Need help with intel QAT / CPA

[JPere29]

Hello,

I have received this week a motherboard with the Atom C2758 processor. The board model is the http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Atom/X10/A1SRi-2758F.cfm A1SRi-2758F from Supermicro.

I am very interested in the QuickAssist capabilities from this micro, so my next goal is to compile and to install the Linux Kernel Crypto Framework Driver.

The problem that I have is that I am unable to locate the Intel QuickAssist Technology Software Library (not sure if this is the same as the intel CPA API).

Could anyone please indicate me where can I find these software components?

Do I need to sign as a "privileged" user to gain access to these documents?

Thanks in advance,

José Antonio Pérez

Steve1, I checked with one of specialists here's some additional information:

"The current QAT release is 1.4. With the latest QAT1.5 package release (see Doc# 525874 --[Rangeley] SoC (embedded) Software (QAT) - Software Release (QAT1.5.L.1.45.0-150)) available for customer download in the next 2 weeks, this QAT package is validated with Fedora 20 with kernel 3.10 or 3.11 with the exception that there is no access the debug files /proc/icp*/. This functionality has not been added yet. Intel will continue to release new QAT packages in the future which may validate with latest Fedora release at that time. You can use the latest release, or any release you wish, and the expectation is that it may work with different versions. If you find any issue, please provide as much detail as possible to Intel, we will do our best to look into it and possible make any update or fix the issue."

It has been 4 weeks and still no update. QAT1.5.L.1.4.0_150.tar.gz is the latest version. It still does not build under a 3.10 kernel tree.

Hi, Steve! You should be able to access document # 526848 using your Privileged EDC account.

Intel® Communications Chipset 8900 to 8920 Series Software - Intel® QuickAssist Technology Driver for Linux* (QAT1.5.L.1.5.0-200).

Log into the EDC (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/embedded-design-center.html Intel® Embedded Design Center) and type "526848" in the search box. The document will surface and you can then access it.

Have a nice day! Lynn

The correct file is indeed downloading now, however the description on the EDC site still indicates version:

v.QAT1.5.L.1.4.0-150, Dec. 2013
