    New features

    Background NFC polling

    • New nfc_polling.sh runs blantons_nfc_validate.py over and over in the background and keeps score. start / stop / status / tail / report / clear / fg.

    • report works while the poll is still running. It only reads the log, so it never disturbs the run — and it labels itself RUNNING so a mid-soak snapshot is not mistaken for the final answer:

      state    : RUNNING (pid=2240323) -- this is a snapshot, the count is still moving
      rounds   : 240
      PASS     : 238
      FAIL     : 2
      ERROR    : 0   (tool did not produce a verdict)
      RESULT   : FAIL
      
      --- tags seen ---
        046F7BD2142290       238
      
    • ERROR is counted apart from FAIL. A round where the tool printed neither [PASS] nor [FAIL] — it crashed, the file was missing, it hung past the timeout — did not measure anything. That is a different problem from a tag that would not read, and rolling the two together hides whichever one you are not looking for.

    • report also lists which NFCID1s were seen and how often, and the last ten failures with their timestamps and reasons.

    • start clears the log first, so a report always describes the run you just did rather than everything since the DUT was built.

    • Script A takes a 30-second NFC baseline, Script B starts the poll for the soak, Script C stops it with the other monitors and reports.

    🐛 Bug fixes

    The NFC log never reached the USB stick

    • Script C copied nfc_polling.log; the file is nfc_poll.log. The cp failed, nothing checked it, and the run finished looking fine — you would only notice back at the desk with a job archive that had no NFC log in it.

    File Contents
    Script_ABC_Blanton_V1.1.2.zip The full Tera Term working directory, including Blanton_Script/ to copy onto the DUT

    After copying to the DUT:

    chmod +x ~/Blanton_Script/*.sh      # see below
    grep -rlU $'\r' ~/Blanton_Script    # expect no output
    

    blanton_ber.sh and nfc_polling.sh are invoked by the macros through ./ or ~/, so they need the execute bit along with bmc_monitor.sh and usb_target.sh — neither git nor a Windows/USB copy carries it reliably. blantons_nfc_validate.py does not need it: nfc_polling.sh calls it through python3 precisely so one more chmod cannot be forgotten.

    ⚠️ Before you run

    • nfc_polling.sh start clears the log. Script B starts a fresh poll for the soak, which wipes Script A's baseline log — the baseline numbers are already in the master console log by then, but the file is gone.
    • NFC log path is ~/Blanton_Script/log/nfc_poll.log and it is copied into the job directory by Script C for the USB archive.
    • These three tests cannot share the switch. blanton_ber.sh, blanton_tr518.sh and blanton_traffic_linespeed all take over port loopback and L2 learning. Script C already orders BER after the traffic report.
    • PRBS takes the links down while blanton_ber.sh is armed. That is the test working, not a fault.
    • ce0 keeps running until you stop it. An interrupted run leaves the 100G port saturated with nothing in show interfaces status to hint at it.
    • Two numbers must stay in step: Script C's sleep 30 and blanton_ber.sh's BER_INTERVAL.
    • FAN_SPEED is 100 — the fans run flat out unless you change config.ttl.
    • Declare the switch population with SWB_UNIT0 / SWB_UNIT1.
    • PRBS on the two 100G uplinks (port_prbs_monitor.sh) is still not wired into the macros.
    • The three items listed as unverified in v1.1.0 are still unverified: the ce0 ingress mirror, the 120s settle in blanton_tr518.sh, and test mode nr=no on stop. See v1.1.0 for the one-command check on each.
