IONIC Driver
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The ionic driver provides support for AMD Pensando server adapters.
|
|
It currently supports the below models:
|
|
|
|
- DSC-25 dual-port 25G Distributed Services Card `(pdf) <https://pensandoio.secure.force.com/DownloadFile?id=a0L4T000004IKurUAG>`__
|
|
- DSC-100 dual-port 100G Distributed Services Card `(pdf) <https://pensandoio.secure.force.com/DownloadFile?id=a0L4T000004IKuwUAG>`__
|
|
- DSC-200 dual-port 200G Distributed Services Card `(pdf) <https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/pensando-dsc-200-product-brief.pdf>`__
|
|
|
|
Please visit the AMD Pensando web site at https://www.amd.com/en/accelerators/pensando for more information.
|
|
|
|
Identifying the Adapter
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
To determine if one or more AMD Pensando DSC Ethernet devices are installed
|
|
on the host, check for the PCI devices:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
lspci -d 1dd8:
|
|
b5:00.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1dd8:1002
|
|
b6:00.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1dd8:1002
|
|
|
|
Firmware Support
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The ionic PMD requires firmware which supports 16 segment transmit SGLs.
|
|
This support was added prior to version 1.0. For help upgrading older versions,
|
|
please contact AMD Pensando support.
|
|
|
|
Runtime Configuration
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
- ``Queue in CMB support`` (default ``0``)
|
|
|
|
Queue memory can be allocated from the Controller Memory Buffer (CMB) using
|
|
the ``ionic_cmb`` ``devargs`` parameter.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-a 0000:b5:00.0,ionic_cmb=1
|
|
|
|
Building DPDK
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The ionic PMD supports UIO and VFIO. Please refer to the
|
|
:ref:`DPDK documentation that comes with the DPDK suite <linux_gsg>`
|
|
for instructions on how to build DPDK.
