The compiled FPGA images are included in the Napatech Link-Storage™ Software package.
FPGA image types and numbers
This table
shows the FPGA image numbers for Link-Storage™ Software.
| Hardware | Port speed | FPGA image type | FPGA image number |
|---|---|---|---|
| F2070X | 2 × 100 Gbit/s | ASAF | 7102 |
The compiled FPGA images are included in the following directory of the Link-Storage™ Software package.
<package_root_directory>/images/where package_root_directory is the directory to the unpacked Link-Storage™ Software package.
To program the IPU with one of these FPGA images, see Updating the FPGA of Napatech IPUs.
Blacklisting virtio_blk
The virtio_blk module must not be loaded before the IPU 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.confIf it is not blacklisted, the server may fail to boot before the IPU is properly configured to run all PVFs. This configuration is persistent across system restarts.
Detecting the IPU
After the FPGA image is loaded on the IPU, run
the following command to detect the IPU.
