Bit of background on this, Tried to use DDP profiles whilst using an older image, which had ddptool version 1.0.0.0. It did not working when using a E810 Series NIC. The image update in this PR fixed the issue. Does the doc need to be updated to make note of this? |

I think, it would be better to specify the min version of this software that will work for E810 instead of naming DDPTool which is an internal component and from a user perspective is transparent.

Do you mean the min version of SRIOV DP?
Also, it was the ddptool that was the issue, and why it didn't work. so specifying the version of DP I think is irrelevant.
Since, once you use the correct version of ddptool, it worked.
Thoughts?

yes, min version of SRIOV DP. The latest tagged release 3.3.2 should be the min version which support E800 series DDP.

DDPTool is included in SRIOV DP (see images folder). From a user perspective, they don't care about version of DDPTool version. We do not want users to mix and match this tool but take the DDPTool version which comes with this software, so from their perspective, they only care about what ver of DP works with E800 series.

Okay I understand now, that makes sense.
I will make the change, the min version I'll put down is 3.3.2
