Hi, Where can i find information on P4 program loading and running ? I could not find the same in DOCA manual. Am i missing anything ? Thanks, Ratheesh

BlueFields do not support P4. You could use software P4 implementation on the ARM cores, probably.

Hi All, I have the same question, do you already have official support for P4 with BlueField-2 DPU and DOCA? In another thread it was targeted May 2022 for the first phase of p4 support including a p4 compiler and some associated development tools. Thanks & Regards, Rafael.

Hi all. I’d like to revive the discussion as I am interested in running P4 programs on the Bluefield-2 smartNIC (are there other NVIDIA NICs supporting it?). The downside of using P4 on the ARM cores for me is that the performance might not be as good as running it on the smartNIC custom hardware. …

Hello all, I will also like to understand about the status of the P4 support in DOCA - since there is no response in previous posts (initial target May 2022) thanks Chrysa
