Latest Icicle Release and using PCIE #28

I am debugging a PCIE issue using the Icicle board.

  • For one setup I connected a StarTech PEX1394B3 mini-PCIE card to the Icicle, and built a Linux image with the drivers for it.
  • For another setup (that previously worked with the Icicle a couple of years ago), I connected a TP-Link TG-3468 mini-PCIE card.

For the TG-3468, the "lspci" command seems to return mostly good information except all of the memory is "disabled". Can you offer any insights for the below? Thanks in advance.

Hi @haroldnelson-2021,

Could you tell us which reference design version and which software & software versions you are using please? Including what build system and release/version you are using. Could you also tell us any custom configs you have?

Without this information is it very hard for us to give much insight. With this information, we can give you a better informed answer.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Jamie.

Hi Harold, hi James,

Thank you for the information you have provided. However, we are still unclear on which information is for which NIC. Could you clarify which failures/logs and which config files are for which of the two NICs? If possible, can you provide the logs and kernel configs from both NICs?

We suggest that the best way to provide us with the actual kernel config file used during testing is to provide us with the output of the following command: zcat /proc/config.gz

We feel it is also worth us mentioning that we have confirmed a StarTech NIC and a TP-Link NIC are both working with our latest 2024.09 release. Our NIC are not the same model as either of yours, however, it might be worth noting the following.
For our wired StarTech model NIC, the required kernel kconfig option is CONFIG_R8169=y. The following commands can be used to bring it up and test: ifconfig eth2 down, ifconfig eth2 up, udhcpc -i eth2, ping www.google.com. You can use ifconfig to find the name associated with your device.
For our wireless TP-Link model NIC, the required kernel kconfig options are CONFIG_CFG80211=y, CONFIG_MAC80211=y, CONFIG_RFKILL=y, CONFIG_RTL8188EE=y. You can then use WPA Supplicant and DHCP Client to bring up the connection with the following commands: wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp1s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, ifconfig wlp1s0 up, dhclient -r, dhclient wlp1s0, ping -c 4 www.google.com. Again, using ifconfig or ip a to find the name of your device. Please note: you must edit your "wpa_supplicant.conf" file with your wireless network details.

Please let us know if this is helpful and provide us with the details mentioned above.

Thank you,
Jamie
