Trond & whitepawn,

It is the same kernel built for both boxes as before:

It is in the kernel 5.8.5-mvebu-370xp-tld-1 as a loadable module. So try

modprobe g762

Hi bodhi,

I added 'lm75' and 'g762' to '/etc/initramfs-tools/modules' and, as 'root', did
update-initramfs -u
(cd /boot && mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-5.8.5-mvebu-tld-1 -d initrd.img-5.8.5-mvebu-370xp-tld-1 uInitrd)
to update the initial ram file system. Installed 'lm-sensors' and 'fancontrol', and ran 'pwmconfig'. Ended up with this configuration in '/etc/fancontrol':
# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=2
DEVPATH=hwmon0=devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0 hwmon1=devices/platform/soc/soc:internal-regs/d0011000.i2c/i2c-0/0-003e
DEVNAME=hwmon0=d0018300.thermal hwmon1=g762
FCTEMPS= hwmon1/pwm1=hwmon0/temp1_input
FCFANS= hwmon1/pwm1=hwmon1/fan1_input
MINTEMP= hwmon1/pwm1=50
MAXTEMP= hwmon1/pwm1=80
MINSTART= hwmon1/pwm1=60
MINSTOP= hwmon1/pwm1=60
MINPWM=hwmon1/pwm1=60
MAXPWM= hwmon1/pwm1=200
which, at normal room temperature, makes the fan run more or less noiseless at about 975 rpm when the box is idle, and at at about 1300 rpm when it's really busy. Didn't test with disks installed, though. 'fancotrol' is stared by 'init' by default when 'pwmconfig' has generated a configuration.

Checked!

Looking forward to test a kernel with the "danitool" patch.

Regards,
Trond Melen

Hi guys again,
I was very busy with life, sorry didn't post anything useful.
Today i quickly tried with another router and also direct connection with static ip.It didn't improve network speed.
It seems many developments are made will read forum.
BTW can i quickly return to stock firmware?Which envs i must use?
Regards.

Nice to hear from you again, whitepawn!

BTW can i quickly return to stock firmware?

You still have stock U-boot on your RN102, so you should be able to activate the 'Bootmenu' and select "Factory Default" or "OS reinstall" as described here. Since the RN102 has no display, you need to check the LEDs against the table in the Hardware Manual to know when to hit the Backup button.

I believe the RN102 has been obsoleted, so don't think you can get any support from Netgear any longer. So if 'Bootmanu' fails, you need to find someone who can clone a recovery USB stick for you. I'm sorry, I don't have any.

Regards,
Trond Melen

Hi tme nice to see you again!
I have tried factory reset as described.Didn't help but i have original backup for env partition i will try with nandwrite original envs partition.
I have read all new kernel information and L2 cache thing, great work.Will try new kernel but it seems it have network issues as right now i believe.
Regards.

whitepawn,

This tld-2 version is the latest test version.

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,92514,111984#msg-111984

I will upload tld-3 version shortly.

Hi Bodhi,
I have tried with your tld3 version with fresh install on my RN102.Network speed is improved significantly thank you.Now i can get 669 Mbits/sec.But i cannot figured out why i am not getting 900Mbits/sec.Here is my logs:

I have tried with brand new mi 4a gigabit router.Here is my connection diagram.
RN102----CAT6 Cable----Mi 4A Gigabit-----CAT6 Cable----Xeon Desktop


@tme
Could you please try tld3 version with iperf?I want to make sure if my setup is wrong or not.

Regards all.

As I mentioned previously, the flow control settings is the important factor in testing the true network speed. So I would suggest that:

- Your Xeon Desktop Linux set the flow control to disabled.
- Your Mi 4A Gigabit router does not have any QoS (Quality of services) rules activated for the ports where the RN102 and the Xeon Dekstop connected to.
- The RN102 is the client side in iperf test.

Note that if you turn it around, and make the RN102 the server side, then you will see reduced speed in iperf, because it has flow control enabled by default.

Yes.

However, you did not say how the performance was degraded between 5.9.3-mvebu-370xp-tld-3 and 5.8.5-mvebu-370xp-tld-1?

Bodhi,
Thanks for suggestions.I have tried below:

- Your Xeon Desktop Linux set the flow control to disabled.

I have disabled flow control both server and client side.

- Your Mi 4A Gigabit router does not have any QoS (Quality of services) rules activated for the ports where the RN102 and the Xeon Dekstop connected to.

To confirm this i have tried it with another linuxmint lenovo laptop with same hardware and software configuration.Didn't change anything except laptop client side.Here is connection scheme:
Lenovo Linuxmint Laptop(Client)----CAT6 Cable----Mi 4A Gigabit-----CAT6 Cable----Xeon Desktop(Server)
And here is my results with above hardware configuration:

It seems all cables and router is fine.No Qos enabled.Mi Gigabit Router firmware is stock by the way,no openwrt or some weird 3rd party software.

Then i unplugged ethernet cable from Lenovo Laptop and plugged to RN102.Didn't change anything else.Here is digaram now:
RN102(Client)----CAT6 Cable----Mi 4A Gigabit-----CAT6 Cable----Xeon Desktop(Server)
And here is the results with same commands:

- The RN102 is the client side in iperf test.

I have tested like above RN102 is client Xeon Desktop is server.Also you can see i have tested with Bi-directional bandwidth measurement: (-r argument).

Anyway in a nutshell i get approx 200Mbits/sec with 5.8.5-mvebu-370xp-tld-1 (no moded dtb) kernel and 700Mbits/sec with 5.9.3-mvebu-370xp-tld-3 which i am pretty happy about, 3.5 times bandwith increase no complains sir.Thank you very much.

If you have another thing to test or new kernel just let me know.

Also results for devmem L2 cache thing if relevant:

My base line case is still 939 Mbits/sec as reported here.
This is stock firmware right?

Also your tld3 kernel network speeds are 50 Mbits/sec faster than mine.

Here is avaraged summary report:

Kernel Version	5.8.5 tld-1	5.9.3 tld-3	5.9.3 tld-4
iperf	        196 Mbits/sec	722 Mbits/sec	636 Mbits/sec
Sysbench Memory	0.66ms	        0.67ms    	0.77ms
Sysbench CPU	4.33ms    	6.32ms	        6.33ms
/dev/zero	Not tested	669 MB/s	1.3 GB/s
/dev/urandom	Not tested	29.2 MB/s	31.8 MB/s

/dev/zero test 2 times faster wow.Urandom is improved, but network seems degraded about 90 Mbits/sec.Maybe my setup is bad i don't know.Maybe you can comment on results.

Also noticed your new kernel linux-5.9.3-mvebu-370xp-tld-4-bodhi.tar dtb file is linux-dtb-5.9.3-mvebu-370xp-tld-3.I am not sure if this is relevant 3 or 4.

@Tme,
Could you please share tld-4 results on your box to be sure results are correct?

Regards.

Thanks whitepawn!

As I said in the installation thread, I think the IO Cohenrency patch is not enough by itself. There must be other changes that we don't have in Debian kernel.

It is not relevant, because the DTB is the same so I did not create a new DTB tarball.

Hi bodhi,

I have tested the performance of all the 4 versions of your Linux kernel 5.9.3-mvebu-370xp, as well as the stock Netgear kernel for ReadyNAS RN102. My laptop was cabled to the box via a gigabit router. All tests were performed 3 times, but only the median results are reported here.

Thanks Trond,

We can see also from the other thread the iperf tests by David and I, we can get to ~940Mbs when the Mirabox is the client:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,92514,112399#msg-112399

So now I'm interested in seeing if as the server, the Mirabox and RN102 can achieve that speed.

===

In your test, you got 763Mbs as client so that's something we shouldfind out why.

          A      B      C      D      E      F
tld-3    663   31.6   24.4   52.1    763    621

And the other interesting test is tld-4. According to this test, the IO Coherency is working (A and B)

          A      B      C      D      E      F
tld-4   1300   31.6   23.0   54.4    647    626

Hi

I hope someone can help me with restoring my rn102.After load the uboot via kwboot now I can't save uboot to nand .Error: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree.Could not find a valid device tree.

Hi makczo,
Are you trying to load stock firmware?If so which guide are you using?Is this one?

NAS is after full nand erase chip.I have normal comunication and flashing with recovery disc , uart mtd0 and debian , read ok. but not write in memory.After restart power all is deleted.Tftp comunication not work . How can I save uboot and partitions via console commands ?I think NAND it's blocked or broken.

Your NAND is not broken. You can still boot with stock u-boot on mtd0.

Your kernel on NAND is also OK.

NAND read: device 0 offset 0xd4000, size 0x6000
24576 bytes read: OK
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 02000000 ...
Image Name: Linux-3.0.101.RN_ARM.4
Created: 2015-04-01 23:06:44 UTC
Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 3158996 Bytes = 3 MiB
Load Address: 00008000
Entry Point: 00008000
Verifying Checksum ... OK

But when loading initrd, it reads from USB:

reading /initrd-recovery.gz


## Loading init Ramdisk from Legacy Image at 03000000 ...
Image Name: initrd-recovery
Created: 2017-12-22 19:19:16 UTC

Data Size: 2729653 Bytes = 2.6 MiB
Load Address: 00000000
Entry Point: 00000000
Verifying Checksum ... OK

And it has some problem finding the DTB:

ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree
Could not find a valid device tree

You could install Debian on USB or HDD, and not restoring stock OS:

If you want to restore stock then investigate why the recovery FW on USB is not good. Perhaps recreate that recovery USB.

Good Day. Wondering if someone could sort of share the current status of this project? I have an RN102 sitting around not doing anything at the moment that I'd love to flash with Debian with the goal of running OMV on it for an offsite NAS\Backup solution. I'm looking through the posts and trying to perceive the steps to flash the device with the Debian image. Is there a step by step somewhere? I'm assuming it's necessary to use the Netgear Recovery Tool at:
https://kb.netgear.com/29952/How-do-I-use-the-USB-Recovery-Tool-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system

Thanks in advanced for any details that can be shared...

Somehow I've forgot this until now (I'm searching for this topic because I remember someone has suggested enhancements), thanks for the suggestion!
