Porting guide ar71xx to ath79?

For Developers
103

worked on TL-MR3020-V1, this is the PR and I have the LAN led status problem, like on 841, adding the lan port to swconfig made the led working but traffic would stop after some seconds
all mdio on this devices are detected as a switch
using swconfig in 02_network the lan port is bound to cpu port 0 on vlan 1 and if I manually set it to vlan 0 and delete the generated eth0.1 interface from lan, everything is working.

vlan1

config switch
        option name 'switch0'
        option reset '1'
        option enable_vlan '1'

config switch_vlan
        option device 'switch0'
        option vlan '1'
        option ports '1 0t'

swconfig show

VLAN 0:
        vid: 0
        ports: 0t 2 3 4
VLAN 1:
        vid: 1
        ports: 0t 1

is there a way that I can setup port 1 of the switch to be bound to tagged port 0 on vlan 0 using ucidef ?

edit:
found it ucidef_add_switch_vlan "switch0" "0" "0t 1", hope it works

104

Hmmm, VLAN ID 0 and 4095 are both reserved. VLAN 0 is taken by some hardware to look at the priority bits only.

105

I just found out that any vlan is ok as long as eth0 is not bridged to br-lan
I think I have to do this
ucidef_set_interface_lan "eth0.1" instead of ucidef_set_interface_lan "eth0"

edit:
yes that made it work, it was a leftover before I encountered the led problem

I have a couple of mikrotik routers that running lede 17.04.x right now. I wouldn't mind testing 18.06 on them. I am busy until June 1st but if you send me directions on where to download the file from, unless you are wanting me to test snapshots, I can get the process started. Are the snapshots stable?

107

18.06 doesn't include kernel 4.14, for the moment only few devices are ported to kernel 4.14 and most of them are not full working

108

@juppin how are you today ? :smiley:

I've tried the 1043nd v4, and it's a bummer it locks at this:

@lucize
I have been following the whole 4.9 vs 4.14 discussion. Is there enough information in the 4.4 and 4.9 kernels to construct the dts files? If not what information would be needed? Are there directions how convert the mach files to dts?

110

yes there can be enough info in the mach files, but first we need to figure out every SoC quirks and after that is just an adjustment for every specific board. so if you have a board with an existing SoC then for sure you can boot it and you will have to adjust the gpio leds, buttons, the way mac is read from the device and the network config, all that info is available on ar71xx targets

and about the directions you can read the datasheet

@lucize Hi there...
I also have a wr1043v4.
I donĀ“t think is that much different from qca955x. Main differenece would be pll, wmac and gmac.

There are some small errors in your dtsi.. Looks like it stucks because of bad pll node / ref clock...

Try it with this inside pll node:

clocks = <&ref>;
clock-names = "ref";

I see this isnĀ“t also set in qca9557.dtsi, but probably this is done here in the code and pll code for qca95560 does need it.

112

but isn't this that solves the pll clocks ?

&pll {
clocks = <&extosc>;
};

extosc: ref {
	compatible = "fixed-clock";
	#clock-cells = <0>;
	clock-output-names = "ref";
	clock-frequency = <40000000>;
};

I tried this without success

                    pll: pll-controller@18050000 {
                            compatible = "qca,qca9563-pll",
                                            "qca,qca9560-pll";
                            reg = <0x18050000 0x20>;

                            #clock-cells = <1>;
                            clocks = <&ref>;
                            clock-names = "ref";
                            clock-output-names = "cpu", "ddr", "ahb";
                    };
113

Yes, this is mostly the same... HavenĀ“t seen this until now in your dts(i)...

You could check your compiled dts files with "fdtdump" if you want... On debian the package that this includes is "device-tree-compiler"...

The compiled dtb is somewhere in build_dir/target_xxx/linux-ath79-xxx/image-xxx.dtb

114

Yes I know where they are because you need to delete them to be recreated

here they are

Sorry, i have no time to take a look into this now...

I havenĀ“t deleted them and they were always compiled new on my devel machine...
Probably that happens all the time or only if they are edited.

116

I'm sure I had some times that they weren't recreated and I just chose to delete them

117

@lucize Any furter success on wr1043v4?

118

I was a bit busy in the town and didn't looked on it, meanwhile I thought about fixing the dts files for the warnings, it's really hard to spot compile mistakes when you do -j24 or something like that. And because cpu and other timers are detected like on 4.9 I don't know where to look next, we don't have the ddr and ahb printed so don't know what to say

119

Are you sure wr1043v4 uses 25 MHz ref clk?
If you have your dev open, could you verify that there is a 25MHz or 40MHz clk generator???
Look at this picture to get a feeling what are you looking for...
This one is labeled as 25.000 and is a 25MHz oscillator

120

That could also be read from OpenWRT bootlog.
Simply flash it and there will be ref clock value with the rest of clocks in early stages of bootlog

121

the ar71xx says 25mhz, is more tiny on this one, first time I started without 25mhz and the cpu clock was shown ~1200mhz

here is the pic
image

edit:
I think that google photo or the forum cut on quality, zooming it shows that is 25
is really tiny compared to the standard types

122

Then its 25MHz
