- DPU mode setup:
$ mst start
$ mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/<device> s INTERNAL_CPU_MODEL=1 \
INTERNAL_CPU_PAGE_SUPPLIER=0 \
INTERNAL_CPU_ESWITCH_MANAGER=0 \
INTERNAL_CPU_IB_VPORT0=0 \
INTERNAL_CPU_OFFLOAD_ENGINE=0
- Enabling Scalable Functions:
$ mlxconfig -d 0000:03:00.0 s PF_BAR2_ENABLE=0 PER_PF_NUM_SF=1 PF_TOTAL_SF=236 PF_SF_BAR_SIZE=10
$ mlxconfig -d 0000:03:00.1 s PF_BAR2_ENABLE=0 PER_PF_NUM_SF=1 PF_TOTAL_SF=236 PF_SF_BAR_SIZE=10
- Change NIC e-switch from legacy mode to switchdev mode In legacy mode representators don't show up
# Check current mode
sudo devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0
# Change mode
sudo ip link set p0 down
sudo devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:03:00.0 mode switchdev
- Changing Link Layer
sudo mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt41692_pciconf0 set LINK_TYPE_P1=2 LINK_TYPE_P2=2
- System reboot: After changing config do a system reboot on BF(run following command from BF)
mlxfwreset -d 03:00.0 -y -l 3 --sync 1 r
