[meta-intel] Xeon D1500 10G Ethernet Port

[Tan, Raymond]

Hi Eddy,

I’m checking with the folks here that worked on the 10GbE, and yet to get a response.
Will reply once I have more information.

sorry that the board I used is
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-8C-TLN4F_.cfm
with two 10G SFP+ Finisar FTLX8574D3BCL.

Thanks Raymond,

I did add the ixgbe and build/boot yocto on my Xeon D1500 board
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-8C_-LN2F.cfm
the SFP+ 10GbE up,
but I tried to test the 2 10GbE throughput with netcat and dd on 2 Xeon D1500 board connected
got following throughtput
1.single connection, 600MB/s, (6Gbps)
2.dual port connected with dual line traffice , got 470MB/s each (9.4Gbps 2 ports total)
3.after repeat 3 times test, the CPU loading got higher than 40%, CPU temputure higher than 72C (4 fans full speed)
   and the throughput degrade to 420MB/s each

what's the MAX. throughput can I expect to get with 2 10Gbps SFP+ port connected and networking data transferred  simultaneously?

Hi Eddy,

Sorry, missed the email. While I’m not working on Camelback Mountain, but on a separate platform which utilizes IXGBE (10GbE) interface as well.
A quick check on YoctoProject, have you tried the Krogoth release? https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/bsps/krogoth21/camelback-mountain-broadwell-de

On the other note, we have added the ixgbe recipe in meta-intel/common/recipes-kernel/intel-ethernet, that uses the IXGBE release tar ball from the official release site on sf.net<http://sf.net>, currently is in master branch.  This shall provide IXGBE on the latest meta-intel.

from Yocto D-1500 BSP Release Note said:
Known Issues:
• The 10Gbe interface is not yet enabled but will be made available through the next Yocto Project release, trending end of Q2 2016.
has this been fixed?
https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/bsps/jethro20/camelback-mountain-broadwell-de
will this need extra configuration/setup other than GbE driver enabled ?

Regards
Eddy Lai
