Airlink AR690w switch driver non-functional

[btechnet]

It looks like the switch (RTL8366S) is being loaded on startup, but when connected with rj-45 the lights never lite, and a connection is never establish. The only line of code showing up using a serial inteface is: Rtl8366 Phy Init...<0>decode /dev/mtdblock4.

we need to the gpio which are used to access the switch. this is what we need to know. the problem is that this is not easy to accomplish. there are several ways to get the info we need.
-disassemble the original binary switch driver if we could get it -from the gpl sources (that dont exist) -from a project that already supports this unit

The RT_2880 reference design and the RT_2880 SDK has:

#define smi_SCK 2 /* GPIO used for SMI Clock Generation */ #define smi_SDA 1 /* GPIO used for SMI Data signal */

for the RT2880 <-> RTL8366SR.

Asus RT-N15 and TP-Links RT2880/RTL8366SR boards are also using those, try them in next build if not already tried.

I provided the correct gpio's 2 weeks ago, what is the problem now?

Hi LOM, soory about the delay...i forgott to inform BS. can u plz add the info here, too?.

smi_SDA = (1 << 3) ie gpio3 smi_SCLK = (1 << 4) ie gpio4 RTL8366_Reset = (1 << 5) ie gpio5

from which location did you got your information. the reference design from ralink has nothing todo with this device.

The gpios's are from the stock firmware as I mentioned when I sent you the info in email 24/10.

i found your email and answered. i guess i can provide a test build with your settings in some minutes. i will send it to you with email and i hope it will work

next release might work. i tested the new driver on another device. so if the SDA and SCLK data is correct, it will work
