SmartNIC/ConnectX-6/Crypto devices

Would you know how to use the crypto feature in the SmartNICs? We are using DPDK to accelerate packet processing. However, we are unable to load the crypto driver to run the DPDK test. Any help is much appreciated.

EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 20

EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1

EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK

EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket

EAL: Selected IOVA mode ‘PA’

EAL: VFIO support initialized

EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:101b) device: 0000:00:08.0 (socket -1)

mlx5_crypto: Not enough capabilities to support crypto operations, maybe old FW/OFED version?

mlx5_common: Failed to load driver crypto_mlx5

EAL: Requested device 0000:00:08.0 cannot be used

EAL: Bus (pci) probe failed.

TELEMETRY: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created

APP: HPET is not enabled, using TSC as default timer
