Development For Linux

Basic Development

Advanced Development

Installed Docker

To have a test, if docker has installed in your image.

  • sudo docker run --rm hello-world

EMAC

Use iperf3 to test gmac

1. On PC Terminal:

  • Execute "iperf3 -s"

2. On M3 console:

  • TCP test: "iperf3 -c serverIP"
  • UDP test: "iperf3 -u -c serverIP"
