Chapter 5 Enabling LINUX This chapter describes how to enable the LINUX System on the AT2712FX/SC and AT-2912T adapters.
Enabling LINUX Introduction This chapter describes the tg3 Linux driver for the Broadcom NetXtreme PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express Ethernet Network Controllers. The most recent driver is in the latest 2.6 Linux kernel. You can download the driver from www.broadcom.com as a source package. However, it is generally not necessary to do so if you are using the latest 2.6 upstream kernel from www.kernel.org or one of the latest vendor kernels from Red Hat, SuSE, or others.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Installing LINUX TG3 File There are two procedures to install the Linux TG3 file: Installing the Source RPM Package “Installing the Source RPM Package” on page 67 “Building the Driver from the Source TAR File” on page 68 Here are general guidelines for installing the driver: 1. Install the source RPM package by enter the following command: rpm -ivh tg3.src.rpm 2.
Enabling LINUX Note The force option may be needed on some Linux distributions if conflicts are reported. Depending on the kernel, the driver is installed in one of the following directories: 2.4.x kernels: /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/ tg3.o 2.6.x kernels: /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/ tg3.ko 5. To load the driver, enter one of the following commands: insmod tg3.o or insmod tg3.ko (on 2.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Enter the following command: make KVER= where in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another kernel that is installed on the system. 4. Test the driver by loading it. Enter the following commands: insmod tg3.o or insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6 kernels) or modprobe tg3 5.
Enabling LINUX Add the following line to the script: ETHTOOL_OPTS=”wol g speed 100 duplex half autoneg off” Table 3.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Table 4.
Enabling LINUX Unloading and Removing the Driver To unload the driver, use the ifconfig command to bring down all eth# interfaces opened by the driver. Then enter the following command: rmmod tg3 Note On all 2.6 kernels, you do not need to bring down the eth# interfaces before unloading the driver module.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Driver Messages The following messages are the most common sample messages that are logged in the /var/log/messages file. Use the dmesg -n command to control the level at which messages appear on the console. Most systems are set to level 6 by default. To see all messages, set the level higher than 6. Driver Signon tg3.c:v3.

Chapter 6 MS-DOS Diagnostics This chapter describes the MS-DOS diagnostics and contains the following sections: “Introduction” on page 76 “DOS Prompt Commands” on page 77 “Diagnostic Tests” on page 78 “Error Messages” on page 85 75
MS-DOS Diagnostics Introduction This section provides the information on how to use the DOS diagnostic utilities program on an Allied Telesis Fast Ethernet adapter. For detailed information about the DOS diagnostic utilities program, see the Broadcom B57UDIAG Diagnostics Users Guide. You can download this document from the Allied Telesis website: www.alliedtelesis.com. Prerequisites The DOS diagnostics require the following prerequisites. See Table 5.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide DOS Prompt Commands Table 6 lists the DOS prompt commands. Table 6.
MS-DOS Diagnostics Diagnostic Tests The tests are divided into four groups: Register Tests, Memory Tests, Miscellaneous Tests, and Data Tests. They numbered as group ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and ‘D’. Test Names This section lists the names of the diagnostics tests. Group A. A1. Indirect Register Test A2. Control Register Test A3. Interrupt Test A4. BIST A5. PCI Cfg Register Test Group B. B1. Scratch Pad Test B2. BD SRAM Test B3. DMA SRAM Test B4. MBUF SRAM Test B5. MBUF SRAM via DMA Test B6.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Test Descriptions This section provides descriptions of the diagnostic tests. A1. Indirect Register Test Function: Using an indirect addressing method, writing increment data into MAC hash Register table and reading it back for verification. The memory read/write is done 100 times while increment test data. Default: Test Enabled A2.
MS-DOS Diagnostics data is correct. After the test, the program reads back data one more time to insure the data stays correct. The test data used is 0x00000000, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xAA55AA55, and 0x55AA55AA. Address Test: Writes each address with unique increment data. Read back data to insure data is correct. After fill the entire data with the unique data, the program reads back data again to insure data stays the same. WalkingOne bit Test: For each address, data one is written and read back for testing.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Table 7. DMA Test Patterns Test Pattern Description "16 00's 16 FF's" Full the entire host DMA buffer with 16 bytes of 00’s and then 16 bytes of FF’s. "16 FF's 16 0's" Full the entire host DMA buffer with 16 bytes of FF’s and then 16 bytes of 00’s. "32 00's 32 FF's" Full the entire host DMA buffer with 32 bytes of 00’s and then 32 bytes of FF’s.
MS-DOS Diagnostics C3. DMA Test Function: Both high and low priorities DMA are tested. It moves data from the host memory to NIC SRAM, verifies data, and then moves data back to the host memory again to verify data. Default: Enabled C4. MII Test Function: The function is identical to A2. Control Register Test. The test writing zero and one into the test bits to insure the read only bits value are not changed, and read/write bits are changed accordingly. Default: Test Enabled.
AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T Secure Ethernet Network Adapter Installation and User’s Guide C5. VPD Test Function: It saves the content of VPD before it performs the test. Once the test is done, this function writes one of the following five pattern test data into VPD memory: 0xFF 0xAA 0x55 increment data decrement data By default, increment data pattern is used. It writes and reads back the data for the entire test range, and then restores the original content. Default: Disabled C6.
MS-DOS Diagnostics D1. Mac Loopback Test Function: This is internal loopback data transmit/receive test. It initializes the MAC into internal loopback mode and transmits 100 packets. The data should be routed back to the receive channel and received by the receive routine which verifies the integrity of data. One Fast rate is used for this test. Default: Enabled D2. Phy Loopback Test Function: This test is same as D1. Mac Loopback Test except, the data is routed back via physical layer device.
