There was an attempt to create "driver/common" but latter the common code for NXP HW device got moved to drivers/bus/dpaa/. Linux kernel has something called "driver/soc", I think, "driver/soc" may be more appropriate. Currently DPDK's driver build dependency is in the following order (bus, mempool, net, crypto, event). Other than driver/common or driver/soc, one option could be to - Move the common code to bus or mempool and - Across the drivers, include the header files through CFLAGS if the common code is in header file http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/drivers/event/octeontx/Makefile#n13 > > Regards, > Liron > > >
