Hi Daniel, Activating PMD also requires having closed-source MLX libraries installed, as MLX PMD is just wrapper around them
Fact that it depends on closed source libs prevents us from enabling MLX devices by default. So we will need to add configuration knob and that will require some tweaking of vpp build system, I plan to do that but it is not top thing on my todo list… I was also thinking about building native driver for mlx using their libraries and skip overhead of PMD, that might be interesting project… Thanks, Damjan On 30 Nov 2016, at 20:36, Bernier, Daniel (520165) <daniel.bern...@bell.ca<mailto:daniel.bern...@bell.ca>> wrote: Hello, Currently working on leveraging MLX5 drivers in VPP which requires activating the PMD at DPDK compilation? Is it something that can be done through the VPP build process (e.g. tweaking with DPDK .config file)? Making it part of the default binary package?
