I'm trying to get the MLNX_DPDK 2.2_2.7 driver working for my Connect-X4 card, with MLNX_OFED 3.3-1.0.0.0.
The manual states that I should change the link type of the ports by doing: (http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/MLNX_DPDK_Quick_Start_Guide_v2.2_2.7.pdf)
mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt4115_pciconf0 set LINK_TYPE_P1=2
However, when I do that mlxconfig tells me my device does not support it:
$ mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt4115_pciconf0 set LINK_TYPE_P1=2 Device #1: ---------- Device type: ConnectX4 PCI device: /dev/mst/mt4115_pciconf0 Configurations: Current New -E- Device doesn't support LINK_TYPE_P1 configuration.
Output of some informational commands:
