Rare project developers

[Alexander Gall <>]

Hi Gawen

I have integrated the BSP into our RARE release packaging for testing.
This is for version apsn-bsp-9.9.0-1629ccd. I now have access to the
APS portal but it's unclear to me where I should look for newer
tarballs. You say you "attach it to the service ticket", but I don't
know what exactly that means.

Anyway, the BSP is working with the tweaks you suggested (the efuse
patch and disabling Thrift). There was one issue I ran into on the
system that I have access to for testing wrt the temperature sensors:

Temp_L0          | 60.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 0.000     | 3.000     | 
5.000     | 75.000    | 80.000    | 85.000    
Temp_L1          | 48.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 0.000     | 3.000     | 
5.000     | 75.000    | 80.000    | 85.000    
Temp_L2          | 51.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 0.000     | 3.000     | 
5.000     | 75.000    | 80.000    | 85.000    
Temp_L3          | 35.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 0.000     | 3.000     | 
5.000     | 75.000    | 80.000    | 85.000    
Temp_CPUB        | 53.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 0.000     | 3.000     | 
5.000     | 75.000    | 80.000    | 85.000    
Temp_L4          | 49.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 0.000     | 5.000     | 
10.000    | 80.000    | 83.000    | 85.000    
Temp_MAC         | 72.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 10.000    | 20.000    | 
30.000    | 100.000   | 105.000   | 110.000   

The BSP uses a warning threshold of 60 and Temp_MAC exceeds that. This
causes a massive flood of log messages. I've applied a patch that
raises the threshold to 80 for now. Two questions:

   1) Is the threshold of 60 really appropriate?
   2) Can you consider a rate-limit for the warning messages?

Regards,
Alex
