Of course, I've tried several cables and severals ports on several switches. I've also made some tests with a direct connection between a PC and my Lite5200 with same results (in this case, timeouts are rare, but it happens sometimes). Unfortunately, I've got only one Lite5200 board but other people have same problems (see thread http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4080201&forum_id=12898) I think that my board is OK because I don't have any problem with the FEC under my operating system. >Only if you were able to replace each of them, and the problem >persisted, I am convinced of a problem with the code. > >We had several boards, both with MGT5100 and MPC5200, with SDRAM and >DDR, in several layour versions of the IceCube / LITE board, and >additionally some custom boards.
