OFS : Data Path of QSFP from HE_HSSI
Hi Team, I am using N6001 with Intel OFS (OFS PCIe Attach) . I wanted to test data transfer from Host1 to Host2 as below. Host1 -> N6001(Port0) -> OtherNIC(Port0) -> Host2. Is there any sample application available in OPAE/OFS which performs this transaction? Can you please suggest. In addition to above query, I wants to know how HE-HSSI sends data to QSFP?. The hssi application shows "No eth interface, so not honoring --eth-loopback". ( https://ofs.github.io/ofs-2024.1-1/hw/n6001/user_guides/ug_qs_ofs_n6001/ug_qs_ofs_n6001/ Section 7. Send traffic through the 10G AFU). Does this mean the HE_HSSI will not communicate with E-Tile or QSFPs (FIM) ? Do I need to enable any parameters to pass over QSFPs? Thankyou.
Difference between Open Access OFS and the OFS under otcshare
Hey, Intel provides 2 OFS stacks, Open Access Open FPGA Stack (OFS) OTCshare Open FPGA Stack (OFS) I wanted to know if there is any difference between the two as they offer the same features in terms of throughput. The Open source OFS seems to support more boards than otcshare. Thank you.N6000-PL is not showing up in 'lspci'
Hey, I have with me the N6000-PL card which was provided by Intel. And am trying to test the card as is by connecting to a Dell PowerEdge R520 Server. This server is populated by a single CPU hence the card is connected to an x16 slot but the bandwidth available is x8, the server also doesn't support PCIe Bifurcation. In the Command prompt upon using lspci the card doesn't show up anywhere. And The power LED is green but the rest two LEDs "STS" and "ALM" are Red. 1) Is this common until I flash the MAX10 and Agilex FPGA with the BMC and OFS respectively? 2) Does this mean that the Board already has images preinstalled or is it a clean slate? Thank you, Best Regards.
