Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a satellite crate for my existing Artiq system. My two system specs are listed below.
-UCLA3Master:
1x Kasli-SOC v1.0
1x DIO-BNC 8x TTL IO
2x SMA-DIO 8x TTL IO
4x Urukul 9910, 4x 1GS/s DDS (Dip switches are set to off on all DDS boards)
1x Zotino 32x 16Bit DAC
-UCLA3Satellite:
1x Kasli-SOC v1.1
1x Mirny/Almazy (Connected to EXT0)
After I set up the systems and flashed my UCLA3 stand alone to the new UCLA3master firmware things seemed to work fine for a few days. It seemed that I would get successful results when I connect SFP0 Master to SFP0 SAT. I have also tried SFP1 Mast to SFP0 SAT and get the same errors. However, after a few days of operation the satellite stopped responding to the master crates pings.
I perused the forms and attempted the repairs that were suggested here such as replacing the SFP connectors with direct attached ones and even tried the ones listed here https://github.com/sinara-hw/meta/wiki/SFP to no avail. The connection remains temperamental at best or refuses to establish a connection at worst. I have a couple of UART screen shots below:
USUAL UNWANTED BEHAVIOR:
Master start up log:

Satellite start up log:

However sometimes upon start up the satellite will throw one of two strange errors:
Occasional hard to reproduce error1:

Occasional hard to reproduce error2:

On the odd chance that boxes connect I get the following situation on the master and satellite:

Finally at the recommendation of the help desk I connected the SFP on each kasli-soc to itself and recorded the startup behavior:

Any help would be appreciated
Best,
