Porting AQC drivers to ESXi
This is a project aiming to port drivers for Aquantia's AQC line of ethernet devices to ESXi.
This requires a few components from the toolchain - see the files starting with build to see which components are used.
I've been working on this on a CentOS 5.6 32-bit install, since I could compile most components of VWMware's ESXi toolchain compiled there. Compiling on a newer setup proved to be harder and the compilation didn't work so well. It could be that VMWare's instructions were not very accurate. The compilation of binutils proved to be complicate because VMWare didn't update all the versions with the necessary links to required components.
This porting has been started based on this tutorial: http://www.vm-help.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=4340
Changes on the original code are usually marked with a
#if defined (___VMKLNX___)
aqc is the public available source code on Atlantia's website.
aqc2 is the development source code used by Atlantia.
I will try to maintain a list of most issues found when compiling.
