11 years agowhy the altera TSE is so slow in qsys_ghrd_3c120 + nios2 linux
hi, all,
my hardware is Cyclone III FPGA Development Kit (3C120 board), and the quartus project is qsys_ghrd_3c120 I have succeed running nios2 linux ( refer to http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/niosiilinuxusermanualforcycloneiii), the altera TSE is verified to work in 1000M full duplex mode. then I test the altera TSE speed between the nios2 linux and the PC Windows with the following function in linux , then I find the udp transaction speed is only about 40~50Mbps, why so slow? anyone can tell me what's the problem? and how to get higher speed for altera TSE +nios2 linux? thanks!! my udp transaction function is : int udp_handshake( ) { int ipLen,i,iRet; unsigned short udp_marks[8]; int net_error; net_error=0; printf("now to handshake by udp\n"); m_udp_socket=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0); memset(&addrin,0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) ); addrin.sin_family=AF_INET; addrin.sin_port = htons(3500); memset(&addrin.sin_zero,0,8); if(bind(m_udp_socket,(struct sockaddr *)&addrin, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in))) //int bind (int SOCKET, struct sockaddr *ADDR, socklen_t LENGTH) { printf("can't creat net interface.......\r\n"); close(m_udp_socket); return 0; } ipLen=sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); for(i=0;i<8;i++) { udp_marks[i]=0; } iRet=recvfrom(m_udp_socket, (char * )udp_marks, 16, 0,(struct sockaddr *)&addrin, &ipLen); //first recv mark by blocking mode printf("pc IP:%s port:%d\r\n",inet_ntoa(addrin.sin_addr),ntohs(addrin.sin_port) ); addrin.sin_port=htons(3500); ipLen=sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); //test altera TSE speed with udp sending loop, data_length is from 1 to 32, so 1K to 32K data is sent by one sendto for (i=0;i<send_loop;i++) { iRet=sendto(m_udp_socket, (char *)pData_buff, data_length*1024,0,(struct sockaddr *)&addrin,ipLen); //second send back handshake if (iRet==-1) { net_error=1; } } shutdown(m_udp_socket,2); close(m_udp_socket); return 1; }
