Version 2.0.5 was built as this was the version that was running on the ubuntu machine.

wget https://iperf.fr/download/iperf_2.0.5/iperf-2.0.5-source.tar.gz
tar xzf iperf-2.0.5-source.tar.gz
cd iperf-2.0.5/
./configure --host=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi

cp ARM/usr/local/bin/iperf <sdcard>

Test¶

• Started iperf 2.0.5 on server
  

  $ iperf -s
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  Server listening on TCP port 5001
  TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  

• Run iperf on l138
  

  root@mityomapl138:~# /media/mmcblk0p1/iperf -c 10.0.0.114
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  Client connecting to 10.0.0.114, TCP port 5001
  TCP window size: 20.0 KByte (default)
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  [  3] local 10.0.101.152 port 43774 connected with 10.0.0.114 port 5001
  [ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
  [  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  63.2 MBytes  53.0 Mbits/sec
  

Results show a 53Mbits/sec throughput.
