Internal/OpenFlow/HostSetup

@@ -215 +215 @@
 The goal of this project is to set up two NetFPGA hosts as !OpenFlow switches capable of tunneling. The hosts we are going to be using are the NetFPGA pre-built quad-core rack PCs ([http://www.accenttechnologyinc.com/product_info.php?products_id=5 found here]). Although the PC's come with CentOS pre-installed with the proper drivers needed for the NetFPGAs, we want to use Ubuntu. This section will document the steps needed to build a host running Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition.
 
-We saved the HDD w/ CentOS that came with the PC.

+== 2. Installing NetFPGA Drivers ==
+Steps described by the NetFPGA tunneling page:
+ 1. Install base package
+ 2. Install !OpenFlow components
+
+=== 1. Installing base package ===
+
+1. Download the tarballs from http://netfpga.org/beta/distributions/  [[BR]]
+For this you need a !FosWiki account (register [http://www.netfpga.org/foswiki/bin/view/System/UserRegistration?skin= here]). Download the newest netfpga_base_beta package (currently 2.0.0). Untar:
    
- * FosWiki account (for downloading tarballs): register [http://www.netfpga.org/foswiki/bin/view/System/UserRegistration?skin= here]  
- 
-
- * packages (you need a !FosWiki account): http://netfpga.org/beta/distributions/

+ tar -xvf netfpga_base_beta_2_0_0.tar.gz 
+   
+Untarring the package will create the directory NF2.  
+
+2. Edit files/ symlinks as per compatibility page [[BR]]
+
+Create links:
+{{{
+ln /usr/bin/lspci /sbin/lspci
+ln /usr/bin/setpci /sbin/setpci
+ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8.3
+}}}
+
+test_loopback_drop/run has been renamed run.pl in the most recent package. In this file you just need to change 'usleep 250' to 'sleep 0.00025'.  
+
+NF2/lib/C/kernel/Makefile is already in working condition - you don't need to modify it. 
+
+*Stopped at this point: The IRQF_SHARED flag is deprecated in kernels greater than 2.6.24. Instead, the SA_SHIRQ flag is used in include/linux/interrupt.h . in Ubuntu compatibility page**    
+
+
+3. Edit and run user_account_setup.pl [[BR]]
+The script sets environmental variables. It is located under /NF2/lib/scripts/user_account_setup/ . Running it as is will throw an error saying
+
+ cat: /usr/local/NF2/bashrc_addon: No such file or directory   
+ 
+The easiest thing to do is to edit the script to contain the exact path to your NF2 directory and bashrc_addon:
+{{{
+else
+{
+  print "Copying the NF2 directory to your user account\n";
+  `cp -r /home/netfpga/NF2 ~`;
+}
+
+print "Adding the NetFPGA Enviornment Variables to your .bashrc\n";
+`cat /home/netfpga/NF2/bashrc_addon >> ~/.bashrc\n`;
+}}} 
+Then it will run correctly (here NF2 is already in the home directory)
+{{{
+$ ./user_account_setup.pl NF2 directory already exists copy has been canceled
+Adding the NetFPGA Enviornment Variables to your .bashrc
+}}}
