11/6/2022 0 Comments 8508t ezswitch![]() ![]() The current two-stage installation process is clunky and not compatible with the ipq806x target. Was this the case, or was it between one of the releases on the russian board? I can't say much more without the details but sysupgrade -f actually is dangerous! ![]() #8508t ezswitch updateIt's working fine with the ASUS Stock firmware or LEDE.Īs for (3): I know that the sysupgrade.tar will fail to upgrade, if it tries to update from the alpha/4.8/4.9-ipq40xx-target branch to the current ipq806x. Note: The SMC switch only has problems with the u-boot driver. So the best option is to try it on different HW. However, it works as expected with a Netgear GS105 and a ALLNet 8894WMP. It constantly switches between 100/1000 FDX/HDX. This is because, I too have a switch (SMC EZSwitch 8508T - I think it's a vitesse based chip - it has a big heatsink that I don't want to remove) that isn't co-operating. #8508t ezswitch driver"U-Boot Note: The ethernet driver isn't always reliable and can sometime time out. And I have added a note in the (original - well very early?) git commit: (From what I remember ASUS' original flash layout allocates ~50MiB for the combined fit+rootfs images in linux1 and the backup in linux2.) However, you would loose a 44 MiB of usable flash storage space. It would be great if the sysupgrade code could be modified to keep the original size. The original image will not fit in it anymore. This has the side-effect that the linux1 (=fit-kernel) partition shrinks. (1) Was this before or after a install? And at which stage? LEDE sysupgrade implementation does delete the existing rootfs and kernel partitions in order to replace them. Since some of the "details" are right here: I am waiting for "an expert" to solder pins to router to use uart cable. TFTP daemon is started but does not receive firmware.(3) one can flash some junk in lede with sysupgrade -f - after it (1) and (2) work. (2) recovery mode (with the help of reset button) does not work. (1) if asus trx firmware is flashed using uart cable - kernel starts to boot and never finishes. As reported by some users on Russian forum going back from lede to stock is not that easy. ![]()
