Daniel Groth 51ec9b3864 realtek: d-link: dgs-1210 remake of the device tree
I have collected the known information from the dts files we have.
After that I made a new device tree that should work for this whole D-Link
switch family.
This device tree is based on modules where you first select which SoC group
the device belongs to. Then you include the GPIO dtsi file depending on what
hardware your device has, see examples below.
This tree is also expandable for more hardware,
see the part 'Future expansion possibilities' further down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The device tree now looks like this:
                            ----------------
                            | rtl838x.dtsi |    // Note 1.
                            ----------------
                                    |
                                    |
                    ---------------------------------------
                    | rtl838x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi | // Note 2.
                    ---------------------------------------
                                |
                                |       --------------
                                |-------| device.dts |      // Note 3.
                                |       --------------
                                |
                -------------------------------------
                | rtl83xx_d-link_dgs-1210_gpio.dtsi |       // Note 4.
                -------------------------------------
                                |
                                |       --------------
                                |-------| device.dts |      // Note 5.
                                        --------------

Note 1; Included in rtl838x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi.

Note 2; SoC level information and memory mapping. Choose which one to include
		in the device dts.

Note 3; At this point dgs-1210-16 will come out here.

Note 4; In this dtsi only common board hardware based on the rtl8231 is found.
	No PoE based hardware in this dtsi.
	In this dtsi there is no <#include> to above *_common.dtsi.

Note 5; Device dts with only rtl8231 based hardware without PoE will come out
		here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to set up in dts file:

The device dts will have one of these two <#include> alternatives.

This alternative includes only common features:
<#include "rtl838x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi">

This alternative includes common and the rtl8231 GPIO (no PoE) features:

<#include "rtl838x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi">
<#include "rtl83xx_d-link_dgs-1210_gpio.dtsi">

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation:

Finally, I also implemented this new family device tree on the current
supported devices:
dgs-1210-10p
dgs-1210-16
dgs-1210-20
dgs-1210-28

The implementation for the dgs-1210-10p is different. I have removed the
information from the rtl8382_d-link_dgs-1210-10p.dts that is already present
in rtl838x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi.
Since the rest isn't officially probed in the device dts I do not want to
include the rtl83xx_d-link_dgs-1210_gpio.dtsi with dgs-1210-10p.dts.

Since I don't have these devices to test on I have built the original firmware
for each one of these devices before this change and saved the dtb file and
then compared the original dtb file with the dtb file built with this new
device tree.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future expansion possibilities:

In parallel with the rtl838x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi in the tree map
we can make a rtl839x_d-link_dgs-1210_common.dtsi to use the rtl839x.dtsi if
the need arises with more devices based on rtl839x soc.

When we have more PoE devices so the hardware map for these gets more clear
we can make a rtl83xx_d-link_dgs-1210_poe.dtsi below
the rtl83xx_d-link_dgs-1210_gpio.dtsi in the tree map.

I looked at the port and switch setup to see if it could be moved to the dtsi.
I decided not to touch this part now. The reason was that there isn't really
any meaningful way this could be shared between the devices.
The only thing in common over the family is the 8+2sfp ports on the
dgs-1210-10xx device.
And then there is the hot plug SFP and I2C ports that aren’t implemented
on any device. So maybe when we see the whole port map for the family
then maybe the ports can be moved to a *_common.dtsi but I don't think it is
the right moment for that now.

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.

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