Worked on stabilizing WAN connectivity for the Phicomm K2G router in the namiltd/openwrt repository by addressing a device tree configuration issue affecting the RTL8211F PHY. Focused on embedded systems and DTS, the developer delivered a targeted patch that corrected pinmux settings, ensuring the rgmii1 interface could reliably obtain a DHCP lease and pass network traffic. The solution involved clearing the bootloader-preserved GPIO state to select the correct WAN PHY pins, with changes validated through hardware testing. This work laid the foundation for more robust WAN PHY pinmux handling in future RTL8211F-based designs, improving maintainability and preventing regressions.
June 2026 monthly summary for namiltd/openwrt emphasizing WAN reliability fixes for Phicomm K2G and related device-tree/pinctrl adjustments. Delivered a targeted patch enabling rgmii1 pins to drive the RTL8211F PHY on WAN (external switch port 5) so the interface can obtain a DHCP lease and pass traffic. This work is linked to the OpenWrt patch PR23629 and is implemented via a device-tree/pinmux correction that clears GPIOMODE to select rgmii1 as the active WAN PHY. The change was validated on hardware (K2G) with successful DHCP provisioning and traffic flow. Plus, groundwork for more robust WAN PHY pinmux handling to prevent regressions across future RTL8211F-based designs.
