thunderbolt-drivers extension

Installation

See Installing Extensions.

Usage

Enable the thunderbolt module in Talos machine config. If you need Thunderbolt/USB4 networking, enable thunderbolt_net module as well.

machine:
  kernel:
    modules:
      - name: thunderbolt
      - name: thunderbolt_net

Verifiying

You can verify the modules are enabled by reading the /proc/modules where it should show the module is live.

For example:

❯ talosctl -n 192.168.42.15  read /proc/modules
thunderbolt_net 24576 - - Live 0xffffffffc0414000
thunderbolt 299008 - - Live 0xffffffffc03ca00

In addition, if you're using networking, you should be able to verify presence of the network interfaces, checking /sys/class/net directory.

For example:

❯ talosctl -n 192.168.42.15 ls /sys/class/net/ | grep -E 'NODE|thunderbolt'
NODE            NAME
192.168.42.15   thunderbolt0
192.168.42.15   thunderbolt1

You can also verify everything in dmesg:

❯ talosctl -n 192.168.42.15 dmesg
