Re: [microblaze-uclinux] MicroBlaze MMU support test release now available



Hi John,

Here is an update on petalinux-mmu-v0.10 network testing.  I noticed
that there were quite a few kernel debug options enabled in
petalinux-mmu-v0.10.  I disabled all of them and that brought the
transfer rates in line with BlueCat.  I can still not get PC ->
microblaze UDP transfers to work.  They no longer hang or panic
petalinux though.  Any idea what may be wrong with UDP?  I also
attempted to test with the non-MMU petalinux-v0.30-rc1.  The nuttcp
tool does not work very well on uClinux due to it's extensive use of
fork().  Here is an update of what I sent earlier:

I did some further network testing of petalinux-mmu-v0.10.  I used the
nuttcp network testing tool to test unidirectional TCP and UDP traffic.
For all tests, I ran the server on the MicroBlaze with the "nuttcp -S"
command.  For the tests over Ethernet, I ran the client on a PC with
a 100BASE-T NIC connected directly to the MicroBlaze board with a
crossover cable.  For the loopback device test, I ran the client on
the MicroBlaze.  I used the Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP S3D1800A board
running Xilinx's MicroBlaze reference design for this board with the
CPU clock at 62.5 MHz.  Here are the tests I ran using the same FPGA
bitstream for two OS's:

Test                        petalinux-mmu-v0.10   BlueCat 2.4.2   Ratio
-------------------------   -------------------   -------------   -----
TCP/IP : PC <- microblaze    7.2298 Mbps           7.7408 Mbps    1.071
TCP/IP : PC -> microblaze    3.7588 Mbps           3.7754 Mbps    1.004
UDP/IP : PC <- microblaze    3.7475 Mbps           3.9464 Mbps    1.053
UDP/IP : PC -> microblaze    0.0000 Mbps           4.9938 Mbps    -----
TCP/IP : loopback device    14.7774 Mbps          15.3766 Mbps    1.041
UDP/IP : loopback device    11.3837 Mbps          11.6176 Mbps    1.021

The client commands I used on the PC for the first four tests are:

Test                        Command
-------------------------   -------------------------------------
TCP/IP : PC <- microblaze   nuttcp -r -T60 10.25.1.201
TCP/IP : PC -> microblaze   nuttcp -t -T60 10.25.1.201
UDP/IP : PC <- microblaze   nuttcp -r -u -T60 -Ri100m 10.25.1.201
UDP/IP : PC -> microblaze   nuttcp -t -u -T60 -Ri5000 10.25.1.201

The client commands I used on the MicroBlaze for the last two tests are:

Test                        Command
-------------------------   ---------------------------------
TCP/IP : loopback device    nuttcp -T60 127.0.0.1
UDP/IP : loopback device    nuttcp -u -T60 -Ri1000m 127.0.0.1

There is no transfer time for "UDP/IP : PC -> microblaze" on PetaLinux
since I can not get it to receive UDP traffic no matter what nuttcp
options I try to rate limit, etc.

Thanks,
Bob
