Hello,

 

Actually, I am working with the jetson TX2 and with a Gige camera. I need to connect the camera to the jetson in dual Gige to increase the frame per second.

 

The camera´s manufacturer advice to use intel I350-t4V2 PCI. I need to be sur that the jetson support your product.

Here, the following informations :

 

~$uname -srm

Hello NLain1,

 

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities.

 

In regards to compatibility inquiry, only the manufacturer of the Jetson TX2 can confirm if the I350 is compatible/validated on their product. As the compatibility of the network card would be based on the board. 

 

We can only confirm that Ubuntu 18.04 is supported on I350 network card.

You may visit the link below for your reference.

Let us know if you have additional questions and clarifications on this matter.

 

We look forward to your response.

Hello,

 

Thank you a lot for your answer.

Actually, I already to Nvidia, and the driver is supported, and already installed :

 

jetson@jetson-desktop:~$ gunzip < /proc/config.gz | egrep 'CONFIG_IGB'

CONFIG_IGB=y

CONFIG_IGB_HWMON=y

CONFIG_IGBVF=y

 

Apparently, there are some hardware issues, because Intel card pull down the i2c lines and cause the system issue on our board.

Nvidia suggest me to mask out I2C pin. Can you please confirm the pin :

I2C_INTEL.png Furthermore, do you know if mask out those pins will be the result of other issues ?

 

Thank you a lot

Hello NLain1,

 

Thank you for the patience on this matter.

 

Please provide the additional information below for us to further check on your request.

 

1.) Kindly confirm if you are using PCIe Ethernet card and not a controller that's embedded on your board. You may also share the PBA and serial number of the adapter. Please refer to the link below on where to find the PBA number.Alternatively, you may also provide photos of the adapter focusing on the markings (white sticker) found on the physical card for us to double check on it. The PBA is consist of 6-digit number located at the last part of the serial number.

Hello,

 

Many thanks for your answer.

 

I am sorry about my lack of reactivity, but I've had to come back in my contry because of the virus, and I didn't have time to answer you.

 

In fact, there is any hardware issue between the jetson TX2 and your i350-t4. The driver was already installed, by default ! Nvidia thought that it could have some issues because of previous jetson model, and different kinds of PCI from intel.

 

I have an other issues.

Actually, I acquire image from a camera. I can use the camera in single Gige or Dual Gige. In single Gige, the camera is able to send an image to the jetson every 400ms. In dual Gige, every 200ms, that is why it is very interesting for my application (I am working on image processing, and I need to acquire image as fast as possible). I already connected the camera in single Gige, and it works well.

The camera is connected directly to the jetson. I don't use switch. Ethernet port of the jetson is connected to the camera directly.

To connect the camera in dual Gige, I need two ethernet ports on the jetson. That is I've bought your PCI.

 

To work in single Gige, to connect the camera I just need to enter the following command :

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 9000

 

To connect the camera in dual Gige, the camera's manufacturer give the following command :

ip link add mybond type bond

ip addr add dev mybond 192.168.3.1/24

ip link set mybond up

ip link set eth4 down

ip link set eth4 master mybond

ip link set eth3 down

ip link set eth3 master mybond

ip link set mybond mmtu 90000

 

The output of the first command is :

sudo ip link add mybond type bond

[sudo] password for jetson:

#RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

I tried to connect the camera with an ethernet port from the PCI, and it works well (in single Gige).

 

I have now 2 questions :

Does your intel i350-t4 supports network bonding ?

Do you know how configure kernel to enable bonding ? That is not specific to nvidia, because this is ubuntu distribution, and anybody is able to give me clear answer (#RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported)

 

Thank you a lot !
