 Are you sure? If ``sst.nof_packets_received`` / ``xst.nof_packets_received`` is actually increasing, the packets are arriving, but are not parsable by the SST/XST device. If so, see the previous question.
 
-Many settings need to be correct for the statistics emitted by the SDP FPGAs to reach our devices correctly. Here is a brief overview:
