failed to initialize MAC when running "./user/flextoe.out"

Hi, I am trying to run FlexTOE on Agilio® CX 2x40GbE SmartNIC, but failed to initialize MAC when running "./user/flextoe.out".

Here is output:

root@node93:~/netronome/FlexTOE# modprobe uio
root@node93:~/netronome/FlexTOE# insmod kernel/flextoe_uio.ko
root@node93:~/netronome/FlexTOE# ./scripts/devbind.py --status

How can we solute this problem? Thanks

After failing to initialize MAC, if I re-execute "./user/flextoe.out", the output is:

flextoe_dma_mem virt:0x7fac80000000 phy:0x700000000 len:40000000

Hard to say what is the issue. You might want to check if your NFP flash is up-to-date. Another thing you could try is to reset the service processor on the NIC - easiest way to do it is to reboot the machine. But, there's also a tool in the Board Support Package (BSP) to reset the processor (nfp-arm as far as I can recall).
