Subject: [dpdk-dev] Question about unsupported transceivers
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:22:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <D2429E75.27F2%alex@alexforster.com> (raw)
Hi everybody, apologies for coming to this list with a tech support question.
I'm completely stumped about using non-Intel transceivers with DPDK. testpmd is bailing here: PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): Unsupported SFP+ Module / PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): Hardware Initialization Failure: -19
My box is an x64 server running Debian 8 (Jessie) with two X520-Q1 cards using Finisar QSFP transceivers. Here are the things that I've tried so far, unsuccessfully-
* Added CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SFP=y to config/defconfig_x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc and rebuilt/reinstalled/rebooted
* Tried various incantations of modprobe/insmod with allow_unsupported_sfp=1 appended
* Added options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/dpdk.conf and rebuilt the initrd
Can anybody lead me in the right direction here? It seems like a lot of the information floating around about this issue may be out of date.
