Hi, Ferruh Please see the question below. In my opinion, etrack_id is just a name used to define the ID of one NIC. In kernel version ethtool, it will print this ID in the line of firmware verison. I know what is etrack_id mean, but I really don't know why this named etrack_id. Can you explain this question? -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Monjalon [mailto:thomas.monja...@6wind.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 3, 2017 4:40 PM To: Yang, Qiming <qiming.y...@intel.com> Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 1/4] ethdev: add firmware information get
Please reply below the question and on the mailing list. You'll have to explain why this name etrack_id. 2017-01-03 03:28, Yang, Qiming: > Hi, Thomas > etrack_id is not a terminology, it's decided by me. > Which is store the unique number of the firmware. > firmware-version: 5.04 0x800024ca > 800024ca is the etrack_id of this NIC. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Monjalon [mailto:thomas.monja...@6wind.com] > Sent: Monday, January 2, 2017 11:39 PM > To: Yang, Qiming <qiming.y...@intel.com> > Cc: dev@dpdk.org; Horton, Remy <remy.hor...@intel.com>; Yigit, Ferruh > <ferruh.yi...@intel.com> > Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 1/4] ethdev: add firmware information get > > 2016-12-27 20:30, Qiming Yang: > > /** > > + * Retrieve the firmware version of a device. > > + * > > + * @param port_id > > + * The port identifier of the device. > > + * @param fw_major > > + * A array pointer to store the major firmware version of a device. > > + * @param fw_minor > > + * A array pointer to store the minor firmware version of a device. > > + * @param fw_patch > > + * A array pointer to store the firmware patch number of a device. > > + * @param etrack_id > > + * A array pointer to store the nvm version of a device. > > + */ > > +void rte_eth_dev_fw_info_get(uint8_t port_id, uint32_t *fw_major, > > + uint32_t *fw_minor, uint32_t *fw_patch, uint32_t *etrack_id); > > I have a reserve about the naming etrack_id. > Please could you point to a document explaining this ID? > Is it known outside of Intel?
