I'm using a mellanox Infiniband card MT26428 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 5GT/s - IB QDR / 10GigE] with mlnx-ofed-kernel-3.1 on a linux kernel version 3.13.0.
When the card is connected to another one and configured (ibstat said both cards are active in the infiniband link layer), I experimented that every 9 seconds the card send 8 interrupts consisting of 4 pairs of event type MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_COMP and MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_CMD.
I also noticed that If I modify the function mlx4_interrupt code (which is the interrupt handler in the mlnx-ofed-kernel-3.1) to avoid it to handle those two interrupts events, the completion queues are immedialty destroy which directly cause further data transfers on the infiniband card to fail.
My question is what are the purpose of those interrupt events and MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_COMP and MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_CMD and why are they mandatory to keep queue pair available ?
Here are the codes called by each of those interrupt event in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/eq.c
MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_COMP :
cqn = be32_to_cpu(eqe->event.comp.cqn) & 0xffffff;
mlx4_cq_completion(dev, cqn);
MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_CMD :
mlx4_cmd_event(dev, be16_to_cpu(eqe->event.cmd.token), eqe->event.cmd.status, be64_to_cpu(eqe->event.cmd.out_param));

I am using two msp430f5529 with booster pack(trf7970a),I'm making one module to work in special direct mode(as per sloa214,SDM is used to transmit data) and another one module to work in Direct Mode1(DM1) to receive transmitted data from module one. But I'm not able to receive any data.
Below is my tx code.
Mifare_SDM_config();
Mifare_SDM_Enter();
Mifare_SDM_Transmit((unsigned int*)tx_buff,10,1); //here 1 is parity bit
Mifare_SDM_Exit();
and my receiver code.
//Entering DM1 Mifare_DM1_Enter();
Mifare_DM1_Recieve(rx_buff,rx_len,1);//here 1 is parity bit
Mifare_DM1_Exit();
am I missing anything?
This might be a silly mistake from my side that I have overlooked but I'm fairly new to UVM and I tried tinkering with my code for a while before this. I'm trying to send in a stream of 8 bit data within a packet using Data valid stall protocol from my UVM driver to the DUT. I'm facing an issue with my input monitor not being able to pick up these transactions that are driven.
I have a while loop with a condition that the valid bit must be high and the stall bit should be low. As long as this condition holds good, the monitor needs to pick up the data byte and push into the queue. I know for a fact that the data is being picked up and pushed to a queue as I used $display statements along the way. The problem is arising once all the data bytes are received and the valid bit goes low. Ideally, this should cause the exit from the while loop but isn't doing so. Any help here would be appreciated. I have attached a snippet of the code below. Thanks in advance.
virtual task main_phase (uvm_phase phase);
$display("Run phase of input monitor");
collect_transfer();
endtask: main_phase
virtual task collect_transfer();
fork
forever begin
wait_for_valid_transaction_cycle();
create_and_populate_pkt();
broadcast_pkt();
#(iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON);
end
join_none
endtask: collect_transfer
virtual task wait_for_valid_transaction_cycle();
wait(iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_valid && ~iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_stall);
endtask: wait_for_valid_transaction_cycle
virtual task create_and_populate_pkt();
pkt = Router_seq_item :: type_id :: create("pkt");
pkt.valid = iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_valid;
pkt.sop = iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_sop;
$display("before data collection");
while(iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_valid === `HIGH && iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_stall === `LOW) begin
$display("After checking for stall");
pkt.data = iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_data;
$display(pkt.data);
pkt.data_q.push_front(pkt.data);
pkt.eop = iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON.ip_eop;
$display("print check in input monitor # time = %0t", $time);
#(iP0_vif.cb_iP0_MON);
end
$display("before printing input packet from monitor");
Check_for_port_route_and_populate_packet_field(pkt);
print_packet(pkt);
endtask: create_and_populate_pkt
The $display statement "before printing input packet from monitor" is not being displayed.
HIGH is defined as a binary 1 and LOW is defined as a binary 0.
The output of the code in terms of display statements is as below.
before data collection
before checking for stall
After checking for stall
2
print check in input monitor # time = 105

It's possible that the main phase objection is being dropped elsewhere in your environment. UVM will automatically kill any threads that were spawned during a phase when it ends.
To fix this, do not object to the main phase in your monitor. Objecting to that phase is the responsibility of the threads creating the stimulus. Instead, you should be launching this monitor during the run_phase, which will ensure that your loop is not killed until the end of simulation.
Also, during the shutdown phase, you will want your monitor to object whenever it is currently seeing a packet. This will ensure that simulation doesn't end as soon as stimulus has been sent in, giving your other monitors time to collect responses from the DUT.
I am using e (specman) in my project.
I build verification environment for uart.
I have a struct which is like any_sequence_item named uart_frame_s.
I want to add scoreboard for the tx in the uart.
I have the following instance in the uart_tx_agent:
uart_monitor: uart_tx_monitor_u is instance;
Definition of the scoreboard:
unit uart_tx_scoreboard_u like uvm_scoreboard{
scbd_port frame_add : add uart_frame_s;
scbd_port frame_match : match uart_frame_s;
};
I try to connect by:
connect_ports() is also {
uart_monitor.uart_frame_s_started.connect(tx_scb.uart_frame_s_add);
uart_monitor.uart_frame_s_ended.connect(tx_scb.uart_frame_s_match);
};
where:
uart_scb (scoreboard) is instance in uart_tx_agent
Definition of the TLM ports in the monitor:
uart_frame_s_started : out iterface_port of tlm_analysis of uart_frame_s is instance;
uart_frame_s_ended : out iterface_port of tlm_analysis of uart_frame_s is instance;
I get the following errors:
Error: 'uart_monitor' (of 'uart_tx_monitor_u') does not have 'uart_frame_S_started'field....
Error: 'uart_monitor' (of 'uart_tx_monitor_u') does not have 'uart_frame_S_ended'field
from the information that you have provided above, I can conclude the following:
1.the e scoreboard comes with predefined TLM implementation ports that you need to connect the monitor TLM output ports to.It seems like you did not define the TLM ports in your monitor. Pleas define those TLM ports as they are required when connecting to the scoreboard (there are examples for that in the scoreboard documentation).
What I suggest is that as soon as you finish collecting the frame from the bus , emit an event that notifies that a frame was completed (I guess you can call it "uart_frame_s_endded" ), then upon that event emit , send the collected frame to the scoreboard through the Monitor's TLM output ports for add/match. ( I guess 'add' would be appropriate for UART tx).
if the ports are defined, make sure to use the connect_portS() function in a place in the code that the parser will read later than the port definition.
just an FYI:
it seems like you defined the scoreboard from within the Agent. (seems like tx_scbd and uart_monitor are under the same hierarchy.
It is considered 'bad practice' to put a system level component (scoreboard) inside an uVC (which in this case is a UART interface component).
hopw this helps
I am trying to establish a bluetooth serial communication link between a Raspberry Pi Zero W, running Raspbian Jessie [03-07-2017], and an Arduino (UNO).
I am currently able to write data to the Arduino using bluetoothctl.
The application requires that we are able to write data to a particular BLE Slave. There are multiple [HM-10] Slaves to switch between, the Slave needs to be chosen during the program execution.
There is no BAUD rate preference. Currently, we are using 9600 universally.
Functions have been created that automatically connect and then write data to an "attribute", this shows up as data on the Serial Monitor of the Arduino.
Python Code - using BlueZ 5.44 (manually installed):
import subprocess
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
# Replaces the ':' with '_' to allow the MacAddress to be in the form
# of a "Path" when "selecting an attribute"
def changeMacAddr(word):
return ''.join(c if c != ':' else '_' for c in word)
# Connects to a given MacAddress and then selects the attribute to write to
def connBT(BTsubProcess, stringMacAddr):
BTsubProcess.stdin.write(bytes("".join("connect "+stringMacAddr +"\n"), "utf-8"))
BTsubProcess.stdin.flush()
time.sleep(2)
stringFormat = changeMacAddr(stringMacAddr)
BTsubProcess.stdin.write(bytes("".join("select-attribute /org/bluez/hci0/dev_"
+ stringFormat +
"/service0010/char0011" + "\n"), "utf-8"))
BTsubProcess.stdin.flush()
# Can only be run once connBT has run - writes the data in a list [must have numbers 0 - 255 ]
def writeBT(BTsubProcess, listOfData):
stringList = [str('{0} ').format(elem) for elem in listOfData]
BTsubProcess.stdin.write(bytes("".join("write " + "".join(stringList) + "\n"), "utf-8"))
BTsubProcess.stdin.flush()
# Disconnects
def clostBT(BTsubProcess):
BTsubProcess.communicate(bytes("disconnect\n", "utf-8"))
# To use the functions a subprocess "instance" of bluetoothctl must be made
blt = subprocess.Popen(["bluetoothctl"], stdin=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
# blt with then be passed into the function for BTsubProcess
# Note: the MacAddresses of the Bluetooth modules were pre-connected and trusted manually via bluetoothctl
This method works fine for small sets of data, but my requirements require me to stream data to the Arduino very quickly.
The current set up is:
Sensor data (accelerometer, EEG) via USB serial is received by the Pi
The Pi processes the data
Commands are then sent to the Arduino via the in built bluetooth of the Pi Zero W
However, while using this method the bluetooth data transmission would delay (temporarily freeze) when the sensor data changed.
The data transmission was flawless when using two pre-paired HM-10 modules, the Pi's GPIO serial port was configured using PySerial.
The following methods have also been tried:
Using WiringPi to set-up a bluetooth serial port on the /dev/ttyAMA0
using Python sockets and rfcomm
When attempting to use both of these methods. The Python code compiles, however, once the Serial Port is opened the data is seemingly not written and does not show up on the Arduino's Serial Monitor.
This then cripples the previous functions. Even when using bluetoothctl manually, the module cannot be unpaired/disconnected. Writing to the appropriate attribute does not work either.
A restart is required to regain normal function.
Is this approach correct?
Is there a better way to send data over BLE?
UPDATE: 05/07/2017
I am no longer working on this project. But troubleshooting has led me to believe that a "race condition" in the code may have led to the program not functioning as intended.
This was verified during the testing phase where a more barebones code was created that functioned very well.
I am stuck at a point where I am configuring the DCM module and the current parameter I am trying to configure DcmTimStrP2AdjustServer,
The requirement is P2CAN_SERVER_MAX = 25ms; P2STARCAN_SERVER_MAX = 5000ms;
Is DcmDspSessionP2ServerMax the same as P2CAN_SERVER_MAX? and if it is the same
What is the need for DcmTimStrP2AdjustServer and how do I find the best value for DcmTimStrP2AdjustServer.(The values all should be a multiple of DcmTaskTime which I find to be logical).
DcmTaskTime = 5ms;
I am following Autosar 4.0.3, using ETAS tool for configuring the parameters.
To fulfill your requirement, you need to configure respectively
DcmDspSessionP2ServerMax & DcmDspSessionP2StarServerMax for each session control in the DcmDspSessionRows at Dcm/DcmConfigSet/DcmDsp/DcmDspSession/.
i.e.
DcmDspSessionP2ServerMax 25
DcmDspSessionP2StarServerMax 5000
There is no DcmTimStrP2AdjustServer, but I guess you're referring to DcmTimStrP2ServerAdjust instead. DcmTimStrP2ServerAdjust & DcmTimStrP2StarServerAdjust should be configured to a multiple of your DcmTaskTime (5ms in your case, so i.e. 5ms, 10ms, 15, ms, ... is applicable) and are used to safeguard that the response is available on the bus before triggering the P2 or P2* timeouts. In your case you may want to set these values to the same values as in the DcmDspSessionRows if there is no other specification given, because the chosen timeout values there are already multiples of your DcmTaskTime:
DcmTimStrP2ServerAdjust 25
DcmTimStrP2StarServerAdjust 5000
The adjust value is an internal value, in order to adjust the delay between the Dcm Transmit Request and the message being actually on the Bus.
The definition of P2ServerMax and P2*ServerMax and their corresponding Adjust values is the same:
This parameter is used to guarantee that the diagnostic response is available on the bus before reaching P2 by adjusting the current DcmDspSessionP2ServerMax. This parameter mainly represents the software architecture dependent communication delay between the time the transmission is initiated by DCM and the time when the message is actually transmitted to the bus
