Re: [dpdk-users] [dpdk-dev] Intel FW 8.15 with DPDK 20.11 & 21.02

["Korolevskiy, Igor" <Igor.Korolevskiy@dell.com>]

Beilei, hello. 

Yes, we saw this table, thank you. My question was if we are using 8.15 FW with DPDK 20.11 - how are you going to work with Dell / MTS / Nokia  - you will say that version is not supported, or you will help us to troubleshoot problem ( if any ) 

I don’t think 8.00 is strictly the version we can use, or is it minimum recommended version?

Hi Igor,

According to the Recommended Matching List in doc/guides/nics/i40e.rst, we should use FW 8.00 with DPDK 20.11 & 21.02.

   +--------------+-----------------------+------------------+
   | DPDK version | Kernel driver version | Firmware version |
   +==============+=======================+==================+
   |    21.02     |         2.14.13       |       8.00       |
   +--------------+-----------------------+------------------+
   |    20.11     |         2.14.13       |       8.00       |
   +--------------+-----------------------+------------------+

BR,
Beilei
