ODU-L with SmartNIC integration

Question

Hi Team,
We are trying to implement ODU-Low by integrating SmartNIC i.e FPGA PAC N3000. We found that dpdkBasebandFecMode = 1 for LDPC Encoder/Decoder in FPGA is not supported in the Bronze Release for the Open Source Community. 
1.Any future release is planned to support FPGA-based FEC ?
2. And we see Bronze release supports LLS C1 and C3 configuration only for Timing and Synchronization. Is there any further release which supports LLS C2 as well?

Can anyone suggest please.

Please contact your local Intel FAE so that they can understand the situation and your use case. If you do not know who your local Intel FAE is, please send me a personal message (PM) with details of your location and contact information. Thanks.

Hi
The document says that current release (Bronze) supports SW FEC only.

Build Prerequisite — o-du-phy master documentation (o-ran-sc.org)

And yes we were checking it - AN 907: Enabling 5G Wireless Acceleration in FlexRAN: for the Intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000
We found that we need to contact Intel for userimage.
We would like to know that how to get the userimage?
