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 It seems like a lot of the information floating around about this issue may be out of date. Alex Forster
