Zyxel XGS1210-12 and XGS1010-12
The XGS1210-12 and XGS1010-12 are 10 + 2-port Multi-Gigabit L3 switch. They have 8 Gigabit ports, 2 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP+ 10GBit uplink cages.
The XGS1210-12 and XGS1010-12 only seem to differentiate in user-facing software, the hardware seems to be identical.
Hardware
- RTL9302B SoC
- Macronix MX25L12833F (16MB flash)
- Nanja NT5CC64M16GP-1 (128MB DDR3 SDRAM)
- RTL8231 GPIO extender to control the port LEDs
- RTL8218D 8x Gigabit PHY
- 2 RTL8226 2.5 Gigabit PHYs
2 Uplink ports are SFP+ cages which support 10GBit Base-X mini GBIC modules.
Power is supplied via a 12V 1.5A standard barrel connector. At the right side behind the grid is UART serial connector. A Serial header can be connected to from the outside of the switch trough the airvents with a standard 2.54mm header. Pins are from top to bottom Vcc(3.3V), TX, RX and GND. Serial connection is via 115200 baud, 8N1.
Board details
Firmware
It ships with a u-boot bootloader (U-Boot Version V1.0.0.1 (Oct 14 2019 - 17:51:23)) based on Realtek's SDK for RTL93xx SoCs and Linux 3.18 based on Realtek's SDK 3.x. It has a web interface for all management functions.

OpenWrt Support
There is experimental OpenWrt support: the device boots and the Ethernet and switch driver function. The 1 and 2.5 GBit ports work, but not the SFP+ cages. No GPIO support so far.
