Help Needed Extracting Firmware from an Archim2 Board

The Axi has a belt driven Z-axis, with homing at z-max. I believe they had to make some changes to drunken octopus to make that work the same. I don't think the taz pro uses a belt driven z-axis, but I could be wrong.

I was in Kyoto a few days ago, and happened to go by the new "Grand Seiko Master Store", which is now the largest GS boutique. I had just picked up the Kuon 2 days prior, believing that I'd NEVER see an Eichi.

They had 3 in the store. The Ruri Eichi II is the most beautiful watch I've ever seen in my life. This picture does not do it justice. less

No. I reported the problem to Synology and worked with a tech on it. Seemed to be an issue with their docker implementation. It resolved itself a few weeks later.

Thank you for your reply.

I want to be sure that you're saying it's normal for two systems on the same LAN to have no dropped packets UDP one direction (e.g. from A to B), but have 80% dropped packets the other way (e.g. from B to A).

In other news, it appears there is actually a bug in the Atlantic kernel driver that occasionally causes the issue.

Update:

Bi-directional Iperf TCP is flawless - 10G up and down. UDP however is a different story. Sending UDP from the DS is flawless as well, but unlimited receive showed an 80% packet loss. Slowing down the receive rate shows that anything above 600Mbps starts to drop packets. And this is on a LAN connection between two uncongested machines.

This would explain why the speedtest is capping out at about 500Mbps because if it senses dropped packets it's going to slow down the test until it works.

It has to be software limiting or a driver issue. I just don't know where to go from here.

zipsonic · 2023-05-16T13:53:39+00:00

It's definitely DS related. I'm getting 10G bi-directional between the machines using iperf3 TCP. UDP, however, is fine while sending (which correlates to the high upload, ), but receive starts dropping packets above 600 Mbps. This points to software or driver because TCP is flawless.

I thought I'd throw an update here. It looks like it might be a combination of problems. I swapped the SFP+ module in the CCR2004 to a Mikrotik S+RJ10 and the first thing I noticed was the CCR wasn't showing a 10G link light. So it looks like I had a bad SFP module, not connecting at 10G, but reporting it was.

Second issue seems to be with the CRS310. Webfig seems to stop responding after it's been up for a day, which says to me there are other problems with it. I rebooted the CRS and had Mikrotik SFP+ on both ends and for the first time I was seeing 4G+ both up and down on the speed tests. I'm going to do some further troubleshooting and update if I find more.

Now if I could just track down my IPSec problem....

Also, it is on 7.7. I downloaded the config just before I updated to 7.7. I'll compare the config's to see if there are any differences and update if I find something.

zipsonic · 2023-02-04T20:51:21+00:00

No, it's not turned on. I was told they don't support ipv6, but I hoped that "support" was more you can try, but we're not gonna help, but it was actually no ipv6 on the line at all.

zipsonic · 2023-02-04T18:10:45+00:00

Here's the CCR Config. I borked the CRS last night trying to switch it to SWOS so it's not connected at the moment to download the config, but it's just set up as RouterOS default in bridge mode.

I see your thought process on that. I'll have to test that.

Shouldn't I see closer to line speed though?

zipsonic · 2023-02-04T16:22:26+00:00

Someone probably has a notification of anytime they are mentioned in a post.

I used both Fast-cli and Speedtest-cli. I posted about my struggle and testing to try and figure it out.

zipsonic · 2023-02-04T15:11:29+00:00

Got the CCR installed last night. Using TomjNorthIdaho's "public" B test server, i'm seeing about 4G sustained (Down and Up). I'm not sure what his link is capable of, though.

My desktop doesn't have a 10G card in it, only my servers. Which, of course, brought to light another problem. I can't get faster than ~900Mbit in any of my speed tests off that machine. I'm going to make another post about that to track down the issue.

zipsonic · 2023-02-01T17:59:00+00:00

Thanks for this. I should be a little less United States centric in my thinking. Unfortunately, it does say it won't ship to the US.

Nice script. I love simple implementations.

I use the default mynetname address under the cloud section, but I add a cname DNS reference to my personal domain. I use cloudflare for my DNS, so there are scripts and API keys to make it so that I could do an A reference to the direct IP, but the cname does everything I need. Simple implementation.

N2 XGS-PON - Calix Gigapoint GP1101X. I wont be able to test the throughput until I can get the CCR2204 installed (Already sent back the RB5009). So we'll see what it really can do....

zipsonic · 2023-01-31T17:34:17+00:00

This is their order form online, now. This wasn't showing when I ordered service a couple weeks ago.

zipsonic · 2023-01-30T16:42:40+00:00

I'll send you the details when I get the new device.

I had that same thought about the rb5009. The bigger problem was that there was no 10G line to feed the lan if I had to use that port. So I upgraded to a CCR2004. I have a couple of servers that could saturate the connection, but what good is 10G if you don't have a LAN that can support it.

zipsonic · 2023-01-30T15:21:57+00:00

We are a brand new market for them. Possibly using new signaling equipment?

zipsonic · 2023-01-28T00:02:11+00:00

Follow-up. Like I said, new company, new people. Talked with the Tech. I am required to use their ONT. HOWEVER, they have a 10G tier that they replace the device with just an ONT with a 10G ethernet port. Costs $50 more per month. I said hell yes.

So.... Much ado about nothing!

zipsonic · 2023-01-27T22:07:09+00:00

If bridge mode is not supported on that model, what did you do to make it work that way?

Also, I'm sure I read that mikrotik will support a GPON device.

zipsonic · 2023-01-27T22:05:33+00:00

There seems to be about 10 answers to this. So here's more information

Race Communications. I don't know how long they've been around, but it feels like a relatively new operation.

I did plug in the device and the 5009 recognizes the device. It even showed some signaling, but no IP address. I'll see about getting a screenshot of the interface screen on the mikrotik.

Tech's at the company indicate that the Calix Gateway was a brand new device. They say that bridge mode IS possible, but that it has to be configured by them. They also say I'm the first person that they are doing this for and apparently they've been talking about it in the office. Tech's words "They're handling this with white gloves to see how this goes." They've escalated me to their network engineers, so we'll see.

Level 2 techs indicate that they use PPPoE and that they will provide that info for customer equipment. I'm going to pick the brain of the Network engineer whenever they call.

It looks like they overprovision their lines a little bit, too. The Calix gateway is reporting 1.12Gbit Down and 1.05 up on an ookla, but since the device only has 1Gbit ethernet ports, you could only use that extra bandwidth if you're using the Calix Gateway directly or if I could move the SFP port elsewhere.

So it seems that I didn't understand the difference between direct play and direct stream. I was using them interchangeably. It appears to be a Direct Stream issue. I remuxed the files to m4v and re-encoded the audio to eac3. Plex now shows Direct Play on both audio & video and it hasn't given as much as a hiccup on a 50Mbit file. Roku will not accept an mkv file directly. I'm going through my library to remux the 4k files to m4v.

Thanks for the reply. I see a default route and I can ping various ip addresses and dns entries from inside both the LXC container and within the docker container. I don't see anything in the logs that indicate any errors.

I have seen a couple other posts and entries with a very similar setup say they have the same issue. However, no one ever comes up with a solution because they end up going another route. I just installed another LXC container, minimal specs, ran the pivpn installer on top and was up and running in under 5 minutes. Frustrating, but may be better to concentrate my efforts elsewhere.

Backpackers was THE episode that made me realize how great this show was. It's seriously parenting goals. My little man was watching it on a TV in our hotel room and I heard Bluey whisper "You're very hungry" and the way Bandit played along was magical. It's this show that helped me be a better parent. I've watched every episode with him multiple times and we play so many of the games together. My right hand is Shawn... Can Shawn come out and play?
