Broadcom SAI binary package version mismatch

[pawmas]

Hi SONiC team,

I'm just a little confused. I didn't find any information that SONiC team is contributing its own SAI implementation for Broadcom ASIC chips and as far as I know SONiC is using Broadcom SAI binary package. Am I correct?

So in the sai.mk at master branch I can see that to build SONiC image there is used Broadcom SAI binary package in version 3.1.3.5. On the second side we have available binary package of SAI implementation from official Broadcom's Github repo but we can find there only older version - 3.1.3.4.

Why this difference between 3.1.3.4 and 3.1.3.5? Does it mean that SONiC/Microsoft team contribute their own SAI implementation for Broadcom chips? Or Broadcom company will release 3.1.3.5 binary package soon (just SONiC team has access to it earlier)?

Thanks in advance for explain my concerns.

You are correct, SONiC team doesn't come up with another implementation of browdcom SAI.

Please contact Broadcom for individual release of SAI.

Thanks and regards,

Yes. We mainly update the subversion due to some early bug fixes.
