FPGA PAC N3000, configed in 8x10G mode, attached to the Xeron serverA with pcie x16 。we got 40GbE servrB/ 10GbE serverC , QSFP+40G SR-L optical module and 12core mo3 fiber。test case:1) serverA-->one port QSFP and fiber--> serverB: leds out 2)serverA(B)-->one port to another port-->serverA(B);leds on(a).should we puchase E40GQSFPSR to displace QSFP+40G SR-L? (b)give some advices.by the way,I didn't enable Vx-Tx Vx-d(not found in the bios),may it help? thanks a lot

Hi @fzhan51 First of all, what is the objective of your test? A simple functionality test? If yes, you can refer to:Test by DPDKhttps://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/xgz1560360700260.html#hnb1561577285390Test by fpgadiag:https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/xgz1560360700260.html#hll1561577008230

thank you. we want a simple test fot the connection between n3000 qsfp port and the port of other 40GbE networkcard , a ping test etc. beside, today,I got empty when entered lspci | grep 0d58 or lspci | grep 0cf8 ,what may cause that?

Is the card alive? Did you connect the AUX cable? Can this recover by reset? Is it overheated? any status logs e.g. fpgainfo fme? fpgainfo bmc? etc...i can help more if there is more info.

the cable is 12core mo3 fiber; we are purchasing X4DACBL3 to try; reset not fix;I just found that the Image may be upgraded to Production Version for trying the connection, how can I revert it?we bought a E40GQSFPSR optic mode to test with 12core mo3 fiber and other optic mode,seems no help.for now,the 40G serverB is not available, i connect the netport QSFPa(QSFP+40G SR-L) to netportQSFPb(QSFP+40G SR-L) with 12core mo3 fiber-----------------------------------------------[fpga@localhost ~]$sudo fpgainfo fmeBoard Management Controller, MAX10 NIOS FW version D.2.0.19Board Management Controller, MAX10 Build version D.2.0.6//****** FME ******//Object Id : 0xF500000PCIe s:b:d.f : 0000:07:00.0Device Id : 0x0b30Numa Node : 0Ports Num : 01Bitstream Id : 0x23000010010309Bitstream Version : 0.2.3Pr Interface Id : 901dd697-ca79-4b05-b843-8138cefa2846Boot Page : user----------------------------------------------[fpga@localhost ~]$ sudo fpgainfo phy[sudo] password for fpga: Board Management Controller, MAX10 NIOS FW version D.2.0.19Board Management Controller, MAX10 Build version D.2.0.6//****** PHY ******//Object Id : 0xF500000PCIe s:b:d.f : 0000:07:00.0Device Id : 0x0b30Numa Node : 0Ports Num : 01Bitstream Id : 0x23000010010309Bitstream Version : 0.2.3Pr Interface Id : 901dd697-ca79-4b05-b843-8138cefa2846//****** PHY GROUP 0 ******//Direction : Line sideSpeed : 10 GbpsNumber of PHYs : 8//****** PHY GROUP 1 ******//Direction : Host sideSpeed : 10 GbpsNumber of PHYs : 8//****** Intel C827 Retimer ******//Port0 10G : UpPort1 10G : UpPort2 10G : UpPort3 10G : UpPort4 10G : UpPort5 10G : UpPort6 10G : UpPort7 10G : UpRetimer A Version : 101c.1064Retimer B Version : 101c.1064--------------------------------------------[fpga@localhost ~]$ sudo fpgainfo bmcBoard Management Controller, MAX10 NIOS FW version D.2.0.19Board Management Controller, MAX10 Build version D.2.0.6//****** BMC SENSORS ******//Object Id : 0xF500000PCIe s:b:d.f : 0000:07:00.0Device Id : 0x0b30Numa Node : 0Ports Num : 01Bitstream Id : 0x23000010010309Bitstream Version : 0.2.3Pr Interface Id : 901dd697-ca79-4b05-b843-8138cefa2846( 1) Board Power : 69.56 Watts( 2) 12V Backplane Current : 3.20 Amps( 3) 12V Backplane Voltage : 12.15 Volts( 4) 1.2V Voltage : 1.18 Volts( 6) 1.8V Voltage : 1.80 Volts( 8) 3.3V Voltage : 3.25 Volts(10) FPGA Core Voltage : 0.90 Volts(11) FPGA Core Current : 15.07 Amps(12) FPGA Die Temperature : 69.00 Celsius(13) Board Temperature : 43.50 Celsius(14) QSFP0 Supply Voltage : 3.27 Volts(15) QSFP0 Temperature : 51.00 Celsius(24) 12V AUX Current : 2.53 Amps(25) 12V AUX Voltage : 12.11 Volts(37) QSFP1 Supply Voltage : 3.27 Volts(38) QSFP1 Temperature : 54.00 Celsius(44) PKVL0 Core Temperature : 68.00 Celsius(45) PKVL0 SerDes Temperature : 68.50 Celsius(46) PKVL1 Core Temperature : 69.00 Celsius(47) PKVL1 SerDes Temperature : 69.50 Celsius---------------------------------------------------------------------------how to test the connection in this case ,and how to check tx and rx ?

Dear JwChin I would try it.note that, Retimer A/B Version are zero after "rsu bmcimg <BDF>", and port0-7 all Down now even connect the fiber. if it become Porduct version,it can't revert back to Alpha Version,isn't it ? if no, it means that I have to sign the image first

Dear JwChin I would try it . note that Retimer A/B Version become 0000.0000, port0-port7 always Down after "rsu bmcimg <BDF>". if it become product version,cant it revet to Alpha version ? last time i try the $ sudo super-rsu /usr/share/opae/n3000/one-time-update/<25G or 10G>/\
rollback-*.json --with-rsu in section "B.1.2. Root Entry Hash Not Programmed",if failed. that means I do have to prepare signed image?

Hi @fzhan51 Unfortunately, no you cannot revert from Production to Alpha.

Dear JwChin,I switch the kernel to 4.19.8; and tried the section "B.1.2.",attached the log.
I remember that I didn't get any signed image,and the last operation i follow to do is the section "B.1.2."
seemed that it went through,then the version become Product version.
I just read the ug-pac-security-n3000.pdf,it says "This operation is permanent and irreversible."on page 21.Does that mean root entry hash bitstream is programmed,I even don't know any keys(root key/csks),then the card is dead for me? could you help me please.

Hi @fzhan51 If you did not create + program any root hash into the device, then it should be fine. You can still program unsigned images.

Hi @fzhan51 I see you have created another thread https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P00004dmzbn/pac-n3000-8x10g-xl710-update-failed?language=en_US&t=1586513388811 on the same issue.
But i probably continue to help from here, and close the duplicated.
Could you run lspci -s BDF_OfTheEthernetCtrller -x
Expected to see something like:
00: 86 80 f8 0c xx xx xx
I see that your version is up-to-date, and if the lspci command as above is ok...then probably you can try to move on

You should be getting the bistream id as below. It shows that something did not install correctly.
You mentioned that you followed the Beta (by mistake)...can you still run the instrucction on upgrading from Alpha?

  Bitstream Id differs when fpgasupdate with unsigned.bin of different version,
  the Bitstream Id of pac_n3000_rtl_1.3.15.tar.gz unpacked from n3000_ias_1_1_pv_patch01.tar.gz
  is 0x21064001020134 while which form pac_n3000_rtl_1.3.6 is 0x23000010010309(in this case,the same result).
  run the instrucction on upgrading from Alpha now failed,I don't know how to do it again.
  here is the cmd goes:

Hi @fzhan51 I just checked your log, you should be running "lspci -s 06:00.0 -x"
That should point to the XL710, and if the ID shows 0CF8, then thats should be fine.

Hi @fzhan51
Could you run just this line: fpgaflash bmc_img max10_system_revd_dual_v111.2.13_temporary_default_fpga_die_cfm0_auto.rpd 0000:07:00.0
I wonder if it will complain your intelhex is not installed.
If yes, install install hex again and run this line again.
