The RTL839x mdio functions are scattered around the code. Relocate
them to the bus (still inside the ethernet driver).
Additionally provide a consistent SerDes register access through the
mdio bus. Until now when a SerDes directly drives a SFP module there
is no clear rule of how to handle its register set that consists of
two parts:
- c22 phy registers 0-15 live in the fiber page (2) of the SerDes
- other SerDes specific registers exist in pages before and after
The mdio bus and other SerDes functions are a wild mix of directly
looking into page 2 or just using self defined methods to access
data.
Adapt the bus to the new consistent phy interface that mixes the
SerDes register set like classic Realtek phys do it.
- Use register 31 as page select (already in the bus)
- Always keep the common registers 0-15 in place and read fiber page
- Map the SerDes internal registers into the upper vendor specific
registers 16-23 according to the page select register (31).
That gives a register mapping as follows:
+-----------------------+-----------------------+---------------+-------------+
| reg 0x00-0x0f | reg 0x10-0x17 | reg 0x18-0x1e | reg 0x1f |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+---------------+-------------+
| SerDes fiber page (3) | real SerDes registers | zero | SerDes page |
| registers 0 - 15 | in packages of 8 | | select reg |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+---------------+-------------+
Example to make it as clear as possible.
SerDes registers on a RTL839x show
Page / Reg | 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 0x05 0x06 0x07 0x08 0x09 0x0A 0x0B ...

This translates to this phy layout

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
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo 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.
Related Repositories
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.
