Linux/66AK2E05: Running iPerf for Network load testing

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: 66AK2E05

Hi,

I need to connect TI Keystone 66AK2E05 1Gb ethernet port to another device and perform a network load stress test. For this, I am using iPerf (https://iperf.fr/ ).TI Keystone's linux is Arago linux. iPerf has binaries to download for Ubuntu, Debian etc Linux. So, I am unable to download iPerf binary for TI Linux.

Also, iPerf provides source code files but I cannot build it(make) as I have to install build-essential package for it.What is the way to install the build-essential package?

Please let me know how to run iPerf in TI linux?

    Hi Aswini,

    Let me test this on my side.
    Which Linux SDK are you using?

    Hi Aswini,

    Iperf is included in the TI Linux SDK. I tested this on two of my boards, running two different versions of the TISDK:

    K2G, running ti-processor-sdk-linux-k2g-evm-03.03.00.04:

    root@k2g-evm:~# iperf --help
    Usage: iperf [-s|-c host] [options]
    iperf [-h|--help] [-v|--version]
    ...........
    root@k2g-evm:~# uname -a
    Linux k2g-evm 4.4.41-gf9f6f0db2d #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 30 01:28:35 EDT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux
    root@k2g-evm:~#

    K2H, running ti-processor-sdk-linux-k2hk-evm-03.02.00.05:

    root@k2hk-evm:~# iperf --help
    Usage: iperf [-s|-c host] [options]
    iperf [-h|--help] [-v|--version]
    ...........
    root@k2hk-evm:~# uname -a
    Linux k2hk-evm 4.4.32-gadde2ca9f8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 14 19:17:23 EST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
    root@k2hk-evm:~#

    Linux SDK for K2E is the same, and I saw it has the iperf binary in /usr/bin. 

    Best Regards,
