Hi,

I bought a intel x520 10GE Card,  I connect X520 to my FPGA 10GE port, with a DAC cable.

 

I use CentOS 7.6, and run command :  " modprobe ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1 "

 

but 10ge never show up. Checking demsg, it report:

"

[175074.724261] ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver - version 5.1.0-k-rh7.7
[175074.724263] ixgbe: Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Intel Corporation.
[175074.751559] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0: failed to load because an unsupported SFP+ or QSFP module type was detected.
[175074.751561] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0: Reload the driver after installing a supported module.

"

HOW can I overcome this  ?  Pls help . thanks al lot

Hi Jet60200,

Thank you for posting in our Intel® Ethernet Communities Page.

We are deeply sorry for the time it took for us to post our reply on this thread.

We need to get a little more context so we can provide an answer to your concern. Please answer the following questions:

1. May we know the brand and model of the DAC cable that you used?

2. Have you already tried connecting other network cards to your FPGA before? Were they able to connect on this kind of setup?

3. May we know to what system is the X520 connected to?

4. May we know the purpose of why you want to connect these two cards?


We look forward to hearing from you. If we do not get your reply, we will follow up after 3 business days.



Best Regards,
