Anyone get QAT_engine and FreeBSD to function?

JM28 — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 04:38:54 GMT

I know QAT is very Linux centric, but Intel has put qat support into FreeBSD 14.x and 15.x. Great!

But the build instructions for qat_engine to get OpenSSL working are old and don't work.

Has anyone had luck getting qat to work with FreeBSD on any level?

I'm using the newer qat2 hardware on FBSD 15. Thank you!

Hi JM28,

Thanks for reaching out to Intel Communities.

Please allow me a couple of days to check on what documentation we may have regarding FreeBSD and QAT and I will get back to you.

Hi JM28,

I have received confirmation that currently, the QAT engine does not provide support for QAT_SW acceleration on FreeBSD. However, we do offer support for QAT_HW acceleration on the FreeBSD14 driver through the use of the qatlib in-tree driver for FreeBSD.

For further details, please consult the documentation available at: https://github.com/intel/qatlib-freebsd?tab=readme-ov-file

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Regards,
