The GS308Tv1 is a 8-port Gigabit L2 switch with fan-less design.
Hardware
- 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.
Board details
Pin-outs
SoC UART
- J1.1: VCC, 3.3V (square pad)
- J1.2: RX
- J1.3: TX
- J1.4: GND
Firmware
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.
