Changes and New Features

DOCA Framework New Features and Updates

Enabled hostless operation for DOCA PCC reference applications, allowing the DPA to independently manage congestion control logic in isolated or high-performance AI environments.
Introduced a "printk"-style logging mechanism for hostless DPA that captures FATAL error messages in the debug buffer, which can be viewed directly via the existing hostless trace tool.
Enabled host-side log tracing for hostless DOCA PCC to improve debuggability, providing a dedicated tool to access and monitor DPA application logs directly from the host.
Bug fixes

NVIDIA® BlueField®-3 networking platforms must use DOCA-Host as the host driver. MLNX_OFED does not support BlueField-3 devices.

HPC-X Installation – The doca-ofed installation profile provides MLNX_OFED-equivalent drivers and tools and does not include NVIDIA HPC-X. To use MPI or other HPC-X functionality, install HPC-X separately. The supported HPC-X version for this release is 2.25.1. For version alignment across DOCA 3.2 LTS updates, refer to the Long-Term Support (LTS) Releases table.
