Ok, we have managed to fix the problem at the IO FPGA level. The updated bitfile will be release on the next VE CD (end of this year), in the meantime interested parties may contact ARM Support in order to get the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

The lock up was caused by SMSC RX FIFO underruns caused by maginal timing issue between SMSC and USB host controller. The hack is enforcing additional wait cycle between accesses. Unfortunately it affects all peripherals, thus the performance penalty. What you observe is, I guess, situation when

Comments! and/or proper symbolic names for those magic numbers would be good for a final patch, of course :) I thought I made this clear - there will be no final patch :-) The entity responsible for SMC configuration is Boot Monitor. This patch is just a hack to confirm (or deny) my theory.

Could anyone give this patch a go? It's just a hack (if I'm right this will have to go to Boot Monitor, not kernel), but it may improve Ethernet stability, potentially at some cost of performance loss. Anyway - let me know. ** Patch added: ve-eth.patch

Hi Pawel, I ran my network tests 10x without any failures, so this patch helps a lot. (The tests would usually fail the first time.) One question, what is this patch actually doing, preventing the transfer lock-up or recovering from a locked up transfer? The reason I ask is the transfer rate

We should raise this with the relevant upstream developer(s). The general feeling seems to be that this is almost certainly a driver issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673820

smdkv310 board uses a smsc9215 ethernet controller. I had similar problem with large file transfers on smdkv310 board (using smsc911x driver). But if SMSC911X_USE_32BIT flag is added to the driver's platform data flags, large file transfers did work. I will debug the issue with 16BIT register/fifo

As said above it rather looks like the SMP problems in the smsc driver. Now, frankly speaking, I totally forgot about this issue, and it looks that I won't have chance to look into it in the nearest time. But, as we have ARM Landing Team now (allegedly ;-) maybe this bug should be assigned to
