Bluefield Configuration Issue

[Stephen Mayhew]

Hello,

I am trying to run the example code to use a bluefield dpu in JupyterHub. When I run the code to configure the bluefield I get an error. I have attached a screenshot of the code and error message. Let me know if more information is needed.

Thank you

We will look into the problem with bluefield.configure() if there is a fix needed.

On the other hand, dpu_ubuntu_24 image includes the BF-bundle file in /opt/bf-bundle directory. You can install according to standard installation steps (found in DOCA Downloads page)

Specifically for bluefield.config(), I believe it’s executing the following, so that you can issue manually.

sudo ip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev tmfifo_net0
sudo ip link set tmfifo_net0 up
sudo bfb-install --bfb /opt/bf-bundle/<BFB-FILE> --rshim rshim0

Hi Stephen,

There was a mismatch in the code for configure function and the actual BFB image on the host. I pushed a fix for this and updated the notebook too. The notebook should work now.

Thank you for sharing your observation and helping us address the issue. Appreciate it!

Best,

Komal
