[Cerowrt-devel] amd ryzen embedded nucs

[Dave Taht]

since we run the apu2 out of cpu on inbound shaping, there are some
new ryzen boxes appearing. Here's one....

http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Download/e-catalog/iBOX-R1000.pdf

I don't know why it uses realtek ethernet as the soc has 10Gbit
capable ethernet onboard.

Dave,
Have you upgraded the firmware on your apu2 boxes? The was a performance
issue that was fixed a few weeks back.

Regards,
Luis

"the firmware" - do you mean openwrt? or the bios? link?

I would be *delighted* to be able to shape inbound on those boxes to
nearly ~1gbit. On the other hand it would
run me out of motivation to try and make a quad core shaper work....
(not that I have a lot of motivation, since
it's been a year since I last tried, and it was pretty invasive....

I really liked the new "listification" work going on in mainline.
Still, my dream was to be rid of mirred entirely, and
to be able to do:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress cake bandwidth X

or rather

tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress mq bandwidth X
tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress handle 1:1 cake
tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress handle 1:2 cake
...

Which looked possible to fall out of that work (but haven't checked in a year)

The BIOS it seems that the CPU wasn’t able to use the speed boost in some
cases. Single thread performance is where you can see some of the
improvements of the fix.

Ah, this...

And:

Reflashing the bios needs a serial cable, which I'll dig up. Thx for the steer!
