Hi Marco,
thanks for posting the example I carefully composed mine using your as a basis and, guess, all works I don't have the exact cmdline I issued yesterday. Looks like bash didn't have a chance to save history But I guess I put all the -b options after the -- delimiter so they weren't parsed by rte_eal_init. You saved me a day! > > pino:~/dpdk-1.2.3r4 ~> sudo build/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 3 -r 1 -b > 0000:05:00.0 -b 0000:05:00.1 > EAL: coremask set to f > ... > Initializing port 0... done: Link Down > Initializing port 1... done: Link Down > Initializing port 2... done: Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex > Initializing port 3... done: Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex > No commandline core given, start packet forwarding > io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16 > nb forwarding cores=1 - nb forwarding ports=4 > RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0 > RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4 > TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0 > TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0 > TX RS bit threshold=0 > Press enter to exit > > [ssh is still up] > > > Regards, > Marco
