Summary:
The Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway is virtually identical to the
EdgeRouter Lite, with a smaller PCB and apparently a different board identifier.
Simply adding the new board identifier alongside the ERL identifier, FreeBSD
boots successfully, and can access the needed peripherals (tested with USB
booting, and basic pings on one ethernet interface)

options OCTEON_VENDOR_GEFES to enable support for these boards, to
match changes that GE publishes to the Octeon Simple Executive. Since
board types overlap with other boards, it is unlikely that we will
properly boot on other Octeon boards with OCTEON_VENDOR_GEFES enabled.
Tested extensively on the WANIC 6354, but I retained support for all
the other models. Some features need changes in the base kernel, and
those are in progress.
port connected to the Broadcom switch does not seem operable, but it's unclear
if that's simply due to a lack of configuration information for the switch.
The switch does not seem to present any identifying information via MDIO,
and is a BCM56512.
make use of it where possible.
This primarily brings in support for newer hardware, and FreeBSD is not yet
able to support the abundance of IRQs on new hardware and many features in the
Ethernet driver.
Because of the changes to IRQs in the Simple Executive, we have to maintain our
own list of Octeon IRQs now, which probably can be pared-down and be specific
to the CIU interrupt unit soon, and when other interrupt mechanisms are added
they can maintain their own definitions.
Remove unmasking of interrupts from within the UART device now that the
function used is no longer present in the Simple Executive. The unmasking
seems to have been gratuitous as this is more properly handled by the buses
above the UART device, and seems to work on that basis.
o) Add 'octm', a trivial driver for the 10/100 management ports found on some
Octeon systems.
o) Make the Simple Executive's management port helper routines compile on
FreeBSD (namely by not doing math on void pointers.)
o) Add a cvmx_mgmt_port_sendm routine to the Simple Executive to send an mbuf
so there is only one copy in the transmit path, rather than having to first
copy the mbuf to an intermediate buffer and then copy that to the Simple
Executive's transmit ring.
o) Properly work out MII addresses of management ports on the Lanner MR-730.
XXX The MR-730 also needs some patches to the MII read/write routines, but
this is sufficient for now. Media detection will be fixed in the future
when I can spend more time reading the vendor-supplied patches.
facilities as well as support for the Octeon 2 family of SoCs.
XXX Note that with our antediluvian assembler, we can't support some Octeon 2
instructions and fall back to using the old ones instead.
o) Fix enumeration of PHY addresses on the MR-955.
o) Parse link state for the MR-730 using the Broadcom PHY support in the SDK.
It's not clear that this is entirely-correct, but it seems to work. Since
this board uses a BCM5482S, this may mean that we work correctly for copper
but not SFI, which is untested.
the miibus attached to octe interfaces.
o) Add an SMI/MDIO interface to the MV88E61XX and use it for the switch PHY on
the Lanner MR-320. An actual driver for the switch PHY will come later.
Note that for now it intercepts and fakes MII_BMSR reads to prevent the
miibus from talking to anything but the switch itself.
seem to be problems both with the on-board Ethernet interfaces and the em(4)
interfaces on PCI under FreeBSD.
Thanks to Lanner for providing access to hardware.
library:
o) Increase inline unit / large function growth limits for MIPS to accommodate
the needs of the Simple Executive, which uses a shocking amount of inlining.
o) Remove TARGET_OCTEON and use CPU_CNMIPS to do things required by cnMIPS and
the Octeon SoC.
o) Add OCTEON_VENDOR_LANNER to use Lanner's allocation of vendor-specific
board numbers, specifically to support the MR320.
o) Add OCTEON_BOARD_CAPK_0100ND to hard-wire configuration for the CAPK-0100nd,
which improperly uses an evaluation board's board number and breaks board
detection at runtime. This board is sold by Portwell as the CAM-0100.
o) Add support for the RTC available on some Octeon boards.
o) Add support for the Octeon PCI bus. Note that rman_[sg]et_virtual for IO
ports can not work unless building for n64.
o) Clean up the CompactFlash driver to use Simple Executive macros and
structures where possible (it would be advisable to use the Simple Executive
API to set the PIO mode, too, but that is not done presently.) Also use
structures from FreeBSD's ATA layer rather than structures copied from
Linux.
o) Print available Octeon SoC features on boot.
o) Add support for the Octeon timecounter.
o) Use the Simple Executive's routines rather than local copies for doing reads
and writes to 64-bit addresses and use its macros for various device
addresses rather than using local copies.
o) Rename octeon_board_real to octeon_is_simulation to reduce differences with
Cavium-provided code originally written for Linux. Also make it use the
same simplified test that the Simple Executive and Linux both use rather
than our complex one.
o) Add support for the Octeon CIU, which is the main interrupt unit, as a bus
to use normal interrupt allocation and setup routines.
o) Use the Simple Executive's bootmem facility to allocate physical memory for
the kernel, rather than assuming we know which addresses we can steal.
NB: This may reduce the amount of RAM the kernel reports you as having if
you are leaving large temporary allocations made by U-Boot allocated
when starting FreeBSD.
o) Add a port of the Cavium-provided Ethernet driver for Linux. This changes
Ethernet interface naming from rgmxN to octeN. The new driver has vast
improvements over the old one, both in performance and functionality, but
does still have some features which have not been ported entirely and there
may be unimplemented code that can be hit in everyday use. I will make
every effort to correct those as they are reported.
o) Support loading the kernel on non-contiguous cores.
o) Add very conservative support for harvesting randomness from the Octeon
random number device.
o) Turn SMP on by default.
o) Clean up the style of the Octeon kernel configurations a little and make
them compile with -march=octeon.
o) Add support for the Lanner MR320 and the CAPK-0100nd to the Simple
Executive.
o) Modify the Simple Executive to build on FreeBSD and to build without
executive-config.h or cvmx-config.h. In the future we may want to
revert part of these changes and supply executive-config.h and
cvmx-config.h and access to the options contained in those files via
kernel configuration files.
o) Modify the Simple Executive USB routines to support getting and setting
of the USB PID.
Executive is a library that can be used by standalone applications and kernels
to abstract access to Octeon SoC and board-specific hardware and facilities.
The FreeBSD port to Octeon will be updated to use this where possible.
