[Linux-ATM-General] Issues with latest Solos firmware

[Philip P. <phi...@re...>]

  I've tried both the canned soloscli sources in the tarball and the latest SVN version (r26), and both get the same result:

# soloscli -s 0 SupportedAnnexes T1.413A
Error. No response from modem
#

anyone else seeing anything similar?

At boot I was seeing:

Solos PCI Driver Version 0.11 svn-25
solos 0000:00:0e.0: Solos FPGA Version 0.03 svn-37
solos 0000:00:0e.0: Registered ATM device 0
solos 0000:00:0e.0: Registered ATM device 1
solos 0000:00:0e.0: Received packet for unknown VCI.VPI 0.0 on port 0
Error. No response from modem
Error. No response from modem
Sequence incorrect.
Expected x1499, buffer was:

o data.

Error. No response from modem


Thanks.

Hi Philip,

What version does soloscli report?

Try increasing TIMEOUT in soloscli.h to 300.

Re: [Linux-ATM-General] Issues with latest Solos firmware

[Mike W. <we...@cs...>]

Increasing timeout values is a sometimes effective way to recover
from various errors in broken drivers (or firmware!) :-(

For relatively high performance (OC-3 +) systems, the cost is often
severe performance hurts.  For DSL speed stuff it's ugly but typically not
noticeable performance-wise.

Been there, done that.

Hi Philip,

I noticed that your FPGA version is 0.03-37, not 0.03-38.
Some timing issues between the FPGA and Solos ADSL chipset were fixed in
0.03-38.

I have emailed a binary and upgrade instructions for you off list.

Regards,
Nathan

Hi Philip,

You will need to power-cycle the PC to force the FPGA to reload its 
configuration.  Then you should see Solos FPGA Version 0.03 svn-38.

Nathan did indeed send me a new FPGA image out-of-band, and I installed it.  That seems to have resolved the issues.
