EN2505 card causes PC to hang.
by Kameswara Avasarala 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hi, I have plugged in an EN-2505 evaluation board into a PII PC running RedHat 7.3 . I was expecting to see the 2155 PCI-PCI bridge listed in the ouput of the lspci command. However, it was not detected. The same card when plugged in a PIII with RedHat 7.2 casued the PC to hang ie it did not boot. What are the reasons for the above behaviour ? 1) There is no software/OS running on the board (except for the System Moniter). The switch SW1301 is set as 001 (System Moniter) . 2) The switch SW0201's bit 1 is on for Slave mode operation and the bus width not 64 bits. All the other bits are default values. Thanks, Kamesh.

microC compile problem
by Maruti G Gupta 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Hi, We are trying to write a program in microC using the IXP developer's workbench. In the process we used some intrinsic functions from the library provided called ua_get_u8() and ua_get_u16() and included the header file ixp.h. However, we get a compiler error saying function __shr_64 not found . The function does not seem to exist anywhere in the include/ or even in the files and subfolders under the IXP1200/ directory and we haven't yet found a file containing an implementation of it either. Please, does anyone have a fix for this problem ? thanks, Maruti

port #3 in half duplex mode
by Najati Imam 12 Mar '03

Is there any reason port #3 on my ixp1200 is only running in half duplex mode? Is there some system setting that tells the ports what mode to run in. Its not the wires or the switch the 1200 is attached to, so I've deduced that its he boards fault. Najati

The resource manager polls all the ME to core rings at regular intervals. A look at the thread.c file in the src/microace/common/resource_manager/driver directory will help. -- Shyamal Pandya Cogito, ergo sum!

If we use Resource Manager in MicroACE, there is a ring buffer between them and the Microengine puts data into it. How does the Resource manager know there is a packet in the buffer? by polling or interrupt? Thanks. -- Li Zhao Dept. of Computer Science Univ. of California, Riverside Tel:1-909-787-2001

[VERA] Libixprouter
by Bonelli Nicola 07 Mar '03

hi Zuki, Yes the hello-world works fine. I'm quite sure that something goes wrong within the Control_SystemStart. In particular, removing the Int_Init() the Control_SystemStart() ends correctly, the following Fmt_print()s are not truncated and the strongARM doesn't hang. Yes, I think it's an interrupt issue we have to address. The jumpers setting is correct, according to the README.jumpers.txt. Unfortunately our lab is not skilled enough in advanced cs-issues since we are telecom engineers. I don't know howto fix this matter. Again if could give me further advices I would really appreciate your effort. Thanks, Nicola --- Bonelli Nicola bonelli(a)netserv.iet.unipi.it

RE: [ixp1200] MicroEngine C -> segment access?
by Heaton, Eric D 05 Mar '03

Mirko et. al., One more note, the only thing that should affect the programmer was that the IXP12XX Microengine C compiler does not handle splitting a function over the boundary. Consequently, the compiler with error on compilation of a program with, say, 3 large functions of 666 instructions each (even though the total is <2k). However, most people won't run into this sort of thing.. if so, the fix is simply to split up the functions.. --eric h. -----Original Message----- From: Heaton, Eric D [mailto:eric.d.heaton@intel.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 4:05 PM To: 'ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU' Subject: RE: [ixp1200] MicroEngine C -> segment access? Mirko, Crossing the 1k boundary for IXP12XX with 2k control store should be transparent for the programmer. Just remember to set the following switches correctly: -Qrevision_min=n -Qrevision_max=m The version arguments allow the compiler to generate code that will work on a range of processor versions. 1=B0; 3=C0; 5=D0. Use 3 to enable C0 support (2K microcode) in the compiler. Use 5 for the IXP1240 and the IXP1250. Use min and max to set the range of processor versions that the code will run on.
