|
Project knowledge that moves and versions with the repo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [goals.md](goals.md) — what cabletest is for and what it must output.
|
|
|
|
|
- [state.md](state.md) — where things are now: committed vs stashed, hardware in flight, bringup plan, open items.
|
|
|
|
|
- [hardware.md](hardware.md) — the box, interfaces, host tuning, how to run.
|
|
|
|
|
- [transports.md](transports.md) — how to reach module-PHY diagnostics, why the NIC choice governs it, and the register-level protocols.
|
|
|
|
|
- [modules.md](modules.md) — per-module diagnostics, register maps, cable-length physics, and the Marvell brick hazard.
|
|
|
|
|
- [measurement.md](measurement.md) — how to measure correctly; performance results and dead ends.
