-------------
This device uses ZyNOS instead of Linux which makes the installation a
bit cumbersome. OpenWRT will be installed on the slot of the second
firmware image, thus the switch original firmware can be booted with a
little change. The serial console is required.
1. Set the switch to boot from the first image. This is required to
be sure not to be blocked in the middle of the installation
procedure.
2. Connect to the switch using the serial adapter and interrupt the boot
process by pressing "Enter" repeatedly.
3. Load the OpenWRT initramfs image using xmodem. From bootext console
(use ATHE to get the list of commands):
> ATUP 81800000,file_length
> ATGO 81800000
4. Wait for OpenWRT to boot, once this is done transfer the loader
binary and the sysupgrade image to /tmp using scp.
5. Install OpenWRT permanently by writing the images on the flash:
> mtd write /tmp/loader.bin loader
> mtd write /tmp/sysupgrade.bin firmware
6. Reboot the switch and from the stock firmware set the configuration
to boot from the second image (Maintenance > Firmware upgrade > Boot
image).
7. Reboot again and enjoy OpenWRT.
Recovery/Return to stock:
-------------------------
1. Connect the switch using the serial adapter and interrupt the boot
process during the "DRAM POST: Testing:" sequence by pressing '$'
until the "XMG1915$" prompt appears.
2. Start an ymodem upgrade using the following command and use an xmodem
upload tool to send the .bin file provided in an OEM upgrade package.
XMG1915$ upgradeY image2 81000000 115200
## Ready for binary (ymodem) download to 0x081000000 at 115200 bps...
3. Wait for the upgrade process to finish and reboot the switch.
