Compatibility to AS5712 #74

Hi David,
Here is the list of compatible hardware for OPX:
https://www.openswitch.net/hardware/ <https://www.openswitch.net/hardware/>
As you can see on the compatibility list, the Edgecore (Acton) platform supported today is "AS7512-32X”. The platform you’re trying is not supported.
In general, onboarding a platform on OPX is not a very lengthy/difficult process, but it does require the manufacturers support and cooperation in forms of open sourcing some drivers and platform files.
Thanks,
Joe

I naively tried installing OPX using ONIE with the installer provided at https://archive.openswitch.net/installers/3.2.0/Dell-EMC/PKGS_OPX-3.2.0-installer-x86_64.bin <https://archive.openswitch.net/installers/3.2.0/Dell-EMC/PKGS_OPX-3.2.0-installer-x86_64.bin>
When installing using the onie-rescue mode, I only get the following output - after reboot, the system is unchanged:

I guess this build is only for DELL-EMC? Are there pre-built installers for the AS5712? How would I go about compiling it? I read that OpenSwitch was compatible with the AS5712 - is the same true for OPX? If not, where can I get the older versions, e.g. 1.0.0?

Thanks for your answer! Regarding my second question: where can I find old releases of OpenSwitch (OPS not OPX)? |

Hi David,
The procedure to onboard a platform is fairly straightforward as long as
the NPU is the same or already supported. If the NPU is different, you need
to contact Edgecore for the code since the NPU related code is always the
biggest challenge to obtain. Here is the guide to port a new platform for
OPX:
https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/OPX-porting-guide
On you comment about “Vendor lock-in”, that’s definitely one way of looking
at it. The reality is that Dell has been one of the only contributers that
has stayed with the project for the last 4 years and continued to
contribute code and hardware. If the project is still alive, it’s because
of Dell.
The original openswitch code was archived for 3 years and based on a
decision by The technical board and Linux Foundation, it was removed. I
don’t know if there is a way to get access to it.
Thanks,
Joe

Are there any (serious) efforts porting OPX for non-Dell hardware? From
the 22 supported devices, 21 are from Dell. This seems like vendor lock-in
again?
