I think CX30 has EN7523 and HX30 has EN7529. But it doesnt reallt matter as it is the same architecture just different pinout.

@merbanan, @Gemnon, and @lilmayofuksu, should we merge the firmware{1, 2} partitions into one partition, keeping only env{1, 2}, art, and firmware?

I would vote for merge, for more free space. (but then heimgard boxes have easy access serial ;))

I will perform the merge on the xx230v and xx530v devices, but I need to know if the other devices will want it

Knowing this, rolling back to the vendor version will depend on the person having made a stock backup of the entire nand/nor before restoring it.

Will do that for the other boxes too only did for CX30. But to be honest not even sure Heimgard connect app still work (the mobile app peoples supposed to set the things up) and if it is still working how long it will, so not much chance i ever want to go back anyway plus last ota dates to end of 2024 (so think updates just stopped when Genexis acquired them)

Keep art as it has relative offsets for wifi calibration. Art will be needed for laser driver calibration also. If art is wiped wifi and optical will not be advisable to use. The other partitions have other stuff in them that might be good to have but can probably be merged.

The partitions that will not be merged are firmware, art, and uboot+atf; the rest will be relocated and/or merged.
for art there will be no change, and for the tplinks it will be a copy of the misc partition where mt76 eeprom, pon bob and tplink config are located.

@merbanan should I keep the prefix an7523, or should I change it to en7523?

I'm asking because the an7581 was renamed, wouldn't it be good if we could rename it on the en7523 as well?

en7523 is the official name used for this soc, it makes sense to use it.

@merbanan

Will the Aura E650 also be added, since we are currently adding 6 devices?

It is the plan but I am working all over the Econet/Airoha hardware space. I dont want to do a half-arsed implementation of it. Right now I am actually making good progress on the NPU. I just need to focus on one thing at the time and real (or is fake?) life eats time also.

I think you will be quite happy if what I am working on pans out.

okay, I'm seeing that some NPU features were recently implemented upstream, which the SDK files I have don't contain, so I'm also lost. I'm also messing around a bit with the EN7523's PPE, it doesn't seem to be working, as the tuples aren't being written, so I still have a lot to do.

Tests between the router and the laptop are showing okay speeds (750-900Mbps up and 709-809Mbps down), but when it comes from one network interface to another, things get very slow. Even with hardware offload enabled, so I'll still be looking into that.

I think you will be quite happy if what I am working on pans out.

having the Ethernet partially working already makes me happy, and some of the things I'm adding are also making me happy. What's bringing me down is my attempts to get pcs/hsgmii working on the EN7523, but they're all failing, and for now I've kind of given up on that part. It's a shame the EN8801 and SFP aren't ready for this Airoha family yet.

Right now I am actually making good progress on the NPU

I also noticed that the NPU initialization is very unstable on the EN7523, sometimes it starts correctly, and other times it freezes during the entire boot process. This usually happens when the network cables are connected to the network switch and there is some network traffic

Yeah, it might be that the NPU needs to start up like the SDK does. We'll see what we can do about that.

@merbanan should we start using kernel 6.18 for testing?

We need to follow openwrt so yes. There will not be any port to 6.12.
