Fetching/reading the core log in a central location?

Which ARTIQ version is it?

jonasmanthey · May 12, 2021

I think I am on the dev/beta/master branch:

Gateware ident 7.7614.011f3bdb.beta
shell-dev.nix from nix-scripts/artiq-fast @ 10e6220703
artiq (i.e. artiqSrc) @ 011f3bd

gateware compiled with

{
    "target": "kasli",
    "variant": "psi0",
    "hw_rev": "v2.0",
    "base": "standalone",
    "core_addr": "192.168.0.69",
    "peripherals": [
        {
            "type": "fastino",
            "ports": [0]
        },
        {
            "type": "zotino",
            "ports": [1]
        },
        {
            "type": "urukul",
            "hw_rev": "v1.5",
            "dds": "ad9910",
            "ports": [4, 5],
            "synchronization": true,
            "clk_sel": 2
        },
        {
            "type": "sampler",
            "hw_rev": "v2.2",
            "ports": [10, 11]
        }
   ]
}

There may be a bug, can you try the stable version?

jonasmanthey · May 21, 2021

Tried with 6.7604.040aa6fd, same result. No output from aqctl_corelog 192.168.0.69 -v

I see it in the UART log

[ 113.775219s] INFO(runtime::mgmt): new connection from 192.168.0.191:49188

jonasmanthey · May 21, 2021

Just to be clear: I want to see the same messages from the UART output in a console on another host.

Aairwoodix · May 26, 2021

It looks like aqctl_corelogwasn't updated as part of #1591. Adding something like the following should make it work (quickly tested on master - same as in comm_mgmt.py)

# (...)
# writer.write(b"ARTIQ management\n")

endian = await reader.readexactly(1)
if endian == b"e":
    endian = "<"
elif endian == b"E":
    endian = ">"
else:
    raise IOError("Incorrect reply from device: expected e/E.")

# writer.write(struct.pack("B", Request.PullLog.value))
# (...)
# while True:
    length, = struct.unpack(endian + "l", await reader.readexactly(4))

Is there a similar trick for getting the corelog out of satellite kasli's or am I restricted to using the USB serial output port only for this?

sb10q · May 27, 2021

Important errors like sequence errors are reported on the master in DRTIO systems. Why do you need the satellite logs?

Jjdp · May 27, 2021

sb10q the satellite keeps rebooting after 15-20 minutes (but only when a sequence is running) and we are trying to work out why but there are no error messages on log - setting the log level only changes how much info the master core log returns.

sb10q · May 27, 2021

If the satellite crashes like that it is better to look at its UART log anyway.

Jjdp · May 28, 2021

sb10q is there anyway to increase the log level on the satellite to maybe identify the cause?

sb10q · May 28, 2021

Check its normal UART log first.

Jjdp · May 28, 2021

sb10q here is an example of what we see - the satellite is just peridocally rebooting with no error message, the master shows the aux packet errors and the link re-establishing but doesn't report why the satellite has fallen over.

Satellite Log (Kasli just has 4x DIO SMA and 4x MCX boards)

sb10q · May 28, 2021

Is your power supply stable?

Jjdp · May 28, 2021

sb10q Yes I swaped master/satellite power and see same behaviour

sb10q · May 28, 2021

That doesn't mean anything. The power consumption can be different on both ends. What power supply are you using?

Jjdp · May 28, 2021

sb10q Fair comment, we are using two 12V, 5A adaptors (XP Power AFM60US12C2) plugged into front and rear of kasli but I will swap over to an external bench top PSU with more current incase that is the issue.

Jjdp · May 28, 2021

sb10q Tried an external benchtop PSU - current draw was only a few A at 12V, no change in behaviour

Rrowanq · Oct 18, 2023

@jdp did you ever resolve this issue? We are occasionally getting the "aux packet error (timeout)" error, accompanied by all DAC and TTL channels going to 0V.
