This v12.4.5 package is a maintenance release addressing two cases, one related to the support for the qualified transceiver FTLC9558REPM and one related to the ability to use imgctrl to downgrade an FPGA image from a newer version not known by imgctrl to an older known version of the FPGA image supported by the given adapter.
The Napatech Link™ Capture 12.4 software release series introduced support for 2x1/10G on NT200A02 and improved timestamp precision and accuracy for 1G and 10G on NT40E3
Please see the software release note for further details.
Please refer to the documentation and release notes for details on the new features, bugfix’es and which SmartNIC products the new features apply to.
Feature summary (new and improved features in the 12.4 series):
NT200A02:
2x1/10G support with optimized timestamp precision and accuracy added to Capture/Replay feature set (new FPGA image 200-9555-32-10)
Tx path latency values available via NTAPI for 2x25G, 2x40G and 2x100G with Capture Test & Measurement feature set
NT40E3:
Improved timestamp precision and accuracy for 1G and 10G on NT40E3-4-PTP Capture/Replay CR2 feature set (FPGA image 200-9538-34-09)
This release also resolves these Support requests and issues (compared to the 12.3.3):
(12.4.5) Support-ID 43767: Link Instability between ports with different kinds of QSFP28 modules e.g. FTLC9558REPM and FTLC9551REPM
(12.4.5) Support-ID 43646: imgctrl enabled to re-program the FPGA-FLASH when a "newer" FPGA is running
(12.4.3) Support-ID 43730: Updated check of validity of ntservice.ini parameters fails
(12.4.3) Support-ID 43732: ntservice.ini check reports errors on all parameters in adapter sections for non-present adapters
(12.4.2) Support-ID 43502: Signal handlers for SIGHUP and SIGTERM to pps tools, to ensure correct clean up on program termination
(12.4.2) Support-ID 43608: latency/pktgen tool now support 4ga timestamp inject
(12.4.2) Support-ID 43389: Updated Port-2-port precision and accuracy of dual NT200A02 setup (10G)
(12.4.2) Support-ID 43295: Timestamp difference of +/- 20 ns when capturing on two 10G ports on NT40E3
(12.4.2) Support-ID 43633: A segfault error may happen for certain return values from the NT API.
