3.1.

Compiling and Installing the kernel

1. Install FreeBSD 10.X/11.X from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/
2. If you haven't done so already, download the tar-ball ChelsioUwire-FBSD-x.x.x.x.tar.gz from
Chelsio Download Center,
3. Untar the tar-ball using the following command:
[root@host~]# tar xvf ChelsioUwire-FBSD-x.x.x.x.tar.gz
4. This package has the entire FreeBSD world (operating system). You need to build entire
FreeBSD world since infiniband core driver compiles only within FreeBSD kernel and not
separately as a module.
Build the FreeBSD world (operating system) from the package as follows:
a. Add the following entry in /etc/src.conf file:
WITH_OFED='yes'
b. Create a backup of existing kernel source.
[root@host~]# mv /usr/src /usr/src_bkp
c. Copy the contents of ChelsioUwire-FBSD-x.x.x.x/kernel-head to /usr/src/
d. Build and install the world as follows:
[root@host~]# cd usr/src/
[root@host~]# make buildworld
[root@host~]# make installworld
