Microchip EV23X71A is a LAN9696 based EVB. Specifications: * CPU: Microchip LAN9696 switch SoC * DRAM: 1GB DDR4 * Storage: * 2MB QSPI NOR * 4GB eMMC * Networking: * 24 x 10/100/1000 RJ45 via LAN8814 Quad PHY-s over QSGMII * 4 x 100/1000/2500/5000/10000 SFP+ ports * 1 x 10/100/1000 management RJ45 via LAN8840 PHY over RGMII (U-Boot too) * USB: 1 x USB2.0 Type-A * Management via USB-C (MCP2200): * UART @ 115200 baud * GPIO-s for bootstrap, reset and clock selection * DIP switch for boostrap configuration * LED-s: * 2 per networking port (Green and Yellow) * Green status LED * Yellow reset LED * Hard reset button * Power: * 12V DC barrel jack * 48/56V DC screw terminal * Selectable via toggle switch * PTP support: * Sync-E DPLL ZL30732B to generate the board required clocks * Two SMAs for PTP and two for Station clock inputs and outputs * Two ITU-T G.8275-compliant RS-422 interfaces for PTP applications * External PoE: * Option for PoE add-on, like EV14Y36A (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Type 4 standard com-pliant) * Option for external CPU control via SPI and PCIe Installation instructions: 1. Connect to UART via the USB-C port 2. Connect the management port 3. Boot and interrupt U-Boot 4. TFTP the OpenWrt initramfs image and boot it 5. SCP the OpenWrt eMMC GPT image to a running OpenWrt initramfs to /tmp openwrt-microchipsw-lan969x-microchip_ev23x71a-squashfs-emmc-gpt.img.gz And decompress it via: gzip -d /tmp/openwrt-microchipsw-lan969x-microchip_ev23x71a-squashfs-emmc-gpt.img.gz 6. Wipe eMMC with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M 7. Flash OpenWrt eMMC image with: dd if=/tmp/openwrt-microchipsw-lan969x-microchip_ev23x71a-squashfs-emmc-gpt.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 After a restart OpenWrt will boot, and then regular sysupgrade can be used for upgrades.

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.
