We are using free format for test result reporting, you can find some samples in mail list, please check replies to release candidate emails in dev mailing list for samples, like: https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/MW4PR11MB5912FBE30092B821029858EA9FDE2@MW4PR11MB5912.namprd11.prod.outlook.com/ >> + >> +Dependencies >> +------------ >> + >> +At times, drivers may have dependencies to external software. >> +For driver dependencies, same DPDK rules for dependencies applies. >> +Dependencies should be publicly and freely available, >> +drivers which depend on non-available components will not be accepted. >> +If the required dependency is not yet publicly available, then wait to submit >> +the driver until the dependent library is available. >> + > Could you please interpret dependencies publicly and freely？There are 4 > scenarios as below: > 1.

Problematic cases are like (not limited to), dependency only delivered if you purchase the HW, or it is distributed only if you sign some agreement, or you need to reach out to company and provide some information to be able to get the SW etc... > Hello, Stephen, > > These guildelines are very useful for begineers like me :).
