Is it possible to install the Asus XG-C100C 10gbe PCIe adapter in Jetson AGX Orin?

Mar 04, 2024

Hello,

I am having a lot of trouble installing the Asus XG-C100C 10gbe PCIe drivers on my Jetson AGX Orin.

The driver in particular is this.

Specifically Version 5.0.3.5 which claims to work with kernels 3.10-5.11.

And the instructions it gives me are as follows:

Building and Installation

To manually build this driver:

Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel

module.

On a debian-based systems you should at least install the following packages:

sudo apt install linux-headers build-essential

Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice.

For example, use /home/username/aquantia.

Untar/unzip archive:

cd ~/aquantia

tar zxf Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z.tar.gz

Change to the driver src directory:

cd Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z/

NB! Make sure that pathname doesn’t contain whitespaces and special characters

(e.g. brackets), because kernel build system doesn’t support such paths

unfortunately and the build will fail.

Compile the driver module:

make

Unload the driver, if an older version is in use:

sudo rmmod atlantic

Load the dependencies and the module itself:

sudo make load

Install the driver

sudo make install

driver will be installed into the following location:

/lib/modules/uname -r/aquantia/atlantic.ko

NB! You might need to update initramfs image uponon install

(e.g. if atlantic.ko is a part of it, otherwise an old version will be

loaded from initramfs image on next reboot).

This is a potentially harmful operation, so ‘make install’ will check

if such an update is needed and will ask for your consent before actually

running update-initramfs / dracut.

Please make sure you understand the risks before choosing ‘Y’!

Alternatively build and install the driver with dkms

Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel

module.

On Debian-based systems the following command can be used:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-uname -r build-essential gawk dkms

On redhat-based systems the following command can be used:

sudo yum install kernel-devel-uname -r gcc gcc-c++ make gawk dkms

Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice.

For example, use /home/username/aquantia.

Untar/unzip archive:

cd ~/aquantia

tar zxf Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z.tar.gz

Change to the driver source directory:

cd Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z/

Build and install the driver:

sudo ./dkms.sh install

driver will be installed into the following location:

/lib/modules/uname -r/updates/dkms/atlantic.ko

Install the driver on Debian\Ubuntu using atlantic-x.y.z.deb

Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel

module.

Execute the command:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-uname -r

Move the atlantic-x.y.z.deb file to the directory of your choice.

For example, use /home/username/aquantia.

Execute the following commands:

cd /home/username/aquantia

sudo apt-get install ./atlantic-x.y.z.deb

You can use “dpkg -l | grep -i atlantic” to verify that the driver has been

installed.

The problem is that in every different alternative I need to install the linux headers for my kernel that is not available:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

[sudo] password for dummytool: 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.10.120-tegra

E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-5.10.120-tegra'

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-5.10.120-tegra'

Do I have any possible solution?

I have read that this card is in the compatibility list, so I guess that the driver is possible to be installed.

Many thanks!

I am working with Jetpack version 5.1.2-b104
