Hello,

 

We have an Advantech SOM-5993 With an Ice Lake Xeon D-1746TER and are trying to utilize the 10G-BASE-KR links. We have them routed directly from the SOM BASE-KR to a Xilinx FPGA. Running lspci on the SOM reports four Intel Devices that look like they may be the 10GBase-KR ports.

f4:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1888
f4:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1888
f4:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1888

The intel ICE driver does not have any luck starting these interfaces up.

The NVM update tool reports that the Ethernet Connection is in "blank mode"

I believe I need different NVM image for the device, but I do not know where to get this.

 

Thank you.
