[casper] build error
Hi all. I'm installing a new incarnation of our build system on a new machine. It's 10.1.03. With a simple roach example, I get the following error: ...

Re: [casper] Fwd: Re: SPDO ROACH spectrometer
Hi Jason, Thank you again for your reply. I can use FTP or even write my own little raw socket transfer routine, and it seems to work, I can transfer a few gigabyte-size files. However, at the end of this, the other problem kicks in; causing a system crash. I believe this is a kernel problem, as it exhibits itself differently with different kernels I have tried. So, putting the ssh problem aside as something that we can work around and returning to the other request I made; I am compiling my own kernel because I seem to need to in order to get EHCI and EXT3 to work properly. However, when I do, EMAC can't autonegotiate a link, and even forcing it to something doesn't work. The link comes up, then drops out again... repeatedly. The interesting thing is this problem *does not* occur when I compile my kernel using an svn checkout from a couple of months ago. Even with the exact same .config file. At least this is the case as far as I can tell. Now, in order to be 100% sure that it is in fact a difference in the source that is causing this problem, rather than just the .config. I would love it if you could send me the .config file used to compile the uImage-20091006-mmcfix kernel. The ethernet interface does appear to be more stable with that kernel, but unfortunately I can't use it as it doesn't allow USB 2.0 speeds, so if you please, the .config file would be very useful. Thanks again for all your help Kjetil Jason Manley wrote: There appears to be some issue with ssh on ROACH with large transfers. It is definitely not a hardware problem as other network transfers work fine. Both Andrew Martens and myself regularly transfer large amounts of data (1GB) using KATCP. This ssh bug has become a low priority for us as we concentrate on other things. If you do not want to try'n debug it yourself, I recommend you try an FTP server. Kjetil, you are correct; at present, KATCP does not support transfer of arbitrary files from filesystem. Jason On 02 Nov 2009, at 00:51, Kjetil Wormnes wrote: Hi Jason, thank you for your reply. The SUN link was very descriptive. Firstly, it appears the problem is still there with the kernel build you suggested/ After a few megabytes, the connection closes telling me; Corrupted MAC on input. But interestingly it seems to have solved another problem that I was having with one of our ROACH boards. It would be great if you could send me the .config file for that build so I can compare it with mine. I have a custom kernel as I like ext3 support and a few other bits and pieces, but have been having some issues getting the network to establish a stable link. Now, back to the problem; We have a locally attached harddrive that we are writing our data to over USB. Occasionally we want to connect and download these. That's why I am using ssh. I can't really use KATCP for this, can I? Thanks again, Kjetil Jason Manley wrote: Um, no, this is probably a different problem. You are getting these errors while using SSH/SCP, right? The hardware problem with faulty PHY manifests as one or more of the PHY LEDs flashing on/ off (there are three red ones next to the PHY chip). If your link is stable, then I believe the hardware is fine. The MAC problem appears to be software related, and comes and goes depending on the kernel build. It does not refer to the MAC address, but rather ssh's Machine Authentication Code. Check out http://blogs.sun.com/janp/entry/ssh_messages_code_bad_packet for some info. Dave's made various changes to try'n fix it, and increasing some software buffer has solved it for me. I no longer see this problem, but it's probably been masked rather than solved. Also, you never see it using KATCP, which is one more reason to use that method for larger transfers. WRT large (1GB) transfers, remember that it will take a long time to pull that much data off the FPGA. It does so in pages of ~4000Bytes at a time. Also make sure you're using the latest kernel. We discovered a bug in this paging system during the workshop. http://casper.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/roach/sw/binaries/linux/uImage-20091006-mmcfix should be good. I have never tried pulling such volumes over the SSH shell, but it works fine with KATCP. I will ask him to comment further.

If I recall correctly, Alan mentioned this problem at the workshop, and the problem was that some of the PHY chips were faulty at one point. This may be what's going on. Hopefully someone knows for sure!

Re: [casper] build error
Hi John, I think this is a permissions error. Did you check out the library or did someone else? The file may have gotten corrupted. I would just try checking out mlib_devel_10_1 from the repository again and see if that helps. I checked it out myself, but i'll try again. Thanks for the idea. i'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow! It seems that our version 11 system is almost ready to go, too. Just have to get system generator properly installed.
