Fixed In:
12.1.0, 11.5.4

Opened: Sep 14, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When tmm first starts, the system logs multiple messages containing the words "error:" and "best_error:" in the tmm log files when tmm.verbose is enabled, and hardware accelerators are present.

Impact

The system posts messages that could be mistaken for errors. For example: en: 1, clkf: 13, pll_MHz: 650, ddr_hertz: 650000000, error: 17000000, best_error: 667000000. These are not errors, and may be safely ignored.

Conditions

Must have an accelerator device, and enable tmm.verbose logging.

Workaround

Ignore the lines with format similar to the following: en: 1, clkf: 13, pll_MHz: 650, ddr_hertz: 650000000, error: 17000000, best_error: 667000000

Fix Information

The cosmetic messages containing 'err' and 'best err' are no longer posted on initial tmm startup when tmm.verbose logging on hardware accelerated devices.
