The compiled FPGA images are included in the following directory of the Link-Security™ Software package.

<package_root_directory>/images/

where package_root_directory is the directory to the unpacked Link-Security™ Software package.

To program the DPU with one of these FPGA images, see Updating the FPGA.

Blacklisting the virtio_blk module

The virtio_blk module must not be loaded before the DPU is configured to run correctly. The following command prevents the OS from loading virtio_blk on boot.

host# echo "blacklist virtio-blk" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-virtioblk-smartnic.conf

If it is not blacklisted, the server may fail to boot before the DPU is properly configured to run all PVFs. This configuration is persistent across system restarts.
