MPC5200B memory performance

2007-05-15 Thread Daniel Schnell
Hi, I am doing some memory performance measurements on our custom MPC5200B board which runs on 396 MHz internally and is connected to DDR RAM. The RAM is driven with 132 MHz. With the attached program (compile with -lrt) I am testing the memcpy() throughput. In theory the memory throughput shoul

Hi Mirek, If you think the networking might be the source of the problem maybe try to make a very simple root file system using initramfs to see if you can get the init program (or busybox) working. Just create a file in that looks something like: dir /dev 755 0 0 nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5

Hello Hans, Our problem was with the FEC sending data with one or two incorrect bytes when we switched from the MPC5200 to the MPC5200B. The byte positions were always the same. The socket buffer has the correct data before and after the DMA engine runs but the FEC TxFIFO does not always matc

Hello Hans, There sure seems to be strange behavior in the BestComm unit. Our problem was always with the first byte or the 63rd byte on a buffer of 102 bytes. Did you use a value of (1<<16) for the BSDIS bit? We also do a ioremap when setting a pointer to the xlb. Dave On 5/15/07, Ha

Hello David, In this case, I am flushing cache. And overall, these are empty packets sent which are never changed. The cpu creates this once and then this is always reused. It is received maybe 10 times correct and then suddenly I see an error in the last word. I also tried playing with the
