Hi Team,

       Thankyou for providing this input.

In addition we have a few queries while running DPDK in Windows.
(A) On what scenario or an example,  can Virt2PHY driver be used?
(B) After we bind the interface using netuio.inf file, the example application testpmd.exe shows "No probed ethernet device". But in Device manager the interface shows available and bind with QDMA. Here we are using QDMA-PMD(https://github.com/Xilinx/dma_ip_drivers/tree/master/QDMA/DPDK) driver. This driver works with Linux environment.(Please let me know if we need to create new mail for this).

Thanks and regards,
Ayshathul Thuhara

Hi Ayshathul,

Adding Andre as currently the most involved Windows DPDK maintainer.

Virtio PMD could work in QEMU-KVM on Linux host with Windows guest as PoC.
However, the patches were never completed and merged
because of a few toolchain-related issues that no one had time to resolve.
In DPDK, the latest patch is this
(check also the link in that message and the discussion):

https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20210815145614.3826-1-u9012063@gmail.com/

In DPDK kmods repository, you'd need to add PCI IDs to the INF file.
