Hi
for my master thesis I am supposed to write a kernel module which uses functions of another module on the Xeon Phi.
The testmachine I have is running RHEL 6.4.
As for the Kernel development I need and OS with a newer kernel version. I decided to use Gentoo with Kernel 3.14.14 which already has the mic_card and mic_host modules. Or maybe you have suggestions how to work with the Phi-module on RHEL 6.4, especially API like the 3.13+ kernel versions
So for now my system has the mic_host module running and lspci shows the Phi as a Coprocessor.
I also did install the mpss-daemon and micctrl which also came with the Kernel under /documentation/mic/mpssd.
As for now I cannot access or boot the card as I do not have the firmware and the ramdisk files.
Where can I get these? Or do I need to compile a 3.14.14 Kernel for the mic? How is this done?
Thanks in Advance
