| Supported Boards |
| **************** |
| |
| zperf is board-agnostic. However, to run the zperf sample application, |
| the target platform must provide a network interface supported by Zephyr. |
| |
| This sample application has been tested on the following platforms: |
| |
| - Freedom Board (FRDM K64F) |
| - QEMU x86 |
| - Arm FVP BaseR AEMv8-R |
| - ARM BASE RevC AEMv8A Fixed Virtual Platforms |
| |
| Requirements |
| ************ |
| |
| - iPerf 2.0.5 installed on the host machine |
| - Supported board |
| |
| Depending on the network technology chosen, extra steps may be required |
| to setup the network environment. |
| |
| Usage |
| ***** |
| |
| See :ref:`zperf library documentation <zperf>` for more information about |
| the library usage. |
