• PCIe Gen 4×16
• Disk: Free Space upto 50GB
• Memory: 128GB
• BIOS: Enable IOMMU, Huge pages, PCI Reallocation, Disable PCI-ASM.
• Supported OS: Ubuntu 22.04, RedHat 8
• Supported Libraries & Applications: OPAE SDK, HE-Exerciser, LinuxPTP, DPDK

• The host interacts with the FPGA using the Linux DFL and OPAE libraries https://ofs.github.io/ofs-2024.2-1/sw/fpga_api/prog_guide/FPGA-lib-1.png
• HE applications communicate with the HSSI, Loopback, Traffic Generator, and Memory modules within the AFU region of the FPGA.
• The application also extends its functionality to transmit workloads over QSFP ports at various speeds.

DPDK-IFPGA

• The DPDK based IFPGA libraries help to interact with Management modules.
• The IFPGA Rawdev Driver utilizes Intel FPGA Software Stack OPAE (Open Programmable Acceleration Engine) for FPGA management.
• Management Modules include FPGA status check, FPGA reset or reboot, PR reset, Read/Write PCI configuration space, bind or unbind FPGA with kernel drivers.

Linux PTP

• The kernel exposes ToD IP as a PTP Hardware Clock to the Linux PTP stack, allowing the system clock to synchronize with the ToD information
• The phc2sys utility to access ToD information and synchronize the system clock.
