load driver error on ESXi 7.0 U3f

Hello, 

I develop a GPIO driver on a industrial computer with ESXi 7.0. The dirver is able to be installed by using VIB package. However, the driver is able to loaded by ESXi 7.0. see below:

2022-08-18T11:55:27.884Z cpu0:262858)Jumpstart plugin da820dio activation failed: Method invocation failed

Do you have any solution to the issue?

I am looking forward to the solution. Thank you very much.

You're most likely affected by the removal of vmkapi versions in ESXi 7.0.
see e.g. the Cause section of https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78389
