Subject: [dpdk-dev] Loading external PMD
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2016 12:21:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b6c20219-8dab-3a48-f0c9-a0484b290c53@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
I want to write my own PMD for testing and debugging purposes. I 
compiled it as shared library and I was going to load it using "-d" 
option. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
I walked through DPDK source code I found out that "-d" options does 
hardly anything (please correct me if I am wrong). Could you explain me 
what was initial purpose of "-d" option?
If the option is obsolete / not implemented / whatever, this information 
should be placed in documentation. Current description is IHMO misleading.
I wonder if there is any other way of using my own PMD expect linking 
binary with it.
Best regards
