Intel N6001 FIM not compiling due to script failing

Hey @khtan, I am done testing the N6000 card, and wanted to test the N6001 design in the N6000 card without enabling the E810 Controller. Hence I started building and compiling the N6001 design, but...

    Hi ,

    I'm sorry for the delay in replying, didn't notice the my reply got saved in draft and didn't sent out before our public holiday.

    Anyway, just copied back what I wrote

    Talked to one of the our technical experts on the flashing N6001 to N6000, he mentioned should be possible if not using E810 controller. Here's some differences between those 2.

    However, we have never tested this combination before on actual hardware, so it is just theoretical in nature it might be working

    I have a look into the logs and notice that you used

    1st log

    You shouldn't use the ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh , instead you should use the one under /syn/scripts/build_fim_top.sh -p n6001 work_n6001 instead. In certain version they renamed the build_top.sh to build_fim_top.sh to build the one in otcshare to avoid confusion because the release version uses build_top.sh

    The guide to build the fim is located here (https://github.com/otcshare/intel-ofs-docs/blob/main/n600x/dev_guides/fim_dev/ug_dev_fim_ofs_n600x_beta3.2.md#432-compiling-the-base-fim2x4x25g) .

    Could you try building this on your end? I've also setup my station here to build it , but it will take like 5-6 hours to build

    As for the ethernet part, are you referring to the guide over here on testing the ethernet?

    https://github.com/otcshare/intel-ofs-docs/blob/main/n600x/user_guides/ofs_getting_started/ug_qs_ofs_n600x_beta3.2.md#testing-ethernet-datapath-using-dpdk

    I also noticed you submitted an IPS case on the build issue on Agilex7 pcie attach compilation as well, but i will reply there, mainly to get the command you used to generate as release version have different build commands.

    Thanks

    Regards

Hi,

I've been discussing with my colleague on this case , and the conclusion is that DPDK is running directly on NIC controller via PCIe thus without the controller as in this case, DPDK is most likely not supported as this usage scenario is outside the scope of implementation.

Thanks

Hi @khtan

Thanks for your reply.
Can you please tell me what are the other tests you have performed for validating performance/NIC features without an Ethernet controller other than DPDK applications?

    Hi,

    So far verification/test validation are done based on the user guide in the above mentioned ug_qs_ofs_n600x_beta3.2.md with the ethernet controller.

    Is there any further question related to the original issue on the thread, otherwise I would like to close-pending the thread.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Kian
