Developed full device support for the NicGiga S100-0800S-M 8-port 10G SFP+ managed switch in the DragonBluep/openwrt repository, enabling OpenWrt deployment on Realtek RTL9303 hardware. The work involved Linux kernel development in C, with a focus on device tree integration, memory and GPIO configuration, and I2C-based SFP presence detection. Addressed hardware wiring constraints by implementing software-based SFP detection via EEPROM polling and managed per-port LEDs through an I2C expander. Derived the device tree source from a similar platform to ensure maintainability and documented a vendor U-Boot and TFTP-based upgrade process for straightforward firmware installation.

June 2026: NicGiga S100-0800S-M device support implemented for DragonBluep/openwrt, enabling OpenWrt deployment on an 8-port 10G SFP+ managed switch based on Realtek RTL9303. The work includes full device-tree integration, memory/GPIO/I2C configurations, SFP presence detection, LED management, and build-system alignment to ensure reliable firmware builds. The commit fbbc36c13672db97c7ade371c16c1c8ba2b42bd5 adds Realtek RTL9303-based support and derives the DTS from the TL-ST1008F v2, with specifics on MAC address handling, SFP detection via I2C, and LED control.
