Markus Stockhausen 7a7ee72c4d realtek: mdio: add SerDes driver
Until now the SerDes access is realized with some helper functions
in the mdio bus. These were moved around a lot and had no real home.
End that temporary solution to move them where they belong.

The target design for the different Realtek drivers is as follows:

- dsa driver manages switch
- pcs driver manages SerDes on high level (to be developed)
- mdio driver manages SerDes on low level (this commit)

This driver adds the low level SerDes access via mdio. For debugging
purposes the user can interact with the SerDes in different ways.

First, there is a debug interface in
/sys/kernel/debug/realtek_otto_serdes/serdes.X/registers.
With that a dump of all registers can be shown.

> cat /sys/kernel/debug/realtek_otto_serdes/serdes.4/registers
Back SDS  4:   00   01   02   03   04   05   06   07   08
SDS        : 0C03 0F00 7060 7106 074D 0EBF 0F0F 0359 5248
SDS_EXT    : 0000 0000 85FA 8C6D 5CCC 0000 20D8 0003 79AA
...

Second, one can read/write registers via the mmd functions of the
mdio command line tool. Important to know: The registers are accessed
on the vendor specific MDIO_MMD_VEND1 device address (=30). Additionally
the SerDes page and register are concatenated into the the mmd register.
Top 8 bits are SerDes page and bottom 8 bits are SerDEs register.
E.g.

- mmd 0x0206 : SerDes page 0x02, SerDes register 0x06
- mmd 0x041f : SerDes page 0x04, SerDes register 0x1f

Read register 0x02 on page 0x03 of SerDes 0
> mdio realtek-serdes-mdio mmd 0:30 raw 0x0302

Write register 0x12 on page 0x02 of SerDes 1
> mdio realtek-serdes-mdio mmd 1:30 raw 0x0212 0x2222

For now this driver is only defined in the devicetree and activated
in the kernel build. There is no current consumer but at least
the debugging interface is available. Cleanup of the currently used
SerDes functions will come later.

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).
