1 Test Network Performance

In Friendlycore we can use the iperf utility to test network performance. Make sure your board is connected properly and the hardware works before start testing

To avoid interference from unexpected sources use an independent IP section and test with a PC host.

When you test Ethernet please disable WiFi. You can disable WiFi by running the following commands.

 ifconfig wlan0 down
 ifconfig

When you test WiFi please disconnect or disable Ethernet. You can disable Ethernet by running the following commands.

 ifconfig eth0 down

Run your PC host as a server and your board as a client. Test your board's transmission performance by sending data from your board to your PC host.

1. Check your PC's IP address by running the following command. In our test our PC's IP address was 192.168.10.100

 ifconfig

2. Open a terminal on your PC and run the iperf command as follows on the terminal to set your PC as a server

 iperf -s

3. Open a terminal on your board and run the iperf command as follows on the terminal to set your board as a client. Make sure to fill your PC's IP address in the iperf command

 iperf -c 192.168.10.100 -t 60 -i 1

We tested a NanoPi R1S-H3 board and here is what we got:
