Enabling the Ethernet Switch on LS1028ARDB

I am trying to follow this documentation to enable the Switch on the LS1028ARDB:

https://docs.nxp.com/bundle/GUID-C3A436DA-E944-4F73-9811-2335DEBD04D6/page/GUID-558A9D18-5FA4-4E88-B428-B306849225A2.html

All mentioned commands fail with the same error message:

root@localhost:~# restool dpsw create --num-ifs=5 --max-vlans=16 --max-fdbs=1 --options="DPSW_OPT_CTRL_IF_DIS" error: Did not find a device file

The documentation also contains this line:

The following section describes the main commands to create a switch starting from the dpl-eth.0x2A_0x41.dtb DPL file.

Is there any description what this file is, where to find it, how to use it?

restool and DPL files are valid only for devices equipped with DPAA2. LS1028A does not have it. Study this section of LSDK online documentation on how to work with LS1028A on-chip switch.

Hope this helps

Thanks, I will try this.

Is there any way to know which parts of this very long document are relevant for which boards?
