Hello everyone,
I’m trying to run the GPUNetIO examples, which come with DOCA such as the “doca_gpunetio_simple_receive” or “doca_gpu_packet_processing”. The hardware i am using is a Connectx-6 VPI card (MCX653105A-ECAT) with FW 20.42.1000 in ethernet mode and a Quadro RTX 4000 GPU.
Whenever I launch of these programs I get the following outputs:
sudo ~/doca_gpunetio_samples/doca_gpunetio_simple_receive -g 01:00.0 -n 03:00.0
[14:43:23:943323][45738][DOCA][INF][gpunetio_simple_receive_main.c:167][main] Starting the sample

Does this nic simply not support Hardware Steering (HWS) and that code will never run on this card or am I doing something wrong?
The DPDK documentation on HW Steering with mlx5 devices just states “NIC ConnectX-5 and before are not supported.”, so it should work, right?
Best regards,
