The instructions to not align with the downloaded file - there is no mlx5_modules folder. I have tried guessing around but without luck. Also what about the build.sh* file ?
I want to compile a 3.5.0 version of the driver for FreeBSD 11.2.
I have setup a vm with FreeBSD 11.2 and also downloaded the FreeBSD 11.2 source files to /usr/src. I have downloaded the Mellanox driver 3.5.0 source files - and extracted the files. What is the right way to proceed?
Hello Kristian,
Many thanks for posting your inquiry on the Mellanox Community.
Based on you information, FreeBSD driver version 3.5.0 is not supported for FreeBSD 11.2. See the following link to the RN → http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/Mellanox_FreeBSD_Release_Notes_3.5.0.pdf
Supported FreeBSD version is 12.
As of version 3.5.1 our driver code is completely upstream, incorporated with the distribution. No need to install any additional driver s/w from our site.
Under FreeBSD 12.0 and with driver version 3.5.0, we do not experience any issue, when using the ‘build.sh’ script provided with the driver.
