board: imxrt1020 evk

wifi module: CMP9010-1-EVB (iw416-based, listed in https://www.nxp.com/products/wireless/wi-fi-plus-bluetooth/iw416-2-4-5-ghz-dual-band-1x1-wi-fi-4-802... )

sdk example: evkmimx1020_wifi_iperf

sdk version: 2.11.0(541 2022-01-14) Manifest version 3.9.0

modification: The only relevant modification is defining WIFI_IW416_BOARD_AW_AM510_USD in app_config.h. Besides, ssid, passphrase, and iperf server ip address are changed.

Host PC: Ubuntu 20.04, iperf 2.0.13 (21 Jan 2019)

 

According to https://community.nxp.com/t5/Blogs/MCUXpresso-SDK-2-12-0-RT-Platform-NXP-Wireless-Chipset-Release/ba... iw416 easily achieved a tcp throughput of 25~43Mbits (tx) at 2.4GHz or 33~45Mbits/s at 5GHz band. But I can only get 2-4Mbits/s, only 1/10 compared to your test result. I understand imxrt1020 may be slower than imxrt1060, but it's unlikely the cause of such a huge throughput difference.

 

Is there a good explanation for such a gap, say, not optimal settings in the source code. Or there is no problem in code, I probably got a module with poor performance? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

 

Following is the output of iperf program. The client chose '3 TCP client dual mode (TX and RX in parallel) right after wifi connected. I also tested both 2.4G and 5GHz bands. 5G band has a slightly higher result. The test board is placed quite close to router, less than 30cm.

```

Client connecting to 10.42.0.55, TCP port 5001
Binding to local address 10.42.0.1
TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 6] local 10.42.0.1 port 47043 connected with 10.42.0.55 port 5001
[ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 2.40 MBytes 2.01 Mbits/sec
[ 6] 0.0-10.1 sec 4.88 MBytes 4.05 Mbits/sec

```

Hello,

 

In the link you shared you can see that the SDK version is the 2.12.0, is there a way you can help us moving to that version of the SDK and try performing the tests again ? Is there a specific reason why you are using the 2.11.0 SDK version ?

 

Regards,

Thank you. I did not notice that. Now I have uninstalled the old IDE and SDK. Reinstalled IDE v11.6 and SDK 2.12.

 

A brief test shows good improvement on UDP but not TCP. Now I have UDP at 28Mbps and TCP at around 3.8MBps. 5G band. I will do a thorough test and post the report.
