OK I am not sure what combination got everything to work but the interfaces are showing up now in vppctl!
also rdma commands work as well. I think it was a combination of the following: * git clone the repo * edit build/external/packages/dpdk.mk, * turn the following to "y" (DPDK_MLX4_PMD, DPDK_MLX5_PMD, DPDK_MLX5_COMMON_PMD) * Set DPDK_MLX_IBV_LINK to static * make make wipe-release;make build-release * make pkg-deb * sudo dpkg -i build-root/*.deb * Create conf file without comments (optinal) * sudo cp /etc/vpp/startup.conf /etc/vpp/startup.conf.original; cat /etc/vpp/startup.conf | grep -v "^#.*" | grep -v ".*#.*" | awk 'NF' > /etc/vpp/startup.conf * edit the file and add your dpdk interfaces make sure to add the dpdk section * restart vpp I suppose the only question I have is how is it possible the dpdk interfaces are showing up in vpp? I ask this as the interfaces I configured in startup.conf are still linked to the kernel and up. However they still show up in vpp as interfaces. If I deactivate the interfaces, unbind from the kernel, and bind to dpdk, then restart vpp, then they dont show up. Is this expected?
