Netgear GS308Tv1

The GS308Tv1 is a 8-port Gigabit L2 switch with fan-less design.

• RTL8380M SoC
• Winbond W25Q256JVFQ (32MB flash)
• Winbond W631GG8MB (128MB DDR3 SDRAM)
• RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the port LEDs, system LED and a reset button.

Power is supplied via a 12V 1A barrel connector.

A Serial header is found at J1. Pins are Vcc(3.3V, Square), TX, RX and GND. Serial connection is via 115200 baud, 8N1.

• J1.1: VCC, 3.3V (square pad)
• J1.2: RX
• J1.3: TX
• J1.4: GND

The switch ships with a bootloader based on Realtek's SDK for RTL83xx SoCs and Linux based on Realtek's SDK. It has a web interface for basic management, including firmware updates. The board identifies as RTL8393M_DEMO. But this is misleading. The SoC chip id is 83806800, which is RTL8380M_CHIP_ID according to sdk/include/hal/chipdef/chip.h in Realtek's SDK.

U-Boot is used as bootloader for this device, and has access to a modifiable u-boot-env partition. This can be used to store modified and custom environment variables.

Some realtek-specific commands are also available:

• rtk network on: Configure the ethernet hardware inside the bootloader (not enabled on boot).
