This repository serves as a well selected collection of Realtek SOC/PHY/NIC documentation and source. Focus is on the Otto platform with
- RTL838x (maple)
- RTL839x (cypress)
- RTL930x (longan)
- RTL931x (mango)
- RTL9311B (tigershark)
- RTL9330 (bumblebee)
- RTL960x (apollo).
Overview
- SOC Roadmap for the Realtek switch platform
- NIC Roadmap for the Realtek PHYs & NICs

What RTK (development kit) we have
- Some fragments from the TP-Link BE550 GPL. It has several drivers for Realtek PHYs that are mainly used on non-Realtek platforms. Download from https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/
- The most recent SDK from 2022 is based on the D-Link DMS-1250 GPL source. It contains a lot of modern PHY code for RTL8218E, RTL8224, RTL8261 and RTL8264. Download from https://tsd.dlink.com.tw/GPL.asp
- An older SDK from 2016 is based on the Zyxel XGS1210-12 GPL source. It contains code for a totally unknown RTL8284 PHY. Download can be requested from https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/form/gpl-oss-software-notice
- The very recent SDK from 2023 is based on the Cudy GP3000 GPL source. It contains code for RTL960x and Cortina chips. Download from https://www.cudy.com/pages/download-center/gp3000-1-0
- The Zyxel XMG-1915 U-Boot SDK was added because it includes some very special serdes setup for RTL930x. See here
- Same goes for the Trendnet TEG-7124WS SDK. It is basically the same as the DMS-1250 but adds special handling for Broadcom PHY. See here
- The TP-Link SG3210X download contains not much source code but the register definitions about the newer chipsets RTL9311B and RTL9330. For register maps see here and here
