How to configure advanced network test with Burnin ARM?

[manolo-mm]

Hi

I'm trying to setup Burnin ARM and its working quite well so far but I could not find an option for the advanced network test in the config file. Since the package contains advnet_endpoint I think there should be an option and the burnin linux GUI also has it so how can I configure it?

Advanced Network Test is currently not available from the command line, only GUI

Thats too bad. Network testing is a key requirement for the test software I'm looking for. Are there any plans to implement it in the near future? Simon (PassMark)

You'll need to use Windows or the Linux GUI (x86).

It is on our "To Do" list. But isn't the highest priority for the moment. It won't happen this year (unless someone pays to get it done as custom development).

As an update, looks like there are options to enable advance network testing, seems we hadn't updated the help files to reflect it

Can use below in cmdline_config.txt:

## Advanced network
## Enabling this will disable the standard network test
## Have a <Test> section for each device to test or a single one for a TestALL option
<ADV_Network>

<Test>
#Device - Network device name to test or TestAllIPV6, TestAllIPV4
Device TestAllIPV4
#IP, V4 or V6
IP V4
# Half or Full duplex
Mode Half
#Port number to use
Port 10001
#Block size
Block 16384
#Target NIC load
Load 5
#Low NIC Threshold to generate error on, 0.0 is ignore
LowThreshold 0.0
#Validate Daata - Yes, No
Validate Yes
</Test>

</ADV_Network>​

Thanks. That works. I had some trouble with establishing the connection to the endpoint at first but increasing nic load seems to fix that.
