Features and FPGA images
In the Link™ Capture Software 11.7 release the NT40E3-4-PTP SmartNIC contains two different FPGA images, a capture image (default) and a capture/replay image. Not all features are included in both images. This table shows the features that are only included in one of the images.
| Feature | Capture Image | Capture/Replay Image |
|---|---|---|
| Timed host-based transmission | - | X |
| Local retransmission | - | X |
| Limited low-rate transmission | X | - |
| Deduplication | X | - |
| Start-of-frame time stamps | X | - |
| VN-Tag classification | X | - |
Apart from these differencies the rest of the features are the same in both images.
See DN-0487 for an explanation of how to switch between the two images.
