I saw the modular QCA switch in a russian patch series[0] for ZyXel Keenetic series - those are ramips (rt305x + mt7620). Some ramips devices have only 4M flash and seem to use very different hardware. I was cleaning up and trying to apply these changes to trunk [1] But there are some issues (language barrier, no device to test myself, image generation/incompatibilities) with my current series [2] and the ramips platform seem to require custom inits for each different phy that is attached (nonworking RT821x on ramips for chinese HG255D [3]) references: [0] http://s-trace.url.ph/files/ZyXEL_Keenetic_Series/OpenWRT/47/svn_47.diff or for browsing https://github.com/plntyk/openwrt-zyxel_keenetic/blob/master/original.mirror/svn_47.diff https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=49276 [1] - https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=55733 - https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=55734 [2] - https://github.com/plntyk/openwrt-zyxel_keenetic/tree/master/series.v2 [3] https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=55793 https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=55821 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
