Phi Boot Hangs in Windows 7 Pro

[Eric_B_1]

I have been working to get a 3000 series running under windows pro x64 and i think that i am very close but still have an issue that i cant get past. I was able to flash the card with mpss 3.1.2 installed. I was able to get this card running under redhat 6.5 but not windows

Micinfo is reporting correctly:

I have the rest of the log file if that helps.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Listed is windows enterprise will this work under pro?

Hi Eric,

1. The output from micinfo is not complete, I don't see information about Cores, Thermal, and GDDR. Would you like to list  the output again please?

2. I believe MPSS should work with Windows 7 Pro (64-bit). Do you say your OS is Windows 7 Pro? How micinfo detects it as Windows 7 Enterprise?

3. Did you try to restart your system to see what happens? Also, did you install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher?

Thank you.

[Eric_B_1]

Not sure thats what it says but im running Pro.

Restarted and re-installed several times does not help. This machine has .net 4.5 on it.

Hi Eric,

The output from micinfo looks fine. Do you follow the instructions in section 2.2.2 "Install the Driver" the readme-windows file? And in what step do you fail (what the error message says)?

[Eric_B_1]

Installing from 2.2.2 went fine no error.

When the machine reboot the phi is hanging in the boot process and eventually times out and fails. micctrl -s reports booting.ls

mic0: booting (mode: linux image: C:\Program Files\Intel\MPSS\filesystem\bzImage-knightscorner.bin)

So i have run micctrl -rw

then the card is ready

then i run micctrl --start 

runs for awhile and fails. The log file after the fail is posted in the original post. The last message that i get is about IPv6

after failure micctrl -l mic0 is where i got the log file.

I haven't seen this problem with Windows Server 2008/2012 but let me try with Windows 7 Pro. I will get back to you soon. Thanks.

Hi Eric,

I installed a fresh Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x64) and then MPSS 3.1.3 on it. I don't see any problem.

First, I followed the installation procedure in Section 2.2.2 in readme-windows document. After the system is restarted, one of the coprocessor is booting forever. Then, I have to reset the coprocessors:

% micctrl -r

% micctrl -w

and repeat the installation procedure again. After the system is restarted again, all the coprocessors are back online successfully. I can monitor the coprocessors with the utility micsmc.

I have .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the system. Both coprocessors are B0 stepping. 

[Eric_B_1]

Ok on the downloads page i only see 3.1.2 for windows is this a typo or how do i get to 3.1.3 

thanks in advance?

[Loc_N_Intel]

Sorry for the typo, I meant MPSS 3.1.2 .

[Eric_B_1]

No change: Ill try a fresh windows install and see how it goes. Only change is that the phi comes up ready instead of booting on restart.

Log file still ends at no ipv6 routers.

[Eric_B_1]

So i had to take the computer down to a clean install and driver update for some reason but it is now up and running.

NOTE: In 2.2.1 the command bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions returns -> element not found

i then entered the: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF -> sucessfull

So i can confirm that this motherboard and windows 7 and rethat work with the phi

In addition i am using an Intel I7 3930K Sandy Bridge

I will start reinstalling Visual Studio and .net and post back if there are any issues
