Subject: [dpdk-dev] Minimum kernel version for DPDK
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018 11:46:25 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGXs5wXPH4aXwZWcZ=0HO10qmD1tnQQq_t4OKhPxrF35dtK1eA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Maybe this is a silly question, please bear with me.
According to the “Getting Started Guide for Linux” in
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.html,
the kernel version should be >= 3.2.
Accrding to my understanding, there are only two kernel modules in DPDK,
namely rte_kni.ko and igb_iuo.ko.
Instead of igb_uio.ko I intend to use uio_pci_generic.ko for binding the device.
I want to work with DPDK with kernel 3.1, without using rte_kni and no igb_uio
as mentioned.
Won't the DPDK code compile for such a kernel ? won't it work ?
Regards,
Kevin
