Jetpack: 5.0.2GA
Hardware: a04 module + our custom carrier board

RGMII seems to work fine just when i surf online, but the number of RX dropped continues to increase.
The following is the relevant information, how to locate the problem point, thank you!

  1. RX dropped continues to increase.

Which phy is in use?

4

The phy is RTL8211FI-CG/RTL8211FDI-CG.

Is your issue reproducible on Xavier NX devkit? It is using the same PHY.

6

Hi, currently, we did not develop on Xavier NX devkit.

8

Hi,

Could you reproduce this issue with Orin-Orin connection?
And also share the result of sudo ethtool -S eth0 and also tcpdump -i eth0 -w tcpdump.txt?

9

This issue dose not happen on Orin-Orin connection, there are no “RX dropped” on both Orin modules.
I retry Orin-PublicInternet connection to check differences.

Is this ethtool result dumped after you observe packet drop?

11

yes

I’m closing this topic due to there is no update from you for a period, assuming this issue was resolved.
If still need the support, please open a new topic. Thanks

Sorry for the late response, have you managed to get issue resolved or still need the support? Thanks
