DPU didn't start after reboot Host

Infrastructure & Networking BlueField

Hi，
I have installed DOCA on a new DPU successfully according to Install DOCA SDK with SDK Manager :: NVIDIA SDK Manager Documentation
And I successfully connected to the DPU by through excuting
sudo ssh ubuntu@192.168.100.2
After that I reboot the Host,but the DPU doesn’t seem to start.
The interface tmfifo_net0 also misses when excuting ‘ifconfig’
How to boot DPU on host?

Hi @2196651959 ,

I suggest the following:

  1. Is tmfifo_net0 missing or is it down? (check with ‘ifconfig -a’). If down, please bring it up.
  2. Check if ‘systemd-udevd’ service is running.
  3. Try to unload the tmfifo module and load it again.
  4. Check for udev messages in /var/log/messages.

Regards,
Chen

Hi，
Thanks for your reply
According to your suggestion，I find：
1.when I excute ifconfig -a，tmfifo_net0 is lost.
2.systemd-udevd is runing.resluts as follow

3.I use ‘sudo mod probe tmfifo’ to load it ,but failed as follow
modprobe: FATAL: Module tmfifo not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-152-generic
4.There seems no file named message in this position.
Best wishes

Hi,Chen
This seems to be a driver problem. I uninstalled the old driver, installed the latest version, and the problem was solved.
Thanks for your help.
