2026-08-04 22:12:07 -07:00

main_test.go

Take the rate epoch from the slowest stream's frontier, since reading a bucket claims every stream has delivered through it

main.go

Hold a fatal error on the framebuffer and reboot in five minutes rather than exiting, since init's death drops the kernel's panic screen over the cause

cabletest docs

Project knowledge that moves and versions with the repo.

goals.md — what cabletest is for and what it must output.
state.md — where things are now: committed vs stashed, hardware in flight, bringup plan, open items.
hardware.md — the box, interfaces, host tuning, how to run.
transports.md — how to reach module-PHY diagnostics, why the NIC choice governs it, and the register-level protocols.
modules.md — per-module diagnostics, register maps, cable-length physics, and the Marvell brick hazard.
measurement.md — how to measure correctly; performance results and dead ends.
open-questions.md — genuinely open problems worth deeper thinking before the X520 hardware arrives.

Vendor PDFs (BCM84891L transport + command handler, Marvell 88E151x datasheet) live alongside these.
