etwenandClaude Opus 5.5 738f1dd1c6 docs: Record V1.2.6 in Script A's history and add the release note

Script A: header to V1.2.6; entries for blanton_fdr.sh, the unused
lanes off in Script A, and the FDR hooks in Script A, B and C, with
notes on the unverified STOp keyword, the lanes never being turned
back on, the both-units-only gating and the exec bits.

CLAUDE.md / ARCHITECTURE.md: status and release to V1.2.6, FDR and the
unused lanes in the overview, the Script A flow, the tree and the
commands.

Raw Blame History

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.
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.

File	Contents
`Script_ABC_Blanton_V1.2.6.zip`	The full Tera Term working directory, including `Blanton_Script/` to copy onto the DUT

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

⚠️ 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.
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.
