NVIDIA FreeBSD for ConnectX-4 and above Adapter Cards

Release Notes Revision History


Rev 3.5.2

Feature/Category

Description

SR-IOV over ESXi

Added support for SR-IOV Guest over ESXi.

Note: Certain earlier versions of VMware prevented proper function of MS/MSI-X emulation on FreeBSD Guests. Since these versions are not accurately accounted for, MSI is blacklisted by default, preventing mlx5(4) driver from loading properly.
If MS/MSI-X emulation does not function properly on your current hypervisor, you may set the loader tunables hw.pci.enable_msi and hw.pci.enable_msix to 1, and hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist to 0.

Forward Error Correction (FEC) Configuration

Added support for FEC configuration via the FreeBSD driver.

IRQ Labeling

IRQ IDs are now labeled according to their Mellanox device functionality.

Priority Flow Control (PFC) Hardware Buffer Configuration

[Beta] Added support for configuring HW buffers for priority flow control (PFC).

Port Module Events

Added counters for various port module events.

ConnectX-6 Firmware Dump

Expanded firmware dump support for ConnectX-6 adapter cards.
