Openavb with another intel ethernet controller #77

Closed baynaa7 closed 10 years ago

baynaa7 commented 10 years ago

Hello all. I got xmos avb boards and connect with iptime switch. So I installed openavb under linux. However open-avb say it used I210. Mine is I82540EM ethernet controller. I checked it
under ubuntu 13 using lspci -nn | grep Eth command.

daemon_cl and simple talker did not work for me.

a) daemon_cl says failed to get interface address: no such device failed to initialize port. (In my openion above error is because of different ethernet controller) Is it right? IF yes how to solve this problem?

there is some issue that I knew. ./daemon_cl eth0 gives :failed to configure timestamping.. but ./daemon_cl -i eth0 gives error (a).

b) ./simple_talker -i eth0 -t 2 gives connect to failed (Success) - are you running as root?

(a) and (b) are because of my ethernet controller(I82540EM)?

also in /dev/ptp* does not exist.

Please discuss on this issue thank you.

the I82540EM does not have the ptp or traffic shaping capabilities that are required for AVB. You need to get an i210 based ethernet board.

I would also recommend you use an AVnu certified Extreme switch for development. There are enough variables in play during the development/testing phase. You may as well rule out the switch as being one of them.

does these switches give the audio samples over ethernet?

Yes
