The thermal / safety macro started mlucas-avx2 with '&', exactly as
Script B used to, so it carried the same failure: the load ended quietly
when the console went away - in the one test where a long, steady full
load is the entire point of the run.
It now uses the same mlucas-amm transient unit, and 'systemctl is-active
mlucas-amm' joins 'bgctl list' and 'jobs' in the monitor loop.
Script 4 still has no teardown section, so the matching stop stays
manual, and it is now two commands rather than one:
blanton_tr518.sh stop
systemctl stop mlucas-amm
Closing Tera Term no longer stops the CPU load, and 'kill $(jobs -p)'
never could reach a unit. Script A's V1.1.8 history, CLAUDE.md,
ARCHITECTURE.md and the release note all say so now; the version stays
V1.1.8.

# v1.1.8 — The CPU stress no longer dies with your terminal
|
|
|
|
## ✨ New features
|
|
|
|
**`mlucas` now runs as a systemd unit, so it survives a lost session**
|
|
* The AMD CPU load is started as `systemd-run --unit=mlucas-amm --property=Type=exec --property=Restart=always --property=RestartSec=2`, instead of being backgrounded with `&` in the login shell. Script B and the thermal/safety macro (Script 4) both use it.
|
|
* As a shell job it belonged to that one terminal: close Tera Term, drop the console, reconnect on a different session, and the load was gone — while `jobs` from the new session showed nothing to tell you. A multi-day soak could spend most of its length with an idle CPU and produce thermal numbers that looked fine because nothing was loading the part.
|
|
* `Restart=always` brings it back if it exits on its own, and the log is appended (`>>`) inside the unit while being truncated (`>`) once before the unit starts, so a restart adds to the run rather than erasing it.
|
|
* Script B now prints `systemctl is-active mlucas-amm` beside `jobs`, both in the one-shot check and in every pass of the monitor loop. One word — `active` — tells you the CPU is still loaded.
|
|
|
|
> The old `&` line is kept commented out directly above the new one, to fall back to if `systemd-run` is not available on a build.
|
|
|
|
**Script C stops the unit and brings its log home**
|
|
* `systemctl stop mlucas-amm` was added next to the existing `kill $(jobs -p)`, and `mlucas_amm_log` is copied into `/host/hw-eval/jobs/` with the other stress logs.
|
|
* `kill $(jobs -p)` cannot reach a systemd unit, so without this the load would have run straight through the post-test snapshot and into the next test — every temperature and power reading taken at full load, with nothing in `show interfaces status` to reveal it.
|
|
|
|
**`EN_timestamp` — turn the per-line log timestamp on or off from `config.ttl`**
|
|
* Script A's `logopen` takes its 5th argument from the new flag: `logopen filename 0 1 1 EN_timestamp`. The argument order (`<file> <binary> <append> <PlainText> <timestamp>`) is now spelled out above the call.
|
|
|
|
**`BMC_USB_RUNTIME` — the BMC USB ping duration is a knob, not a constant**
|
|
* It was hard-coded to `-w 14400` (4 hours), which no longer matched the soak lengths the SSD and USB knobs were being set to. The shipped default is `172800` (2 days).
|
|
|
|
**The shipped stress defaults are now one hour**
|
|
* `SSD_RUNTIME` and `USB_RUNTIME` go from 600 to `3600`. v1.1.7 shipped a 10 minute stress by default.
|
|
|
|
## 🐛 Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
**`publish.sh` produced a different bundle depending on whose machine it ran on**
|
|
* `rsync` copied whatever sat in `src/Script_ABC_Blanton/`, so a developer with the `hammer/` mlucas binaries in their working tree shipped a ~100 MB zip while a fresh clone shipped ~200 KB. `hammer/` is now excluded from the bundle and ignored by git.
|
|
* `publish.sh -h` also printed the first lines of code along with the usage text, and would have truncated the usage block as the header grew. It now reads the header up to the first line of code.

| File | Contents |

|---|---|
|
|
| `Script_ABC_Blanton_V1.1.8.zip` | The full Tera Term working directory, including `Blanton_Script/` to copy onto the DUT |
|
|
|
|
**After copying to the DUT:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x ~/Blanton_Script/*.sh # see below
|
|
grep -rlU $'\r' ~/Blanton_Script # expect no output
|
|
ls ~/hammer/tools/amd/mlucas-avx2 # must already be there - see below
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`blanton_ber.sh`, `nfc_polling.sh`, `blanton_tr518.sh`, `blanton_multiphase_margin.sh`, `pwr_brick.sh` and the two `TH6_SWB*_power_readback.sh` are invoked 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.

## ⚠️ Before you run
|
|
|
|
* **Replace `config.ttl` along with the macros.** `EN_timestamp` and `BMC_USB_RUNTIME` are new, and Tera Term aborts the macro on an undefined variable rather than treating it as 0 — keeping an old `config.ttl` stops Script A at the `logopen` line.
|
|
* **`hammer/` is not in the bundle.** The ~99 MB of mlucas binaries comes with the DUT image, not from this repo. If `~/hammer/tools/amd/mlucas-avx2` is missing, Script B does not stop — it starts a unit that fails and is restarted every 2 seconds. Check for the file before you start.
|
|
* **The timestamp format is not in the macro.** `EN_timestamp` only decides whether there is one; the format lives in Tera Term's Setup → Additional settings → Log, stored in that PC's `TERATERM.INI`. Two benches running the same macro can produce differently stamped logs.
|
|
* **The three stress durations are deliberately different**: SSD and USB at 1 hour, the BMC USB ping at 2 days. Set each to match the soak you are actually running.
|
|
* **`--runtime` is the job's overall limit, not a per-pass one.** `qfx5252-stress-*` stops after `RUNTIME` seconds whatever `--passes` says. For a 24 hour soak set `RUNTIME` to `86400`.
|
|
* **`mlucas-amm` has not been run on hardware yet.** The unit resolves `~` through bash's fallback to the passwd entry, because systemd does not set `HOME` for a system service without `User=`. It should land on `/root/hammer`, the same path the interactive shell uses — confirm it on the bench, or change both paths to an absolute `/root/hammer/...`.
|
|
* **Script 4 uses the same unit but has no teardown.** The thermal/safety macro now starts `mlucas-amm` the same way Script B does, and it still ends at `while 1` — so stopping it means `blanton_tr518.sh stop` **and** `systemctl stop mlucas-amm`. Closing Tera Term does not stop the CPU load any more.
|
|
* **Script 5 (reboot cycle) is still unverified on hardware**, still has no exit condition, and `wait "Booting in blind mode"` still has no `timeout` guard.
|
|
* **`blanton_multiphase_margin.sh save` is permanent**, and must not be mixed with `margin.sh` — same rails, two access paths, no interlock.
|
|
* **`READ_VIN` and `READ_IIN` are still not in the ADPM12200 coefficient table.**
|
|
* **The BMC USB service log only exists on the USB stick.**
|
|
* **These three cannot share the switch**: `blanton_ber.sh`, `blanton_tr518.sh`, `blanton_traffic_linespeed`.
|
|
* **`FAN_SPEED` is 100.**
|
|
* **Still unverified from v1.1.0**: the `ce0` ingress mirror, the 120 s settle in `blanton_tr518.sh`, and `test mode nr=no` on stop.
