Dear Lijan,
The aarch64 development resources in the LF data center are in need of cleanup.
I tried to use fdio-cavium5 @ 10.30.51.66 (Ubuntu1804), but I find that the
login credentials have been changed.
I finally managed to gain access to fdio-mcbin3 @ 10.30.51.43 (Ubuntu1604). It
is in fact running Ubuntu 16.04, which is unsupported at this point. The Linux
4.4 kernel can be expected to cause trouble.
I had difficulty building a master/latest vpp image due to several warnings not
seen elsewhere. Since we validate every patch for aarch64, it’s likely a case
of tool chain bit rot. Anyhow, I finally managed to build an image.
Here’s what I see:
DBGvpp# create tap host-if-name lstack host-ip4-addr 192.168.10.2/24
create tap: ioctl(VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND): Bad address
This error comes from virtio_vring_init (...), and seems completely consistent
with running over an old kernel, instead of a 4.15 kernel. This may or may not
have anything to do with the issue you reported.
Unless folks clean up LF data center aarch64 development resources, we won’t be
able to help. It’s pretty clear that the issues with the tap/virtio driver are
aarch64-specific. Clean up includes making sure that credentials are properly
communicated, systems up to date / running e.g. Ubuntu 18.04, and master/latest
builds without having to hack things.
Although it’s possible to build aarch64 vpp images on a Raspberry-Pi – I have
one, and I’ve done that – it takes measured-in-hours to build an image. I don’t
have that kind of time available.
HTH... Dave

Subject: [vpp-dev] VPP tap interface issue on Arm servers
Hi,
We tried to create a VPP tap interface, assigned ip address to both VPP and
Linux side, and then ping VPP tap interface via host interface, and vice versa.
But ping failed on both side.
With below ping via VPP tap interface for example, it seems VPP has sent out
packets, but there’s no any counter increasing on the interface of host side.
Could you please suggest on this issue?
DBGvpp# create tap
DBGvpp# set int ip address tap0 16.0.10.2/24
DBGvpp# set int state tap0 up
$ sudo ip a add 16.0.10.1/24 dev tap0
DBGvpp# clear interfaces
DBGvpp# clear errors
DBGvpp# clear runtime
DBGvpp# ping 16.0.10.1
Statistics: 5 sent, 0 received, 100% packet loss
DBGvpp# show runtime
