- Why I did it
Mellanox syncd container will be based on Debian iproute2 plus patches instead of Nvidia internal version of iproute2
- How I did it
Download iproute2 from Debian repository, apply patches and compile to create a new target.
The target is then deployed in syncd container of Mellanox switches only.
The new target is called IPROUTE2_MLNX.
- How to verify it
Compile and load on switch, verify interfaces network devices created successfully.
Verify LLDP shows connections to neighbors.
Verify ping between 2 hosts over 2 router ports is successful.
- Why I did it
Add SDK hash calculator Debian and update SDK makefile to compile it.
- How I did it
SDK hash calculator Debian will be used by ECMP calculator (PR #12482)
- How to verify it
Compile sonic-buildimage and verify SDK hash calculator Debian exist in target folder.
This is due to the fact that we use SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS internally
in our build jobs and this is not accounted in caching framework.
So we add MLNX_SDK_DEB_VERSION to force rebuild if we changed it via
SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS.
