Phi 7240P on Centos: no MIC boards present

[Jesus_C_]

Hi,

I installed MPSS 3.8.2 on a CentOS 7.3 system with kernel 3.10.0-514.16.1

I built the kernel module package for this kernel version. The mic module loads, but it reports "no MIC boards present"

I also tried booting with the default kernel, 3.10.0-514 (and the module from the MPSS rpm package). Again, the module loads but reports "no MIC boards present"

In lspci I can see the Xeon Phi card, and it seems to have memory assigned. On the other hand, miccheck fails on first test:

Executing default tests for host
  Test 0: Check number of devices the OS sees in the system ... fail
    no Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessors devices detected

Status: FAIL

I have attached a tgz with the output of lspci, dmesg, etc

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

[JJK]

can you repost the tgz file? I can't find it; and do you really have a Phi 7240P as a PCI Express card? they're rare, I believe

I agree they are rare, but I believe it is a 7240P model.

Please find the .tgz file attached.

Thanks!

check out https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-coprocessor-x200-quick-start-guide which mentions that you need to install MPSS 4.x for the x200 coprocessor series.

Greetings JJK,

Thanks a lot. I will try with MPSS 4.4.0. I was following directly the MPSS user guide and asumed that the latest version was 3.8.

Best wishes,
