Hoi Pim, VPP runs on this board, but with some tricky things.
1. In the past, VPP had build-data/platform/dpaa.mk file , which is build parameters for DPDK for dpaa2-based system. It was removed from fdio/vpp repository few years ago. For cross-compiling VPP to that platfom, either for native compilation on the platform, you should get it and put to your git clone of recent VPP. 2. Also, you need to find "LSDK" - ported version on platform code repository, it also quite outdated (19.something latest), and then copy src/plugins/dpdk/buffer.c file to you recent clone. Otherwize VPP will segfault on start if it will see interfaces. Then, you need to build vpp with PLATFORM=dpaa2. After installation and before start, you should have DPNI interfaces, connected to platform DPMACs, either statically from device path line files, or dynamically by restool/scripts. Note, they should not be bound to Linux Kernel interfaces. You may use scripts from platform SDK DPDK distribution, or assign resources by restool manually. Then, export DPRC=dprc.X container env variable, and start VPP, it will start, it will see interfaces, may be even forward packets, but lack of stability make it unusefull. Which system you use on board? I do not know why, but for some reason on board with SolidRun binary from June,2022 and earlier VPP sees incoming packets and can forward them with amazing performance, but really unstable, especially if you try to use Linux-CP plugin, segfaults or hangs each few minutes. On fresh binaries, as well as Ubuntu-Core currently built from SolidRun scripts, VPP cannot see any incoming packets. I was trying different compilers, different approaches to build, with no luck to get it working well. Then, VPP will start, but I did not manage it to work more or less stable yet
