Topic: Gigabit EThernet AR8035 problems on OpenWRT

The content of this topic has been archived on 24 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have read on the followling ticket on AR8035 problem:

https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/12293

and studied the driver source code:

MY conclusion so far is that the driver AG71xx and its related ARCH AR71xx cause the problems, and create high error rate on some reality scenario (just as long cable).

The only solution, as I believe, is to make new AG7100 and ARCH AR7100 that are closed to the original from Atheros.

But the issues will become rather complicated, since it changes totally the AR71XX and AG71XX.

Thanks

Hi,
     my board is Atheros DB120,hardware : AR9344+AR9382+AR8035,
     the problem I meet is: the Db120 which Openwrt defaultly support is AR9344+AR9382+AR8327switch, it is mean that my             testbed is a custom board.
     so I need to custom my setup code for my board, and the file is arch/mips/ath79/mach-db120.c

      Could you help me resolve this issue? I need your help.
