ofs-2023.3-2 is Released!

[cohensus]

We are pleased to announce the ofs-2023.3-2 release of the Open FPGA Stack to GitHub!

This patch release provides both the software and hardware infrastructure updates for the Intel^® Agilex^® 7 PCIe Attach reference designs for the following targets:

1. Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL Development Platform
2. Intel Agilex 7 FPGA F-Series Development Kit (2x F-Tile)
3. Intel Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit (2xR-Tile, F-Tile).

The release provides only software updates for the:

1. Intel^® Agilex^® 7 SoC Attach reference design with the following target:
   • Intel® FPGA IPU F2000X-PL Development Platform.
2. Intel^® Stratix^® 10 PCIe Attach reference design with the following target:
   • Intel^® FPGA PAC D5005 development card.

What's New

• New 2 physical function (PF) shell build option targeting the Intel Agilex 7 PCIe Attach F-Series P-Tile/E-Tile devices that provides capability for partial reconfiguration functionality on a PF and also the ability to bind your workload (AFU) to a virtual machine through a PF.

• Linux kernel updates

• oneapi-asp repository fixes to enable double buffering and GZIP examples
