Multicore PE test fail

[quic-pansing]

We are encountering issues during PE testing. When testing with a single core, most tests pass. However, when testing with multi-core enabled, most PE tests fail. Is it recommended to enable only a single core? attaching result

Hello Pankaj,

When multi-core is enabled, the same payload runs on all cores. The test status is marked as PASS if it succeeds on all cores; otherwise, it is marked as FAIL. Most PE tests are expected to run with multi-core enabled.

If possible, could you please share the logs for further debugging? Additionally, could you confirm whether you are using a prebuilt image to run these tests or building it yourself, and specify if it is an ACPI or Device Tree platform?

I am using prebuilt image @rajatgoyal47

Hello Pankaj,

As per the logs, PE Index 1 seems to be always on even before ACS is running, due to this the payload is not running on PE Index 1 and the test is failing on PE Index 1.
Can you please check if this is expected that both Primary PE and PE Index 1 is switched on?

yes @rajatgoyal47 both PE is ON.

If more than one core is already enabled, then this test case will not be valid. It is expected to fail since the same payload should be executed together.

Hi,

Is there a particular reason why multiple PEs (PE index 0 and 1) are ON in this case?
Additionally, would it be possible to switch off the other PE and run the ACS? This will ensure that all the tests can be executed.

We have our requirement to enable multicore system. I mention that with single core mostly test are pass, so asking is ACS is only design to run in single core enable system?

Hi,

Currently, the ACS enables secondary cores when tests need to be executed on multiple cores.
However, handling scenarios where a secondary core is already enabled will require further investigation from our side. We will update you on this.
