rev B1 is identical to rev A1 except for different PHYs on the 2.5gbps ports (lan9 and lan10)
Both revisions of xgs1210-12 are also switched to use rt-loader to avoid
problems due to overwriting the compressed image in memory when flashing
with the oem firmware (and also to save flash space with respect to gzip
compression)

The A1 and B1 devices are largely the same. The differences
seem to be:
- RTL8218D (A1) vs RTL8218E (B1) PHY for the eight 1 Gbps TP ports
- Aquantia (A1) vs RTL8261N (B1) PHY for the three 10 Gbps TP ports
RTL8218D/E share the same driver and support was added already by
commit c8c187f0f0 ("realtek: add support for RTL8218E").
The RTL8261N is also already supported but it's located at
different addresses compared to the A1 device. This requires
the device tree to be split. As a result, the devices are require
different images.
I found the smi addresses on the forum:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-managed-switches/57875/3622
And I can conform on my B1 device that this is working.

A new version of the ZyXEL XGS1210-12 has been discovered in
the wild. It includes at least two known hardware changes
- lan9/lan10 use RTL8221B instead of RTL8226
- lan9/lan10 use different SMI busses
Pave the new device the way by splitting the existing DTS.
According to the vendor website the models are named
- A1 (first version): not explicetly labeled
- B1 (second version): Label Rev. B1 on device
Rename the current OpenWrt device definition to A1 as it was
made for the first version. To stay compatible with older
installations, add the old device name to the list of

Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: RTL9303
RAM: Samsung K4B461646E-BYKO (512MB)
Flash: Fudan FM25Q128A (16 MB)
Ethernet: 8x 10G via 2x RTL8264 PHY
LEDs: 2 LEDs, 1 power green, 1 system green
Button: Reset
USB ports: None
Bootloader: Realtek U-Boot - U-Boot 2011.12.(3.6.6.55087) (Nov 13 2022 - 14:37:31)
Fan: 2 fans controlled by STC8G1K08 TSOP-20 microcontroller
Note: The fan appears to operate the same irrespective of the running
firmware. The STC9G1K08 is likely operating independently.
To explore the stock vendor firmware, there are 2 avenues to gain root
access. This is not necessary to install OpenWrt, but is here for
reference.
Root access via serial
----------------------
1. ctrl+t
2. password: switchrtk
3. press 's' for shell
Root access via SSH
-------------------
1. ctrl+t
2. password: switchrtk
3. sys command sh
4. log in with your username+password
5. ctrl+t
6. password: switchrtk
7. press 's' for shell
Credit to https://forum.openwrt.org/t/hasivo-switches/151758/174 for rooting instructions.
Installing OpenWrt
------------------
1. Connect to UART. UART requires soldering an RJ45 connector to the
console footprint on the board. The header is on the top right of
this image: 4d2ab97fad.jpeg
2. Set computer IP to 192.168.0.111.
3. Enter bootloader by pressing esc key during boot.
4. Enter password 'Hs2021cfgmg'.
5. Type 'XXXX'.
6. setenv bootcmd 'rtk network on; bootm 0xb4300000'
7. saveenv
8. rtk network on
9. tftpboot 0x84f00000 <openwrt-initramfs>
10. bootm 0x84f00000
Now you can copy over the sysupgrade image and install.

The Zyxel XGS1210-12 Switch is a 10 + 2 port multi-GBit switch with
8 x 1000BaseT, 2 x 10/100/1000/2500BaseT Ethernet ports and
2 SFP+ module slot.
Hardware:
- RTL9302B SoC
- Macronix MX25L12833F (16MB flash)
- Nanja NT5CC64M16GP-1 (128MB DDR3 SDRAM)
- RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the port LEDs
- RTL8218D 8x Gigabit PHY
- RTL8226 2x 10m/100m/1/2.5 Gigabit PHY
- SFP+ 2x 10GBit slot
Power is supplied via a 12V 1.5A standard barrel connector. At the
right side behind the grid is UART serial connector. A Serial
header can be connected to from the outside of the switch trough
the airvents with a standard 2.54mm header.
Pins are from top to bottom Vcc(3.3V), TX, RX and GND. Serial
connection is via 115200 baud, 8N1.
A reset button is accessble through a hole in the front panel
At the time of this commit, all ethernet ports work under OpenWrt,
including the various NBaseT modes, SFP+ slots are supported with i2c bus.
Installation
--------------
* Connect serial as per the layout above. Connection parameters: 115200 8N1.
* Navigate to 'Management' in the OEM web interface and click on 'Firmware upgrade'
to the left.
* Upload the OpenWrt initramfs image, and wait till the switch reboots.
* Connect to the device through serial and change the U-boot boot command.
> fw_setenv bootcmd 'rtk network on; boota'
* Reboot, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp, verify the checksum and flash it:
> sysupgrade openwrt-realtek-rtl930x-Zyxel_xgs1210-12-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
* Upon reboot, you have a functional OpenWrt installation. Leave the bootcmd
value as is - without 'rtk network on' the switch will fail to initialise
the network.
Debug
------------
* Connect serial as per the layout above. Connection parameters: 115200 8N1.
* A tftp server is requiered, tftpd-hpa works well.
* Power the device, at U-Boot start rapidly hit Esc key to stop autoboot
* Enable network:
> rtk network on
* Change ip address (default is 192.168.1.1):
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.6
* Download initramfs:
> tftpboot 0x84f00000 192.168.1.111:openwrt-realtek-rtl930x-Zyxel_xgs1210-12-initramfs-kernel.bin
* Boot loaded file:

The TP-Link TL-ST1008F is an 8-port multi-gig switch with 8x SFP+ ports
which support 1G/2.5G/10G speeds. Out of the box it is an unmanaged
switch but with RTL9303 and sufficient RAM + Flash it easily can run as
a managed Linux switch.
Hardware:
- Realtek RTL9303 Switch SoC
- Winbond 25Q256JVFQ (32MB flash)
- Samsung K4B4G1646E-BYMA (512MB DDR3 SDRAM)
- TCA9534 GPIO extender to control the port LEDs
- 8x SFP+ 1/2.5/10G slot
- Serial: 3V3 logic, 115200 8N1
- 5-pin JTAG
- physical tri-state switch (used by stock firmware for port speed
config)
- 24-LED port speed matrix
- robust full-metal case
Power is supplied via a 12V 2A standard barrel connector.
There are THT holes on the PCB for serial console next to the flash chip
and JTAG pads. Serial uses 3V3 logic and standard 115200-8N1 config.
Pinout is labeled on the PCB.
All ports/connectors and LEDs are on the back, only Power LED is on the
front.
Hints before flashing
----------------------
* It is recommended to backup the stock flash contents before proceeding.
Backup can be done from U-Boot (with memory display), from OpenWrt
initramfs or probably with SPI flash programmer.
There is no stock recovery functionality.
* Use a small image for RAM boot or first flash. Since you need to use
ymodem, this is really slow and takes time.
* This does not keep the dual-partition layout for firmware to have more
space available for a single OpenWrt installation.
Initial flashing
----------------------
The stock U-boot has broken networking thus no TFTP available. Serial
transfer only.
1. Open device and connect serial as per layout and settings
(recommended to use picocom, ymodem not working with minicom)
2. Connect power to device and press Esc when prompted to enter
the U-Boot console.
3. Boot initramfs
* in the U-Boot console:
loady 0x82000000 (load OpenWrt image via ymodem)
CTRL-A CTRL-S <initramfs.bin> (specify initramfs image for
picocom to upload)
bootm 0x82000000 (boot initramfs from RAM)
(Just to be on the safe side, backup your flash now while RAM-booted)
4. Connect network to your device
5. Upload the sysupgrade image (e.g. with scp)
6. Do sysupgrade
There's no need to adjust the bootcmd in U-Boot. Networking is running
fine once the realtek driver initialized everything in OpenWrt. No
functional difference with running 'rtk network on' within U-Boot
before. Running this even fails and returns with an error.
Return to stock
------------------
This only works if you did a backup of the flash before flashing
OpenWrt. Stock dump then can be flashed from within U-Boot or OpenWrt.
There is no vendor firmware image because this is an unmanaged switch!
CAUTION: Make sure to not overwrite the U-Boot partition(s). If you do
not have a flash programmer, you may not be able to debrick
your device then.

Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Prepare TFTP server with an IP address "192.168.2.36"
2. Connect your PC to Port1 on SKS8300-8X
3. Power on SKS8300-8X and interrupt by Ctrl + B
4. Login to the vendor CLI by Ctrl + F and "diagshell_unipoe_env"
5. Login to the U-Boot CLI by "debug_unish_env" command
6. Enable Port1 with the following commands
rtk 10g 0 fiber1g (or fiber10g if 10GBase-*R)
rtk ext-devInit 0
rtk ext-pinSet 2 0
Note: the last command sets tx-disable to low
7. Download initramfs image from TFTP server
tftpboot 0x82000000 <image name>
8. Boot with the downloaded image
bootm
9. On the initramfs image, backup the stock firmware if needed
10. Upload (or download) sysupgrade image to the device
11. Erase "firmware" partition to cleanup JFFS2 of stock FW
mtd erase firmware
12. Perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
13. Wait ~120 sec to complete flashing
Notes:
- A kernel binary "nos.img" needs to be stored into JFFS2 filesystem
using 4KiB erase block instead of 64KiB.
- PT7A7514WE is handled by hardware-assited system LED output
(blinking).
- Some Japanese users asked to XikeStor about maximum power limit of
SFP+ ports and got approximate criteria:
- per port : <= 2.9 W
- total (8 ports): <= 15.8 W
MAC addresses:
eth0 : 84:E5:D8:xx:xx:37 (board-info (stock:"flash_raw"), 0x218 (hex))
(ports): 84:E5:D8:xx:xx:36 (board-info (stock:"flash_raw"), 0x1f1 (hex))
Reverting to stock firmware:
1. Prepare OpenWrt SDK to use the mkfs.jffs2 tool contained in it
Note: the official mkfs.jffs2 tool in mtd-utils doesn't support 4KiB
erase size and not usable for SKS8300-8X
2. Create a directory for working
3. Download official firmware for SKS8300-8X from XikeStor's official
website
4. Rename the downloaded firmware to "nos.img" and place it to the
working directory
5. Create a JFFS2 filesystem binary with the working directory
/path/to/mkfs.jffs2 -p -b -U -v -e 4KiB -x lzma \
-o nos.img.jffs2 -d /path/to/working/dir/
6. Upload the created JFFS2 filesystem binary to the device
7. Erase the "firmware" partition
mtd erase firmware
8. Write the JFFS2 filesystem binary to the "firmware" partition
mtd write /path/to/nos.img.jffs2 firmware
9. After writing, reboot the device by power cycle

The ZyXEL XGS1250-12 has a chassis fan. The fan is positioned perfectly to
provide additional cooling to the Aquantia NBase-T phys. Testing has shown
that the phys can reach temperatures upwards of 72 degrees Celsius quite
easily at about 20 degrees Celsius ambient.
Support the chassis fan to give the phys a bit of extra cooling.

Commit daefc646e6 ("realtek: fix ZyXEL initramfs image generation")
fixed a shell expansion issue with zyxel-vers usage. Commit 045baca10b
("realtek: deduplicate GS1900 recipes") took care of this for the
rtl838x and rtl839x subtargets, but the single device officially
supported in rtl930x - the XGS1250-12 - was overlooked. This commit
updates the XGS1250-12 build recipe as well.

Our current Makefiles a little bit messy and can be improved somewhat,
both in whitespace and in style.

The ZyXEL XGS1250-12 Switch is a 11 + 1 port multi-GBit switch with
8 x 1000BaseT, 3 x 1000/2500/5000/10000BaseT Ethernet ports and
1 SFP+ module slot.
Hardware:
- RTL9302B SoC
- Macronix MX25L12833F (16MB flash)
- Nanja NT5CC64M16GP-1 (128MB DDR3 SDRAM)
- RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the port LEDs
- RTL8218D 8x Gigabit PHY
- Aquantia AQR113c 1/2.5/5/10 Gigabit PHYs
- SFP+ 10GBit slot
Power is supplied via a 12V 2A standard barrel connector. At the
right side behind the grid is UART serial connector. A Serial
header can be connected to from the outside of the switch trough
the airvents with a standard 2.54mm header.
Pins are from top to bottom Vcc(3.3V), TX, RX and GND. Serial
connection is via 115200 baud, 8N1.
A reset button is accessble through a hole in the front panel
At the time of this commit, all ethernet ports work under OpenWRT,
including the various NBaseT modes, however the 10GBit SFP+ slot is not
supported.
Installation
--------------
* Connect serial as per the layout above. Connection parameters: 115200 8N1.
* Navigate to 'Management' in the OEM web interface and click on 'Firmware upgrade'
to the left.
* Upload the OpenWrt initramfs image, and wait till the switch reboots.
* Connect to the device through serial and change the U-boot boot command.
> fw_setenv bootcmd 'rtk network on; boota'
* Reboot, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp, verify the checksum and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl930x-zyxel_xgs1250-12-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
* Upon reboot, you have a functional OpenWrt installation. Leave the bootcmd
value as is - without 'rtk network on' the switch will fail to initialise
the network.
Web recovery
------------
The XGS1250-12 has a handy web recovery that will load when U-boot does
not find a bootable kernel. In case you would like to trigger the web
recovery manually, partially overwrite the firmware partition with some
zeroes:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd5 bs=1M count=2
If you have serial connected you'll see U-boot will start the web recovery
and print it's listening on 192.168.1.1, but by default it seems to be on
the OEM default IP for the switch - 192.168.1.3. The web recovery only
listens on HTTP (80) and *not* on 443 (HTTPS) unlike the web UI.
Return to stock
---------------
You can flash the ZyXEL firmware images to return to stock:
# sysupgrade -F -n XGS1250-12_Firmware_V1.00(ABWE.1)C0.bix
