Is QAT.L.4.25.0-00001.tar.gz compliance with Linux u2404 6.8.0-31-lowlatency??

[hector-cao]

Hello Ubuntu 24.04 comes with QAT components available (qatlib, qatengine and qatzip). Please give it a try instead of compiling the QAT lib yourself

[jdschuet]

Can you provide output of the following command:
lspci -nn | egrep -e '8086:37c8|8086:19e2|8086:0435|8086:6f54|8086:4940|8086:4942'

This will help us understand the hardware we are working with.
Thanks,
Joel

In the version of QAT modules in Ubuntu 24.04 is 0.6.0, we try to use at lesat QAT.L.4.16.0-00017 for QAT modules.
However we cannot compile QAT.L.4.16.0 successfully even if the latest version QAT.L.4.25.0.

[ptpetroc]

Hello -- we are currently working on releasing a new QAT CE package that is compatible with the 6.8 kernel version.

This release is currently trending July/August '24 timeframe.

Best Regards,
Patrick
