Yes, I noticed that after I went home and looked into the log. 'lspci
-nn' gives:

00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation 5 Series Chipset LPC
Interface Controller [8086:3b0a] (rev 06)

BTW the above wiki entry is slightly misleading because it suggest
'lspci -vv', whereas, if you want the actual numerical IDs you need
the -n or -nn option.

There are two reasons why it may not work:
- the way to globally disable SMIs has changed with the chipset version
you are using;
- the BIOS of your PC locks the SMI disabling bit.

So, the next step is to check the chipset datasheet.

You were faster. Thanks! Sorry for slight cross posting. I have this

The next step is to try disabling the individual bits (TC0, USB legacy,
etc...), as they may not affected by the SMI_LOCK bit.

I've added the patch to smi.c and, as suspected, the SMI_LOCK is on,
namely, kernel log looks like:

[    2.111453] Xenomai: SMI workaround failed!, BIOS lock: 1

I switched off the global SMI disable leaving the particular bits
disabled and it seems to work:

[    2.121558] Xenomai: SMI-enabled chipset found
[    2.121568] Xenomai: SMI workaround enabled

BTW I've found that often motherboards have SMI locked and it is not
changeable in BIOS.

As for latency tests it helped, I think. I did series of tests with
large load (8x'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null') and the results look
something like that:

Latency for user task (-t0), period 100 us:
RTS|     -2.363|     -1.936|     20.443|       0|     0|    00:30:00/00:30:00
Latency for kernel task (-t1), period 100 us:
RTS|     -2.924|     -2.500|     12.974|       0|     0|    00:30:00/00:30:00
Latency for timer IRQ (-t2), period 100 us:
RTS|     -3.327|     -2.970|     10.572|       0|     0|    00:30:00/00:30:00

Interestingly, I'm getting the same results for core2 kernel without
SMI workaround working. I was just getting high latencies approx. 70
us for generic kernel. I'm not sure though how is it possible. Also,
the higher latencies of above 10 us are arriving not too often but
relatively regularly (without any visible pattern, though). I'm not
sure if such a latencies are rather normal or caused by something
'bad'.

Moreover, I seem not be able to do switch test; when I run it I'm getting:

To make proper benchmarks, you should:
- let the latency run long
- provide some load, you can use the dohell script in xenomai-head to
generate the load.

That said, having some spikes is not abnormal. The real question is to
know whether the latencies your get are sufficient for your application.

You have to increase CONFIG_XENO_OPT_SYS_STACKPOOLSZ.

I've generated a load using 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null' one for each 
core (8 in total), which is roughly the way how xeno-test does it. The 
test was running for 30 min, which is not very long but I should see the 
long latencies by that time, I think at least.

It is 128 Kb now. Should it be more? Is there any (thumb) rule for this

Max # of concurrent kernel-based Xenomai threads x stack_size. 8k stack
minimum is a safe bet for x86_64.

Typically, RTDM (driver) tasks in kernel space are Xenomai ones, so you
would need to reserve stack space for each of them in this amount.

The switchtest driver is RTDM-based, and may run a number of RTDM tasks,
depending on the test scenario.

The default scenario being to run 6 rtdm tasks by cpu (that would make
48 on an 8 cores processor).

Thanks for the explanation. I've changed the stack pool size to 512kb, 
which is slightly more then minimum, and it allowed the test to run.

As for the tests, I don't think I have to be more pessimistic in it. I 
have to (finally) do some lab testing, which would potentially reveal 
some problems. Nonetheless, thanks for the suggestions.

[Xenomai-help] Xenomai beagleboard xm ethernet not working

[David Wiebe]

Hello,

I haven't been able to get the ethernet to work with linux 2.6.35.9 
patched with Xenomai. I've been in menuconfig turning on anything and 
everything related to networking and usb and still nothing.

If you disable CONFIG_XENOMAI and CONFIG_IPIPE in the kernel
configuration, does ethernet work?

Hi Gilles,

I've got the usb ethernet interface up. I can ping it from my pc. The 
beagleboard hangs. I'm investigating. I've used the usb ethernet adaptor 
successfully many times with the bbc4 so I doubt its the problem.

Here's the serial output dump

Re: [Xenomai-help] Xenomai beagleboard xm ethernet working!

[David Wiebe]

Hello,

In menuconfig, unselect realtime clock. lol! Boots fine, ethernet 
support works! I also patched the kernel to support spi which works in 
userland.

Now to make it all work as a rtos. If anyone has suggestions or 
whatever, I need to work on a spi to ethernet bridge. I need to read 
360bytes every 1mS and send it out over ethernet. I've done this with a 
non-rtos and achieved 360byte read and send every ~740uS. The problem 
was sometimes it would vary between  700 and 900uS etc. I need this to 
be isochronous and 1mS will work fine.

There you have it!
Cheers!

David

If you want deterministic access to ethernet, you will need RTnet.

xeno-test adds many more way to generate load, which you should use if
you intend to have good results (I mean, really pessimistic ones). If
you do not have time to run LTP completely, you can use hackbench for a
few hours.

Following the datasheet available at:

http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/322169.pdf

SMI_EN—SMI Control and Enable Register has address: PMBASE + 30 (see p. 
531), which seems to be the same as in 'smi.c' (PMBASE is 0x40-0x43; see 
p. 460). Structure seems to be the same, namely, GBL_SMI_EN_BIT is the 
first bit. However, SMI enable can be locked using SMI_LOC bit in 
GEN_PMCON_1—General PM Configuration 1 Register
(PM—D31:F0) with Offset Address: A0h; see p. 513. Hence, this one can 
potentially stop 'smi.c' from applying the workaround. Sorry for 
slightly descriptive approach but I don't know 'smi.c' code that well to 
fiddle with it.

Hope it helps slightly.

Best wishes,

Jakub
