+# v1.2.6 — FDR statistics around the traffic run, and unused lanes turned off before the baseline
+
+## ✨ New features
+
+**`blanton_fdr.sh` — FDR statistics through `phydiag fdrstat`**
+* Four sub-commands, each run on unit 0 then unit 1, over ports `'1-259,270-565'`:
+  `start` (`fdrstat STArt bin_group=both Interval=30`), `clear` (`fdrstat clear`), `rdcnt` (`fdrstat Counters`), `stop` (`fdrstat STOp`).
+* Output is printed as is, under a `### [time] unit N: ...` header — no parsing, no PASS/FAIL.
+* `-u 0` / `-u 1` for one switch unit, `-i <sec>` for the interval, `-n` for a dry run. `FDR_PORTS` overrides the port list.
+
+**FDR runs alongside the traffic test in Script A, B and C**
+* **Script A** wraps its traffic baseline: `fdr start` after `init`, `fdr clear` after `clear`, `fdr rdcnt` after the run, `fdr stop` after the traffic stop. The traffic run is now **40 s instead of 15 s**, so the counters are read after the first 30 s interval has been published — the same rule as `prbsstat Ber`.
+* **Script B** starts and clears FDR with the traffic setup, before the soak loop — the counters run for the whole soak — and reads them (`rdcnt`) in every soak round, after the Tray ID stress.
+* **Script C** reads them (`rdcnt`) before stopping the traffic and stops FDR after it — the closing read of the counters Script B started.
+
+**Script A turns off the unused lanes before the BER baseline**
+* `unused_lanes.sh off` — TX squelch on the unused retimer lanes and TSC31 (`cd112-cd115`) disabled on the TH6, on both switch boards.

+
+## ⚠️ Before you run
+
+* **`chmod +x` after deploying.** `blanton_fdr.sh`, `unused_lanes.sh` and `retimer_lanes.sh` are all called by path; `unused_lanes.sh` also refuses to start if `retimer_lanes.sh` is not executable.
+* **`blanton_fdr.sh stop` sends `fdrstat STOp` — that keyword is inferred from `prbsstat STOp` and has not been checked on the bench.** `bcmcmd` exits 0 even when the BCM shell rejects a command, so if it is wrong, FDR keeps running and only the log shows it. Check the first run.
+* **FDR only runs when both switch units are enabled** (`SWB_UNIT0 = SWB_UNIT1 = 1`). The single-unit branches have no FDR, and Script A's single-unit traffic run is still 15 s.
+* **Script B's per-round `fdr rdcnt` is not gated by the unit settings** — with one unit enabled, FDR was never started and each round just logs whatever `fdrstat Counters` returns.
+* **Nothing turns the unused lanes back on.** Script C has no `unused_lanes.sh on`; run it by hand when the DUT is needed in its normal state. Whether a reboot clears it has not been checked.
+* **`unused_lanes.sh off` is not gated by `SWB_UNIT0` / `SWB_UNIT1`** — it always acts on both boards.
+* **`blanton_ber.sh` (Script A / C) still uses `p=3` and `sleep 30`**; see v1.2.5.
+* **Script 4 has no teardown**: finish it with `blanton_tr518.sh stop` **and** `systemctl stop mlucas-amm`.
+* **`FAN_SPEED` is 100.**

+# v1.2.7 — FDR on the cabled ports only, and the vendor NFC tool updated to v2.5
+
+## 🐛 Bug fixes
+
+**`blanton_fdr.sh` no longer prints the uncabled ports** (v1.0.1)
+* The default port list was `'1-259,270-565'`, which also covered ports nothing is cabled to (cd15..19, cd47..51, cd111..115, ...).
+* It is now the cabled-port list from `blanton_traffic_linespeed.sh` (`TL_PS_PORTS`), the same one `blanton_ber_debug.sh` uses:
+  `1-24,40-96,112-168,184-240,256-259,270-308,310-327,342-380,382-399,414-452,454-471,486-524,526-543,558-565`.
+* Script A, B and C pick this up with no change to the TTLs.
+
+## 📦 Vendor tool update
+
+**`blantons_nfc_validate.py` v2.3 → v2.5** — the customer's `qfx5252-nfc-validate`, renamed to keep the name `nfc_polling.sh` calls.
+* New: `--read-ndef` (Type 2 / Type 4 NDEF, Text and AMD FRU records), `--write-ndef` / `--set-location`, `--max-ndef-bytes`; NCI data packets with credit flow control.
+* Fixed: a `FileNotFoundError` crash while listing the processes that hold the NFC device open.
+* Bad arguments now print `[FAIL]` and exit 1 — `nfc_polling.sh` counts that as **FAIL**, not ERROR.
+* The default `test --debug` output (`[PASS]` / `[FAIL]` lines, `NFCID1=`) is unchanged, so `nfc_polling.sh` is not modified.

+```
+
+## ⚠️ Before you run
+
+* **Port 268 (ce0, 100G uplink) is not in the FDR list** — as before. Add it with `FDR_PORTS="...,268"` if FDR is wanted there.
+* **The cabled-port list now lives in three scripts** — `blanton_traffic_linespeed.sh`, `blanton_ber_debug.sh`, `blanton_fdr.sh`. Change all three when the cabling changes.
+* **Never put the NFC write flags (`--write-ndef`, `--set-location`, `--confirm-write`) in `NFC_ARGS`** — polling would rewrite the tag every round.
+* **`blanton_fdr.sh stop` (`fdrstat STOp`) is still unverified on the bench**; see v1.2.6.
+* **Nothing turns the unused lanes back on**; run `unused_lanes.sh on` by hand. See v1.2.6.

+# blanton_fdr.sh  --  SerDes FDR statistics (phydiag fdrstat), raw output
+# =============================================================================
+# Version History:
+#   V1.0.0  2026-10-21  First version. start / clear / rdcnt / stop over
+#                       'phydiag <ports> fdrstat ...' through bcmcmd, the same
+#                       way blanton_ber_debug.sh drives prbsstat. Every bcmcmd
+#                       output is printed as is -- no parsing, no PASS/FAIL.
+#   V1.0.1  2026-10-22  Change: default FDR_PORTS is now the cabled-port list of
+#                       blanton_traffic_linespeed.sh (TL_PS_PORTS), not
+#                       '1-259,270-565' -- the old range also printed the
+#                       uncabled ports (cd15..19, cd47..51, ...). Port 268 (ce0)
+#                       is still left out; add ',268' through FDR_PORTS.
+#
+# Sub-commands (each one runs on unit 0, then unit 1):
+#     start   phydiag '<ports>' fdrstat STArt bin_group=both Interval=30
+#     clear   phydiag '<ports>' fdrstat clear
+#     rdcnt   phydiag '<ports>' fdrstat Counters
+#     stop    phydiag '<ports>' fdrstat STOp
+#
+# ⚠️ 'stop' sends 'fdrstat STOp', by analogy with 'prbsstat STOp'. It has
+#    not been checked on the bench -- if the BCM shell rejects it, look at
+#    'phydiag help' (or 'fdrstat' with no argument) for the right keyword.
+# ⚠️ bcmcmd exits 0 even when the BCM shell refuses a command, so this
+#    script cannot tell success from failure. Read the output.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./blanton_fdr.sh <start|clear|rdcnt|stop> [-u 0|1] [-i <sec>] [-n]
+#     -u 0 | -u 1   one switch unit only (default: both, 0 then 1)
