[XK-AVB-LC-SYS] file transmission possible?

Post by crappidy »

Hey guys,
is it possible to transmit a file (no audio file) via two XK-AVB-LC-SYS boards?
I want to do both, transmit audio files (high prior traffic) and transmit "normal" files (best effort traffic) to show that there can be multiple traffic classes at the same time.

Hi Chris,
By "is it possible to transmit a file (no audio file) via two XK-AVB-LC-SYS boards" do you mean with the AVB stack running? XK-AVB-LC-SYS itself is just a board..

If so, you will need a mechanism for that. Probably something like FTP which in turn will need TCP/IP to run. You can add TCP/IP to this reference design (http://www.xmos.com/download/private/AN ... .1rc3).pdf) but due to limited memory (64K on the chip on the XK-AVB-LC-SYS) you will not be able to have a talker/listener. Just a listener..

If you wan to show the reservation mechanism working then perhaps use a switch with an AVB stream enabled and connect two IP end stations to it and hammer the network?
