Hello Devs,

 

I hope this email finds you well.

 

I am reaching out to seek assistance regarding an issue I am facing in DPDK-BBdev utility, (v22.11).

 

I am performing some tests over a 5G Accelerator, ACC200 using DPDK-BBdev. I am creating custom test-vector files to generate custom load over the ACC200 device. Currently, I am performing the LDPC decoding test through code block mode. I am creating the test-vector files with help of an open-source library, sionna (https://nvlabs.github.io/sionna/). Following are the steps to create input0 and output0 used in BBdev vector file. I have pulled out this code form the following reference: https://github.com/NVlabs/sionna/discussions/54.

 

k, n, q_m = 32, 64, 2

encoder = sn.fec.ldpc.LDPC5GEncoder(k, n, num_bits_per_symbol=q_m)
c = encoder(u)

e = c.numpy()
for i in range(e.shape[0]):
    for j in flipped_positions[i]:
        e[i][j] = 1.0 if e[i][j] == 0.0 else 0.0
e = tf.convert_to_tensor(e, np.float32)
decoder = sn.fec.ldpc.LDPC5GDecoder(encoder, hard_out=True, return_infobits=True, num_iter=20, cn_type="minsum")
w = decoder(2*e - 1)

 

When I use w as input0 and u as output0 in BBdev vector file I face following validation error:

 

Enqueue 32 reqs (phys 0x17ff80000) to reg 0x1180000000

Debug : MMIO Enqueue

TestCase check_dec_status_and_ordering() line 1936 failed: op_status (8) != expected_status (0)

TestCase validate_ldpc_dec_op() line 2328 failed (err -1): Checking status and ordering for decoder failed

TestCase latency_test_ldpc_dec() line 4645 failed (err -1): Validation failed!

602:rte_bbdev_stop() Stopped device 0

Please find below the BBdev vector file created for the same

 

op_type =

RTE_BBDEV_OP_LDPC_DEC

 

input0=

0xff01ff01,0x0101ff01,0x0101ff01,0x01010101,0x0101ff01,0xff010101,0x01010101,0x01010101,0xff01ff01,0x0101ff01,0xff010101,0xffffff01,0xff0101ff,0x0101ff01,0xffff0101,0xff0101ff

z_c=

q_m=

n_filler=

n_cb=

e=

iter_max =

20

 

expected_iter_count =

20

 

op_flags =

RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_ITERATION_STOP_ENABLE

 

expected_status =

OK         

 

I would like to understand what incorrect configuration am I using?

 

Any insights or guidance to help resolve this issue would be highly appreciated. If you need any more details, please feel free to ask.

 

Thank you for your time and assistance!
