Kernel 3.13.x introduced the support for Intel MIC Card Driver. I looked at the 3.13.2 kernel for f20 in koji and the driver is not enabled. Specficically, I need: CONFIG_INTEL_MIC_CARD=y or m CONFIG_INTEL_MIC_HOST=m These are under misc options. The reason is that in a few days I am getting a DELL Precision 5610 with the Intel Xeon Phi co-processor card and the above modules should support the driver recognition and user space (I can figure out how to automate the loading of modules etc.) Thanks
I've enabled them both as modules in Fedora git. Will be in the next build. Thanks.
Thank you very much. They do compile fine in the kernel rpm. The Intel developers also put the mpssd deamon and scripts for starting the daemon under the Documentation tree (mic subdirectory), with a Makefile to build and install them under /usr/sbin/. They use the older rc.d scripts for enabling the daemon. I can do this myself but for the long run it would be nice to have a separate package to include these. Thanks
I agree a separate package would be better. You are more than welcome to split it out and shepard one through the Fedora review process, or find someone else willing to do so.
Ok. When I get my machine and install Fedora 20 with the new kernel etc. I will debug everything and make sure I get it to work properly. After that I can suggest/shepard packaging. Thanks
