Specifications
==============
- SoC: RTL9302C
- Flash: 32 MiB SPI NOR flash
- RAM: 256 MiB
- Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps (RTL8224)
- PoE: 802.3 af/at/bt on 8x RJ45 ports
- 60W per port, 130W total budget
- SFP: 2x SFP+ cages
- UART: 1x 4 pins serial header, 115200 bauds, 8n1, 3.3v logic levels,
pinout: unused (top), TX, RX, GND (bottom)
- Buttons: 1x "Restore" button, 1x "LED mode" button
MAC address
===========
Single MAC address derived from board partition with vendor-specific
format. MAC address is 70:49:a2:xx:xx:xx and applied to all switch
ports.
PoE
===
PoE is supported by realtek-poe package. To make it work, additional
options in the realtek-poe configuration file /etc/config/poe must be
set:
config globals
option force_baudrate '115200'
option force_dialect 'realtek'
Disclaimer
==========
Flashing OpenWrt will overwrite BootExtension + ZyNOS. BootExtension
functionality is not available anymore then. The U-boot/Bootbase still
has some limited functionality which can be used in emergency cases.
Installation
============
Simple web upgrade:
1. Take the OpenWrt factory.bin image generated by the build.
2. In the ZyNOS web UI, login and go to Maintenance -> Firmware Upgrade.
3. Under "Boot Image", make sure the Config Boot Image is set to 1. In
other words, make sure the switch booted from firmware image 1 or it
will do so on next reboot.
This is crucial, otherwise OpenWrt cannot boot.
4. Below, select and upload the factory.bin image. After clicking
upgrade, the image will be flashed.
5. After flashing has finished, reboot the switch. It will now boot into
OpenWrt.
U-Boot
======
This device ships with U-boot masked as Bootbase. After the device is
powered, a DRAM test is performed. Spamming $ during that test will drop
you into a shell after test finished. You'll have a limited command set
at first.
Unlocking the shell with [1] or [2] will give you a normal U-boot
command set. From here, you can perform initramfs boot or recovery.
Initramfs boot:
> loady 0x82000000 + go 0x82000000
Recovery:
> upgradeY image2 0x82000000 115200
Return to stock firmware
========================
1. Download the firmware for the switch from Zyxel website.
2. Unzip the download, there should be a .bin file with a alphanumeric
name.
3. Upload this file to running OpenWrt.
4. Run (use -F since the image doesn't have image metadata):
> sysupgrade -F <stock-firmware>.bin
5. Wait for the sysupgrade to succeed and the switch reboot. At the next
boot, ZyNOS should come up again.

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.
