Do you mean that spdk registers its drivers after rte_eal_init() has returned? Nothing should prevent from registering the drivers them before calling rte_eal_init(), did you try this? If the drivers are in the form of shared libraries (.so files), did you try to load them using the -d eal option? -- David Marchand
