The advertisement written for a forced speed of 1G and above is 0x1001,
while auto and the forced 10M and 100M modes all carry bit 10, the PAUSE
capability. Forcing a port to 1g or faster therefore takes pause off the
link: the advertisement narrows and the far end has nothing left to
agree to.
Measured on a SWTGW218AS through phyget and physet, on a port with no
link so nothing was disturbed. Auto reads 0x15e1, port 1 1g reads
0x1001, port 1 auto reads 0x15e1 again, and writing 0x1401 by hand
sticks. That bit 10 is the pause capability follows from a second
reading: two ports advertise the same 0x15e1 from this side, and pause
is active only against the partner whose own advertisement carries the
bit.
Reported by feelfree69 in #489.
Two per-port MAC status registers that nothing in the firmware reads:
0x6408 says which end is master on a BASE-T link, 0x63FC and 0x6400 say
whether pause was negotiated in each direction. port <n> show prints
both at the end.
The read sits in rtl837x_port.c rather than phy_show(), because these
are MAC registers and phy_show() is skipped for SFP ports. Master/slave
keys off machine.is_sfp[] so it stays off the fibre ports, where the
notion does not apply.
Bit N of each register is chip port N, which is not how
RTL837X_REG_LINKS_STS indexes its bytes a few lines above in the same
header.
edc469f made max_upload count, which bounds how many bytes a request may
carry. Nothing bounds where those bytes land. The two are not the same
check: the first watches the request, the second watches the flash address.
uptr walks forward one page at a time from FIRMWARE_UPLOAD_START and has no
ceiling. A body whose closing boundary never arrives keeps writing page after
page past the staging region, and on a flash exactly twice FIRMWARE_UPLOAD_START
the address wraps onto the running image at zero, so a bad upload takes the
working firmware with it. That commit's own message notes the related hazard:
flash_write_bytes() carries the address in three bytes and drops what does not
fit.
Bound it where uptr actually moves: refuse the next page once it would leave
the area check_and_flash_update_image() reads back, and answer 400. A partial
image left behind is harmless - boot rejects it on CRC and erases it.
This rebase drops the part of the original patch that removed max_upload;
the length limit and the address limit now sit side by side.
Add support for the F7008-2.5 board (PCB F7008-2.5GPOE-V1.2), an
RTL8373N + RTL8224N design with eight 2.5GBASE-T ports and one SFP+ cage.
The LED pads are not wired in port order, so the generic DEFAULT_8C_1SFP
target lights the wrong lamp on this board. The pad to lamp map was
measured on the hardware and is documented in doc/devices/F7008-2.5.md.
The green lamp marks a 2.5G link, the yellow lamp blinks while data flows.
handle_sfp() called sfp_module_read() as soon as it saw a module appear, and
that path opened with delay(100). delay() spins on PCON until the tick counter
runs down, so the main loop stood still for 100 ticks - half a second at
SYS_TICK_HZ 200. Nothing else ran in that window: no STP, no LACP, no packet
handling. A diagnostic build measured the sfp phase at up to 107 ticks, the
longest stall of any phase in the loop.
Remember when the module showed up and let the loop continue. The I2C read
happens on a later pass, once the wake-up period has elapsed. Pulling a module
cancels a pending read, and a failed read still restores the detect bit, so the
existing retry-on-the-next-poll behaviour is unchanged.
The comparison is written out rather than using a helper so that this does not
depend on anything outside the current tree. The pending flag is an array
indexed by slot, like the other per-slot state in this file.
Cost on SWTGW218AS, measured against the branch point: BANK3 11173 -> 11264,
CSEG, BANK1 and BANK2 unchanged, plus 4 bytes of xdata.
Some generic 1.25gbps DAC cables were seen to have a NUL *after* the
space padding in the model field. This caused the normalization to miss
the space padding in the string. The vendor field did not have the
issue.
Note that this seems to be against spec per SFF-8472, which mentions
only space padding or *all* NUL, not a combination of both. In the case
of all NUL, we'll waste a few cycles with no-op writes.
Building with SDCC 4.6.0 emits tons of warnings e.g.:
cmd_parser.c:31: warning 356: object in read-only code space should be const
cmd_parser.c:36: warning 357: pointer to object in read-only code space should be pointer to const
These of course become fatal when building with --Werror.
Comparing resultant binaries, it seems that a single string is shifted
(deduplication?) but the numbers emitted at the end of the build are
otherwise identical.
idle() went to sleep before it looked at the receive buffer, so a packet that
arrived just after the loop dozed off waited for the next tick before anything
touched it. Every TCP round-trip paid that toll, which is why the web UI felt
sluggish even though no phase of the loop was anywhere near busy.
Check the receive buffer first and only sleep when it is empty. The read takes
its result straight from SFR_DATA_U16 rather than going through reg_read_m()
and the sfr_data[] copy, which is what the rest of the tree already does.
Measured on SWTGW218AS with this change alone:
web UI, median of 15 requests for the main page 88 ms -> 76 ms
CPU port under a one-way UDP stream 159 -> 230 packets/s
The loop still sleeps normally when there is nothing to do, so this does not
turn the core into a busy-wait: loops/ticks stays at 0.99 on an idle switch,
and rises above 1.0 only while packets are actually queued.
Costs 12 bytes of code and no extra XDATA.
handle_rx() picked up exactly one packet per iteration of the main loop. Since
the loop sleeps until the next tick, that capped the CPU port at roughly one
packet per tick no matter how little work it had to do. A burst of broadcast,
ARP or IGMP traffic aimed at the CPU queued up behind that and pushed out the
STP and LACP timers.
Drain up to RX_BUDGET packets in one pass instead. The budget matters: without
one a sustained flood would spin here and starve everything else in the loop.
The two register reads in the loop take their result straight from
SFR_DATA_U16 rather than going through reg_read_m() and the sfr_data[] copy,
which is what the rest of the tree already does.
Measured on SWTGW218AS with a one-way UDP stream, counting the packets the CPU
actually processed, with this change alone:
before 159 packets/s
RX_BUDGET 4 245 packets/s, loop iteration ~16 ms
RX_BUDGET 8 298 packets/s, loop iteration ~26 ms
Throughput is already most of the way there at 4, so the larger budget mostly
buys a longer worst-case delay for the other phases. STP stayed responsive in
both cases.
Costs 71 bytes of code and no extra XDATA.
All the possibilities are handled, or otherwise a compile-time macro
I2CBUS_VALID ensures invalid options are rejected with a compiler error.
Also fix a compiler warning.
Use 0x7 as error value for an invalid I2C SDA/SCL-pin value.
The macro `I2CBUS_VALID` checks for this value.
When a invalid pin is ues, the compiler errors out with:
"machine.c:<line>: error 176: sizeof applied to an incomplete type",
Error message is not ideal but at-least points to the right location in
the code.
We can reduce the i2c-settings to just one byte, and this new const value
can directly be used by the I2C-peripheral without additional computation.
This saves 1-xdata load and a lot of bit-shifting.
I see a codesize savings of +200 bytes.
The TODO next to the disabled TCP checksum code asks which bit of the RX tag
carries the result. It is bit 2 of byte 1: the hardware sets it when the L4
checksum is bad.
That answers the question for UDP as well, which was not being checked either
because UIP_CONF_UDP_CHECKSUMS is 0. Both paths now read the flag instead of
running a checksum over the payload on the 8051.
A zero UDP checksum, which is optional in IPv4, is not flagged by the hardware,
so DHCP keeps working and no extra condition is needed.
rx_headers lives in rtlplayground.c, which the host tests do not link, so
test_httpd_tx carries the storage itself the way it already carries uip_buf.
A zeroed descriptor reads as a good checksum, so the existing scenarios are
unaffected.
A new scenario sets the flag on a request and expects it counted as a checksum
error and left unanswered, then sends the same request with the flag clear and
expects it served. Built against uip.c without this change, those first two
checks fail and the two control checks still pass, so the scenario tells the
two versions apart rather than merely exercising the code.
Costs 156 bytes of code on SWTGW218AS and no extra XDATA.
The speed selector on the Ports tab was filled with its options and never
given a value, so it read "auto" on every load whatever the port was set
to. Forcing a port to 1G and reloading showed "auto" in the selector
beside a link badge reading 1G.
The advertisement bits ports.json already reports say what the port is
set to: phy_set_speed() writes the same three registers the JSON reads
back, and every forced speed leaves exactly one of the six bits standing
while auto leaves the lot. Map those to the selector, and leave it alone
while it has focus, as the MTU field does.
Values with no entry in the table, such as the 100M setting that
advertises both duplex modes, leave the selector untouched rather than
claim a setting the list cannot express.
port_eee_enable() and port_eee_disable() report the port with
print_byte(), which prints the internal index in hex, so turning EEE off
on port 5 answers "EEE off for 04". port_eee_status() in the same file
already uses print_phys_port(), and the status listing it produces counts
from one, so the two halves of the same command disagreed.
Use print_phys_port() in all three messages.
