Why I did it

After upgrade to brcmsai 8.1, the sdk running environment (container) recommended with mininum memory size as below

  • TH4/TD4(ltsw) uses 512MB
  • TH3 used 300MB
  • Helix4/TD2/TD3/TH/TH 256 MB

Base on this requirement, adjust the default syncd share memory size and set the memory size for special ACISs in platform_env.conf file for different types of Broadcom ASICs.

How I did it

Add the platform_env.conf file if none of it for broadcom platform (base on platform_asic file)
Add the 'SYNCD_SHM_SIZE' and set the value

  • for ltsw(TD4/TH4) devices set to 512M at least (update the platform_env.conf)
  • for Td2/TH2/TH devices set to 256M
  • for TH3 set to 300M

How to verify it

verify the image with code fix
Check with UT
Check on lab devices

  • On a problematic device which cannot start successfully
    Run with the command
$ cat /proc/linux-kernel-bde
