The default management interface should be easy to find for users
doing "blind" installations without console access. There are
already multiple examples in the forum of advanced early adopters
having problems locating the management interface after installing
OpenWrt.
Requiring tagged VLAN configration to access the initial management
interface creates unnecessary hassle at best. Errors on the other
end are close to impossible to debug without console access, even
for advanced users. Less advanced users might have problems with
the concept of VLAN tagging.
Limiting management access to a single arbitrary port among up to
52 possible LAN ports makes this even more difficult, for no
reason at all. Users might have reasons to use a different port
for management. And they might even have difficulties using the
OpenWrt selected one. The port might be the wrong type for their
management link (e.g copper instead of fibre). Or they might
depend on PoE power from a device which they can't reconfigure.
User expectations will be based on
- OpenWrt defaults for other devices
- stock firmware default for the device in question
- common default behaviour of similar devices
All 3 cases point to a static IP address accessible on the native
VLAN of any LAN port. A switch does not have any WAN port. All
ports are LAN ports.
This changes the default network configuration in line with these
expectations.

+ GND
+ TX

Installation
------------
OEM upgrade method:
(Possible on master once https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20210624210408.19248-1-bjorn@mork.no/ is merged)
* Log in to OEM management web interface
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Management
* If "Active Image" has the first option selected, OpenWrt will need to be
flashed to the "Active" partition. If the second option is selected,
OpenWrt will need to be flashed to the "Backup" partition.
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Upload
* Upload the openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-initramfs-kernel.bin
file by your preferred method to the previously determined partition.
When prompted, select to boot from the newly flashed image, and reboot the switch.
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
it may be necessary to restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) on
the running initramfs image.
U-Boot TFTP method:
* Configure your client with a static 192.168.1.x IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10).
* Set up a TFTP server on your client and make it serve the initramfs image.
* Connect serial, power up the switch, interrupt U-boot by hitting the
space bar, and enable the network:
> rtk network on
* Since the GS1900-24HPv2 is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the OEM
firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can only boot
from the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the DTS). To make sure we are
manipulating the first partition, issue the following commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x84f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
it may be necessary to restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) on
the running initramfs image.

The Netgear GS308T v1 is an 8 port gigabit switch. The GS310TP v1 is an 8
port POE+ gigabit switch with 2 SFP Ports (currently untested).
The GS308T v1 and GS310TP v1 are quite similar to the Netgear GS1xx
devices already supported. Theses two devices use the same Netgear
firmware and are very similar to there corresponding GS1xx devices. For
this reason they share a large portion of the device tree with the GS108T
and GS110TP with exception of the uimage magic and model and compatible
values.
All of the above feature a dual firmware layout, referred to as Image0
and Image1 in the Netgear firmware.
In order to manipulate the PoE+ on the GS310TP v1 , one needs the
rtl83xx-poe package
Specifications (GS308T)
----------------------
* RTL8380M SoC, 1 MIPS 4KEc core @ 500MHz
* 128MB DDR3-1600 DRAM (Winbond W631GG8MB-12)
* 32MB 3v NOR SPI Flash (Winbond W25Q256JVFQ)
* RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button
* 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, internal PHY (RTL8218B)
* UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1
* Power is supplied via a 12V 1A barrel connector
Specifications (GS310TP)
----------------------
* RTL8380M SoC, 1 MIPS 4KEc core @ 500MHz
* Nuvoton M0516LDN for controlling PoE
* 128MB DDR3-1600 DRAM (Winbond W631GG8MB-12)
* 32MB 3v NOR SPI Flash (Winbond W25Q256JVFQ)
* RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the LEDs and the reset button
* 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, 2 x Gigabit SFP ports,
internal PHY (RTL8218B)
* UART (115200 8N1) via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header marked J1
* Power is supplied via a 54V 1.25A barrel connector
Both devices have UART pinout
-----------
J1 | [o]ooo
^ ||`------ GND
| |`------- RX [TX out of the serial adapter]
| `-------- TX [RX into the serial adapter]
`---------- Vcc (3V3) [the square pin]
The through holes are filled with PB-free solder which melts at 375C.
They can also be drilled using a 0.9mm bit.
Installation
------------
Instructions are identical to those for the similar Negear devices
and apply both to the GS308T v1 and GS310TP v1 as well.
-------------------
Boot initramfs image from U-Boot
--------------------------------
1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt
2. Init network with `rtk network on` command
3. Load image with `tftpboot 0x8f000000
openwrt-realtek-generic-netgear_gs308t-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin` command
4. Boot the image with `bootm` command
The switch defaults to IP 192.168.1.1 and tries to fetch the image via
TFTP from 192.168.1.111.
Updating the installed firmware
-------------------------------
The OpenWRT ramdisk image can be flashed directly from the Netgear UI.
The Image0 slot should be used in order to enable sysupgrade.
As with similar switches, changing the active boot partition can be
accomplished in U-Boot as follows:
1. Press the Escape key at the `Hit Esc key to stop autoboot` prompt
2. Run `setsys bootpartition {0|1}` to select the boot partition
3. Run `savesys` followed by `boota` to proceed with the boot process

So far, board.d files were having execute bit set and contained a
shebang. However, they are just sourced in board_detect, with an
apparantly unnecessary check for execute permission beforehand.
Replace this check by one for existance and make the board.d files
"normal" files, as would be expected in /etc anyway.
Note:
This removes an apparantly unused '#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common' in
target/linux/bcm47xx/base-files/etc/board.d/01_network

The ZyXEL GS1900-8HP is an 8 port gigabit switch with PoE+ support.
There are two versions on the market (v1 & v2) which share similar
specs (same flash size and flash layout, same RAM size, same PoE+ power
envelope) but have a different case and board layout that they each
share with other GS1900 siblings.
The v1 seems to share its PCB and case with non-PoE GS1900-8; as such,
adding support for the GS1900-8 would probably be trivial. The v2 seems
to share its casing and platform with its already supported bigger
brother, the GS1900-10HP - its board looks the same, except for two
holes where the GS1900-10 has its SFP ports.
Like their 10 port sibling, both devices have a dual firmware layout.
Both GS1900-8HP boards have the same 70W PoE+ power budget. In order to
manipulate the PoE+, one needs the rtl83xx-poe package [1].
After careful consideration it was decided to go with separate images
for each version.
Specifications (v1)
-------------------
* SoC: Realtek RTL8380M 500 MHz MIPS 4KEc
* Flash: Macronix MX25L12835F 16 MiB
* RAM: Nanya NT5TU128M8HE-AC 128 MiB DDR2 SDRAM
* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbit
* PoE+: Broadcom BCM59111KMLG (IEEE 802.3at-2009 compliant, 2x)
* UART: 1 serial header with populated standard pin connector on the
left side of the PCB, towards the bottom. Pins are labeled:
+ VCC (3.3V)
+ TX
+ RX
+ GND
Specifications (v2)
-------------------
* SoC: Realtek RTL8380M 500 MHz MIPS 4KEc
* Flash: Macronix MX25L12835F 16 MiB
* RAM: Samsung K4B1G0846G 128 MiB DDR3 SDRAM
* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbit
* PoE+: Broadcom BCM59121B0KMLG (IEEE 802.3at-2009 compliant)
* UART: 1 angled serial header with populated standard pin connector
accessible from outside through the ventilation slits on the
side. Pins from top to bottom are clearly marked on the PCB:
+ VCC (3.3V)
+ TX
+ RX
+ GND
Serial connection parameters for both devices: 115200 8N1.
