Thanks Mike for the prompt reply. What I don't understand is, if some previous request fails, why doesn't the tester report error on that request instead of this one?

Hello Mike,
I'm getting the same deadlock error again. For the one posted in last email, I somehow solved it by changing one of my latencies from 0 to 1. However, I don't know why that helped. Now when I increase the tester length, I got similar deadlock again. The sequencer starts a request and next thing I know is this request is a deadlock. Could you please be a bit more specific on "not enough resource to handle it"? And, how do I tell if there are requests before that which have failed? I'm looking at the protocol debug trace by checking the result of 'x86-linux/generated/MSI_MOSI_CMP_directory/bin/tester.exec -p 4 -a 1 -l 900 -s 1' . Is this what you meant by "look at the PROTOCOL_DEBUG_TRACE"?

Yes, you'll need to dig through the trace and see what is going on. Some other previous request or writeback is likely failing. "-s 1" enables the trace. Make sure RUBY_DEBUG=true in Makefile.

Please use gems-users@xxxxxxxxxxx so that everyone can benefit from the discussion
