Regarding BSP requirements for Wedge100BF-32X switch from edgecore

[iitindore-citc]

Dear All,

We have procured Wedge-100BF-32X switches from edgecore with Tofino chipset.
We need to download the SDE, BSP and other Tofino related licensed stuff from the intel, however the response is very slow from intel, we are not sure whether we could get the access for those packages.
Can someone help to get connected with right person at intel for the help?

Thanks and regards

As I know, those resources are under NDA, therefore, you have to participate in a program such as ICRP. The application process was completed within a few weeks in my case.

However, it is quite difficult to handle Wedge-100BF switches with only the manual at first, so, they offer courses through the Intel Connectivity Academy (ICA). The P4ICA provides proper courses on how to use Wedge-100BF switches (XFG-101). The course schedule for 2025 seems to be undecided yet at the moment, but I think they are going to make an announcement soon.

@iitindore-citc -- I've made Intel aware of the problem. Apparently they did not realize that open-p4studio cannot be used with the real ASIC and thought they could simply stop giving people access to the "real" P4Studio. They asked for a couple of weeks to sort it out, although it is not yet clear to me what kind of solution they have in mind.

@hcnam -- thank you very much for mentioning P4ica courses. While we have not scheduled any live classes yet, we made all our archives, (presentation materials, lab guides and video recordings) for all our classes available here. Click on the big "Get Tickets" button and select the course you'd like. The course prospectuses are available on our site.

@iitindore-citc We have a request from IIT Indore for our ICRP program. It is awaiting export check after which we will provide you access to BSP, SDE & documentation.
