I can comment on the clock speeds reporting incorrectly: this is because your uboot is outdated. You'll also notice that your system clock (in Linux/BORPH) is not ticking at the correct rate.

WRT 10GbE: You can confirm that your 10GbE cores are configured correctly by using the corr.katcp_wrapper.print_10gbe_core_details(mycore) function in the corr package. I suspect a configuration problem for your cores.

Note that the tgtap call was changed earlier this year to fix a string overflow bug. This means that you need the latest corr package and tcpborphserver packages together to correctly configure 10GbE cores. You can't mix 'n match versions. If you use the old stuff you should be fine as long as the path to your 10GbE core (ie complete Simulink block name) was less than 8 characters long.

Hi,

I'm trying to track down why our roach 10GbE is not transmitting. We have this roach configuration from Nov 2009 (in order to be compatible with another roach system - exception: our Uboot version is a bit different). Interestingly, our reported clock numbers at startup are slightly different (see below). Not sure that means anything. Our serial # is something like 2020..

OURS:
CPU: AMCC PowerPC 440EPx Rev. A at 528 MHz (PLB=132, OPB=66, EBC=66 MHz)

From CASPER upgrade notice:
CPU: AMCC PowerPC 440EPx Rev. A at 533.333 MHz (PLB=133, OPB=66, EBC=66 MHz)


After I saw no data transmitting from our custom roach program (using python client and also Wireshark sniffing Myri NIC on XP), I tried using the "old" 10GbE tutorial. I'm not sure if it is _supposed to be able to run with our configuration, but it gets as far as trying to send and receive data. Unfortunately, no data is transmitted and the output buffer overflows (see below) - like it's not being clocked(?)

Any suggestions on what to check next?

Thanks -

Steve
