ADIN2111 evaluation board frame cheker on terminal

Category: Hardware
Product Number: ADIN2111

Hello

I have the evaluation board of ADIN2111 and ADIN1100.

I tried to do the frame generator /checker demo using Fixed IP  referring to URL "wiki.analog.com/.../eval-adin2111ebz-user-guide "

I could show below on terminal

Could you tell me know what RX, Diff and Err means ?

(If possible, could you tell me how I can change the status of RX,Diff , Err =0 )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

start
OK
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0

stop
OK

  • Hi Teli,

    When you configure and run the Frame Generator/ Checker, the firmware provides an output where:

    • MSE is the 10BASE-T1L mean square error, which indicates link quality. 
    • Rx is the number of Ethernet frames received by the PHY from the 10BASE-T1L cable since the last board or firmware reset.
    • Err is the number of frames with error received since the last board or firmware reset.
    • Diff is the difference between frames sent and frames without errors received.

    The "Rx" output is generated when the frame generator / checker mode is enabled on EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ Port1 or Port2. That port must be linked to a partner configured in MAC remote loopback mode. You can use the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ configured in MAC remote loopback or if you're using just the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ, this could be the second port on the same board. 

    If you want "Diff" <> 0, disconnect the cable from the port in the middle of the test running. You may also see Err > 0, if you manage to pull the cable in the middle of a frame. The Diff = 0 indicates that the test is running as expected.

    Regards,
