About this documentPurpose 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:Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. xPico-SMT EVB, Wi-Fi RF test user guide, revision 1.0Eason, WP/SiP/HW, 2014/11/5 Page 3
Figure 1. xPico-SMT EVB setupNext, you should install ftdi driver by type command as follow in the command line:$ sudo rmmod ftdi_sio$ sudo rmmod usbserial$ sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0xa5c product=0x43fa Finally, use the tool minicom to open uart port ttyUSB1 as follow:$ minicom -s 1. choose Serial port setup A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyUSB1 2. choose Exit After that, you will have opened ttyUSB1 using minicom. The testing environment is similar to the structure bellowFigure 2. Testing EnvironmentUniversal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. xPico-SMT EVB, Wi-Fi RF test user guide, revision 1.0Eason, WP/SiP/HW, 2014/11/5 Page 4
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] - Join an AP. DHCP is needed. scan - Scan all enabled channels and print a list of Aps found. start_ap <ssid> <open|wpa|wpa2> <key> <channel> -Start AP mode. iperf - Run iperf –help for usage. ping - Get status. status - Get status. set_tx_power <0-32> - Set the tx power in dBm. get_tx_powerUniversal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. xPico-SMT EVB, Wi-Fi RF test user guide, revision 1.0Eason, WP/SiP/HW, 2014/11/5 Page 5
- Gets the tx power in dBm. set_bg_rate - Sets rate for the B/G PHY get_bg_rate - Gets rate for the B/G PHY thread [priority] <cmds> - Spawns a new thread for the specified command. Optionally run at a specific priority. thread_kill <thread id> - Kills the specified running thread thread_list - Lists the current running threads thread_spawn [priority] <cmds> - Spawns a new thread for the specified command. Optionally run at a specific priority. Figure 3. Console helpFor example, to join an AP with no security enabled:Start join to an AP> join Buffalo-OPEN open Joining : Buffalo-OPEN Exit wiced_wifi_prepare_join in Wiced/WWD/internal/wwd_wifi.c at 790 Failed to join : Buffalo-OPEN .. retrying Exit wiced_wifi_prepare_join in Wiced/WWD/internal/wwd_wifi.c at 790 Successfully joined : Buffalo-OPEN Obtaining IP address via DHCP Network ready IP: 172.18.121.156 Start running Iperf throughput tests:Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. xPico-SMT EVB, Wi-Fi RF test user guide, revision 1.0Eason, 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 -sStart an UDP server> iperf -s -uStart an UDP multi-cast server bound to 224.1.1.1:> iperf -s -u -B 224.1.1.1Start a TCP client:>iperf -c 192.168.1.136Start 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 10MThe 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 -uStart 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 -sStart 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 6000xPico> iperf -c 192.168.1.136 -u -b 10M -t 90 -p 7000HOST>iperf -s -u -i 10 -p 7000Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. xPico-SMT EVB, Wi-Fi RF test user guide, revision 1.0Eason, WP/SiP/HW, 2014/11/5 Page 7

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. Copyright © 2013, Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd.
