Hello, I work on a cutom MPC8541 board with Linux 2.6.9. The kernel activates the L1 cache (instructions and data) and the L2 cache (entirely used as cache and not as sram).
I configure 1 FCC (FCC1), 2 TSECs with or without NAPI (no effect) but without stashing in L2 sram. All PHYs are automatically configured in 100MB full duplex. eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 00:10:cd:48:48:e0 eth0: Running with NAPI disabled eth0: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size eth1: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 00:10:cd:48:48:e1 eth1: Running with NAPI disabled eth1: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size eth2: FCC ENET Version custom, 00:10:cd:48:48:e2 Then I launch 3 simple TCP servers, one on each ports. >From remote machines I runs 3 TCP clients. The client sends messages of 1000 bytes, The server receives and echoes the message The client receives the echoed message, check the content and sends a new message again. The result is that the 2 TSECs are 2 times slower than the FCC. If I run a "top" application on the board, I use less than 10% of the CPU Each port consumes about 1/3 of the CPU. Any idea on how to configure the gianfar driver ? Thanks Laurent
