  • 1.  broadcom patches for netmap

    Posted Oct 13, 2025 12:25 PM

    LS,

    I might not be in the right place here, but I dont know where else to start. I want to experiment with netmap in linux, and i am trying to get the patches for broadcom adapters as laid out in this document:
    Netmap

    Broadcom remove preview
    Netmap
    Provides information on Netmap
    View this on Broadcom >


     but I cant seem to find out where to download these from. I have a broadcom support account.

    can anybody perhaps point me in the right direction??

    kind regards,
    hidde van der lijn

    @hidde van der lijn -  thanks for the question - you have posted in the correct general community.    We currently do not support this product on the Broadcom Community, therefore your resource would be https://support.broadcom.com.   I see that you found the tech docs page - there may be other resources on our main support site.   Thanks  Jason, Platform Admin

    Hi Jason,

    thanks for taking the time to reply and apologies for barking up the wrong tree. but I thought someone here might be more familiar with all the terminology used and could point me to where to find them, the support site is a bit overwhelming for me. the technical docs speak of SIT build (to quote: Download and install netmap by retrieving the corresponding netmap repo from SIT build (for example, bnxt_netmap-1.10.2-225.0.35.0.tar.gz)). The support chat pointed me to the support site, but there I cannot find this SIT thing.

    kind regards,

    hidde

    PS. I don't expect any support or help with building or using these netmap patches, just a hint on where to find them.
