Realtek RTL8181

The Realtek RTL8181 is a highly integrated System-on-a-Chip with a high-performance 32-bit RISC microcontroller, two Ethernet MACs and a WLAN 802.11b controller embedded onto a single chip. RTL8181P BGA version has a PCI Bridge which supports one external PCI/MiniPCI device.

The embedded Lexra LX5280 32-bit RISC CPU runs at up to 200MHz and features separate 8KB instruction and data caches.

Devices are based on the RTL8181:

Firmware

Most of the RTL8181-based devices comes with a simple bootloader and Linux as firmware. See the Minitar sourcecode and RTL8181-linux project. Seems, RTL8181 shares some code with ADM5120. They both use CSYS header format and some applications (i.e. setup), but RTL8181 firmware is Big-Endian.

AP Router firmware for Ovislink 1120

There is APPro firmware available (ONLY !! for Planet WAP-1963A and Ovislink 1120 - see README) here.

RTL8186 JTAG

RTL8186 supports MIPS EJTAG 2.0:

  • ManufID: 6
  • PartNumber: 5280
33  - JTAG_TDI 
8   - JTAG_TMS 
146 - JTAG_TRSTN 
116 - JTAG_TDO 
145 - JTAG_TCK (shared with WLAN LED 1)
147 - JTAG ENABLE (must set to High)

Realtek RTL8180

Don't confuse the RTL8181 with the RTL8180. It's just plain WLAN 802.11b chip, that also happens to be the one embedded on the RTL8181.

Realtek RTL8186

The RTL8186 (datasheet) is a SoC with integrated MIPS core Lexra LX5280 32-bit RISC, two UARTs, two Ethernet MACs, 4xPCM audio channels, IPSec crypto engine and a WLAN 802.11g controller.
