Introduction

Edgecore AS5114-48X is a managed network switch featuring a quad-core Cortex-A72 64-bit SoC, 48x 10G SFP+ network ports.

Building

To build firmware for the AS5114-48X using Replica.one, first clone the main repository as described in docs/QUICKSTART.md.

Next, invoke the build process using make:

make CTARGET=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu package_as5114-48x

Sample (cached) build can be seen here:

Firmware

A successful build will generate the following files in the output/ directory:

  • gentoo-arm64-edgecore-as5114-48x-onie.img — ONIE-compatible firmware disk image
  • gentoo-arm64-edgecore-as5114-48x-rootfs.tar.gz — a snapshot of the root filesystem for debugging purposes
  • sysdesc-arm64-edgecore-as5114-48x.txt — a description of the system installation, including installed packages, package sizes, list of root filesystem contents, etc.

Flashing

The gentoo-arm64-edgecore-as5114-48x-onie.img raw disk image is pre-formatted and can be copied over onto a flash drive for easy installation using the ONIE installer.
