DentOS only supports switches with switch ASCIs/silico supported by Linux’ switchdev driver. The AS7712-32X uses the switch silicon Broadcom BCM56960 Tomahawk 3.2 Tbps, requiring proprietary interfaces/Linux drivers. Therefore it is not supported by DentOS. Please contact Broadcom to provide switchdev drivers, and allow their devices to be used in modern infrastructures with need for security and flexibility.
Publishing the ASIC documentation to allow writing drivers would even be better.
Until Broadcom does that, the AS7712-32X can’t and won’t be supported by DentOS. Therefore, please close the issue.
Thanks @paulmenzel
Hi,
I have been referring to https://github.com/opencomputeproject/OpenNetworkLinux.git for building ONL and now I have started with DentOS. To build it for AS7712-32X switch, I have added it under
ONLPM_OPTION_PLATFORM_ALLOWLIST
insetup.env
file. Build was successful with a Debian 9 Installer.Although, when installing the image on that switch, I am doing
lsmod
and don't see any platform modules loaded, evenonlpdump
is giving all sorts of error. Is this intended ?Enclosing error log of onlpdump
