HUA Demo Benchmark Test

Hello again,

and also to mention I followed the steps on the following guide:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_HUA_Demonstration_Guide#Troubleshooting

Best regards,

Burak

Can you please post what is seen on the console window of the CCS when the executable starts and when this test runs.

Can you try to power cycle the EVM and run the gel ‘Global Default Setup’ before loading the executable. And then try the TCP receive benchmark test. I could run it on C6678 EVM. The output is produced on the CCS console.

Ok, so here are the console outputs. I loaded first the gel file, performed the global setup function. Afterwards I loaded the hua(whatever).out file on the core 0. And this is what I get:

And at the web browser it says "sending TCP packets" and nothing happens. I also turned the firewall off just in case. In comparison to this when I run the TCP transmit demo I get:

And also to mention, I use OFF (little endinan) ON ON ON -- ON ON ON ON -- ON ON ON ON -- ON ON ON ON -- ON OFF (static ip) ON ON  as switch cfg.

What do you mean with power cycle by the way??? the system reset button on CCS???

Thanks for the info. I tried this :

Disconnect Core 0 in CCS.

Press both the reset button on EVM.

Reconnect to core 0  in CCS

Run gel – ‘Global default setup’ on Core 0.

Load the HUA executable

Run the TCP receive benchmark

Hope this helps. 

What do you mean with "Press both the reset button on evm". BOTH??? And after I disconnected and reset the board I couldnt connect again in the debug mode.

Yes. I tried this is for C6678 EVM. If in doubt, power cycle the EVM. Then launch the ‘target configuration’ again in CCS. Connect to core and run the gel. And then test TCP receive benchmark.

WHAT IS POWER CYCLE??? And I monitored with Wireshark the network, so there is a ongoing traffic when the demo is running but nothing on the console or web app.

Hi Varada,

can you provide me the ".out" file you are using. So I can test it. Maybe it is a software issue.

Regards

Burak

Hi Varada,

I made an interesting observation. If I set a breakpoint to the entry of the TCP_perform_receive function in benchmark.c which performs the tcp receive test, it runs until completion and the results are shown in the console but not at the web app! If I perform the same procedure with the same settings but without breakpoints it freezes at the start  of the function!

Regards

Burak

I tried with the HUA demo release executable, that is in “..\mcsdk_2_01_00_02\demos\hua\evmc6678l\Release\”

 I will try the same test with the breakpoint as you mention and update you.

 During the ‘TCP receive test’ – I too see that the Webpage does not update but the program completes on the console.

 By power cycle – I meant ‘turning the EVM OFF and then ON’, by removing power.

 Regards,

Varada

Hi Varada,

        I want to test the data  transmission rate between C6678  EVM and PC. Here i have some questions to consult you.

Hope you can help me.

 1. I run the hua demo according to your directions. And the console window prints the following information.

[C66xx_0] QMSS successfully initialized
[C66xx_0] CPPI successfully initialized
[C66xx_0] PA successfully initialized
[C66xx_0] HUA version 2.00.00.04
[C66xx_0] Setting hostname to tidemo-CE3530

[C66xx_0] EVM in StaticIP mode at 192.168.2.100
[C66xx_0] Set IP address of PC to 192.168.2.101

[C66xx_0] Ethernet subsystem successfully initialized

[C66xx_0] Service Status: THTTP    : Enabled  :          : 000

        Then i opened  the web brower and entered  the EVM IP address. I ran the UDP receive benchmark. But the web page

HI Varada,

        My situation is the same with Burak. I run hua demo on C6678 EVM . During the  TCP receive test, the webpage doesn't

update and the program doesn't complete either. I power cycle the board,but it doesn't work. Could you give me some suggestions?

        In the TCP trasmit test, the transmission rate is 5Mb/s. I think it  is too low even though my PC only supports 100Mbps mode.

Could you tell me the rate  you get in  TCP trasmit test ?

        According to the direction at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_HUA_Demonstration_Guide#Troubleshooting,

there should be two PCs in TCP test ,one running IPERF and one running CCS.  Why? It is OK if i run IPERF and CCS on the same PC,right?

       Hope you can help me. I am looking forward to your reply.

Nuoxi
