  • 摘要：Verdin iMX8M Plus 是 Toradex 采用 NXP 最新的 i.MX 8M Plus 处理器的计算机模块，其具有 4x Cortex-A53 和 Cortex-M7 核心，支持神经网络加速运算的 NPU，H.265 硬件编码，CAN FD ，以及双路千兆以太网。配合 Verdin 开发板，用户可以直接测试两路以太网。文章将对网络性能做简要的测试。


Verdin iMX8M Plus 是 Toradex 采用 NXP 最新的 i.MX 8M Plus 处理器的计算机模块，其具有 4x Cortex-A53 和 Cortex-M7 核心，支持神经网络加速运算的 NPU，H.265 硬件编码，CAN FD ，以及双路千兆以太网。配合 Verdin 开发板，用户可以直接测试两路以太网。文章将对网络性能做简要的测试。

 

使用 Toradex Easy Installer 安装 Linux BSP v5.3.0， 默认的配置已经支持两路千兆以太网。因此安装完成重启后即可看到两个网络接口。

IP 地址设置如下。

PC1:192.168.200.1

PC2:192.168.20.132

Eth0: 192.168.200.150

Eth1:192.168.20.120

 

测试场景为

l Eth0和 Eth1 单独向 PC1 和 PC2 发送数据

l Eth0和 Eth1同时向 PC1 和 PC2 发送数据

l Eth0和 Eth1 单独接收来自 PC1 和 PC2 的数据

l Eth0和 Eth1 同时接收来自 PC1 和 PC2 的数据

l Eth0 上的数据转发到 Eth1

期间测试模块 Eth0和 Eth1 的最大带宽以及 CPU 占用率。

 

Eth0和 Eth1 单独向 PC1 和 PC2 发送数据

在 PC1 和 PC2 上运行 iperf3 服务器。

----------------------------------

$ iperf3 -s

----------------------------------

 

在 Verdin iMX8M Plus 运行 iperf3 向 PC 发送数据。Eth0 和 Eth1 的测试数据如下。

Eth0 上的数据转发到 Eth1

为了将 Eth0 的数据转发到 Eth1，需要设置 /etc/sysctl.conf 。

----------------------------------

# needed for routing, including masquerading or NAT

net/ipv4/ip_forward=1  

----------------------------------

 

然后运行 sysctl 另设置生效，当然重启系统也可以。

----------------------------------

root@verdin-imx8mp:~# sysctl -p

----------------------------------

 

设置转发规则。

----------------------------------

root@verdin-imx8mp:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

root@verdin-imx8mp:~# iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

root@verdin-imx8mp:~# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

----------------------------------

 

在 PC2 上启动 iperf3 服务器，PC 1 运行 iper3 客户端发送数据，所有的数据由 Verdin iMX8M Plus 负责从 Eth0 转发到 Eth1 上。

Verdin iMX8M Plus CPU 占用率：

NXP iMX8M Plus 双网口性能测试_web2105.png 

 

 

数据汇总如下。

NXP iMX8M Plus 双网口性能测试_web2117.png 

两个千兆网口无论是在单独还是同时收发数据时都达到920Mbps 以上，包括网口之间的数据转发，基本接近满带宽。在 CPU 占用方面，当两个千兆网口以接近满带宽速率同时工作时，其中一个核心站占用率会超过 70%。

 

 

总结

Verdin iMX8M Plus 的双网口设计为多网口需求的应用提供了理想的选择，例如在工业自动化中，一个网口运行实时性要求高的应用如 EtherCAT，而另外一个则可以用于一般的网络通信。或者另一个网口可以用作冗余接口，或者连接两个不同的网络。Verdin iMX8M Plus 还有许多其他实用的功能，我们会在后续的文章进行介绍
