About this document
Purpose of this document

 This document provides an overview of the manufacturing test application and the Iperf application
available for use with xPico-SMT EVB. The document describes the purpose of these applications and
how to use them. The images will have already been downloaded to our xPico evaluation boards.



Driver Installation and setup
 When you receive the EVB, the application will have already been downloaded to it. Plug on the USB
cord in the upper left corner and connect it to your PC. Note that the OS of the PC is Linux:

Iperf application
 Iperf is already downloaded to the device as a console application. Connect to xPico-SMT EVB with
a terminal program (e.g., minicom or PuTTY) with parameters 115200 8N1.

 After the program starts, it will try to connect to the default AP “YOUR_AP_SSID”. If your AP ssid is
set to “YOUR_AP_SSID”, the xPico EVB will connect to your AP automatically when power on. We
can connect to another AP by using the “join” command also. Type “help” for an explanation of all
commands.

Console Commands:
   help [<command> [<example_num>]]
      - Print help message or command example.
     Join <ssid> <open|wpa|wpa2> [key] [key length]

Eason, WP/SiP/HW, 2014/11/5                                                                   Page 6


 After xPico-SMT successfully connect to an AP, we can start running Iperf throughput tests.

Start a TCP server:

> iperf -s

Start an UDP server

> iperf -s -u

Start an UDP multi-cast server bound to 224.1.1.1:

> iperf -s -u -B 224.1.1.1

Start a TCP client:

>iperf -c 192.168.1.136

Start an UPD client and send at void priority (using the “-S” option), for 90 seconds at 10 Mbps,
followed by the same command at video, best effort and background levels of priority:

> iperf -c 192.168.1.136 -u -S * -t 90 -b 10M

The corresponding “-S” option is set to 7, 5, 0, 1, respectively; “-t” specifies the duration of the test in
seconds; you can also specify the report interval using “-i”.
Start an UDP multi-cast client:

> iperf -c 224.1.1.1 -u

Start Iperf in a thread to enable concurrent client and server modes for bi-directional testing. The
default application priority is 7 so new threads should start at 7, as shown. However, it can be set to 6.

> thread 7 iperf -s

Start a bi-directional UDP throughput test. Note that each instance of Iperf must start on a separate port
using “-p ***”

xPico> thread 7 iperf -s -u -i 10 -p 6000
xPico> iperf -c 192.168.1.136 -u -b 10M -t 90 -p 7000

HOST>iperf -s -u -i 10 -p 7000

Eason, WP/SiP/HW, 2014/11/5                                                                      Page 7


HOST>iperf -c <xPico address> -u -b 10M -p 6000




Start a bi-directional TCP throughput test. Note that each instance of Iperf must start on a separate port
using “-p ***”

xPico> thread 7 iperf -s -i 10 -p 6000
xPico> iperf -c 192.168.1.136 -t 90 -p 7000

HOST> iperf -s -i 10 -p 7000
HOST>iperf -c <xPico IP address> -p 6000

Note:
    a. Many Iperf parameters cannot be changed, for example TCP window size and max segment
       size.
    b. If the "thread" command is not used then after running an Iperf server the WICED module must
       be reset, i.e., there is no break key to restore the console prompt.
    c. The "thread_kill" command is not supported.
