Re: [openib-general] mthca support for Arbel
Hal> Hi, Has mthca been tested with Arbel (PCI Express) ? Is this Hal> in compatibility mode or native mode or both ? I've tested mthca with Arbel in compatibility mode. I haven't had access to native mode firmware or up-to-date documentation, so I have not even started on native mode support. - Roland ___ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general

I have heard that it does not require any changes, but I just wanted to confim that. ___ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general

I have heard that it does not require any Robert> changes, but I just wanted to confim that. As Hal mentioned, there are two modes that the Mellanox PCIe HCA can run in: compatible and native mode. In compatible mode, the same driver as for the PCI-X HCA can be used. In native mode, new features are exposed (memory-free mode, verbs extensions, etc), but new software is required. - Roland ___ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
