LS1043A as network switch using OpenWRT

Hello NXP,

I connected VSC8531 and VSC8575 PHYs to an LS1043A chip to create a 6-port media server running on OpenWRT. I tried to configure one port as WAN and the rest of the ports as 5-port switch. Did you have a guide on how to achieve this? Currently, each port is configured independently, as if an individual network card on a PC.

Kind regards,

Carlos

There is no dedicated support in LSDK to L2 bridging for processors equipped
with DPAA1. You can use the kernel L2 bridge, which is a pure software
implementation and should work with any generic Ethernet interface driver.
Details on the kernel native Ethernet bridge can be found at this link.
For hardware-accelerated bridging, consider moving to a DPAA2 processor,
LS1088, LS2088, LX2160 and their derivatives.

Best Regards,
Platon

Hi @bpe Platon,

Haven't really thanked you on this.

Thank you very much.
