xcnt=0xtransfer_count

Controls the packet size to be transferred, for example, 0x1000. Default value is 0x10000. 

icnt=iteration_count

Controls the number of times the loopback test will run, for example, 100. Default value is 10. 

lbfpattern=0xpattern

Lists the data pattern to loop, for example, 0x7E7E7E7E. Default value is 0x7E7E7E7E.
