i.MX6 FEC fifo overrun

torus1000 — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 07:13:47 GMT

Hi,

I used yocto L3.14.38 for i.MX6Q-SabreSD then measured FEC performance with iperf command.

I believed FEC patch already applied so fifo overrun suppressed with proper pause frames.

But FEC performance looked far poor than 450Mpbs and fifo overrun continuously occurred.

Is there any control bit to ignore pause frame? (Which registers should I check first?)

How can I improve FEC performance to avoid overrun?

Thanks.

We have a description on FEC speed in Errata, see following, please!

Hope the information is helpful for you!
