Every soak round now reports the background jobs
- Script B's monitoring loop prints
bgctl list(platform jobs) andjobs(the login shell's own background jobs) on every pass, right after the platform data. A stress job that dies three hours into an overnight soak now shows up as a shorter list on the next round, instead of only being noticed at the end — or not at all. - The two lists answer different questions and are both worth having:
bgctlknows about the platform's job runner,jobsknows about anything the macro backgrounded in that shell.
A single table for all 144 margin channels
docs/LTC2980_channel_map.csvflattens the ninesettings/*.conffiles into one sheet —Board,CONN,Ch,NetName,Vnom— so "which board and channel isPVDD1V5_TSCon?" is one search instead of opening nine files.tools/gen_channel_map.shregenerates it. The CSV is output, not source: edit the.conffiles and re-run the script, never the other way round.- Unused channels stay in the table as
NC/-rather than being dropped, because the channel number is also the PMBus page (ch / 8picks the chip,ch % 8picks the page) — filtering the gaps out would shift everything after them.
The bench command lists that these scripts came from
tools/100G_PRBS.txt,tools/TR518.txtandtools/fan_ctrl.txtjoin the existingtraffic_loopback_*.txtset: the rawbcmcmd/ sysfs sequences, kept in the form you can paste into a console when a script is misbehaving and you want to drive the hardware directly.
🐛 Bug fixes
The soak loop ran as fast as the DUT could answer
while 1had no pause at all, so each round started the moment the previous one finished. Over a long soak that means constant console traffic and a log full of near-identical samples taken seconds apart. The loop now ends each round withpause 60.- Note the gap this leaves: the Status sheet asks for a 10-minute sampling interval, and 60 seconds is still hard-coded rather than configurable. This makes the loop sane, it does not finish the job.
A comment promised a cadence the code never had
- The loop was labelled
Get data every 10minswhile running with no delay whatsoever. It now says what it does.
