Dear David,

=================================================
$ lspci | grep -i broadcom
83:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM57508
NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb/200Gb Ethernet (rev 11)
83:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM57508
NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb/200Gb Ethernet (rev 11)
$ lspci -n -s 83:00.0
83:00.0 0200: 14e4:1750 (rev 11)
=================================================

I am compiling my code like this :
=================================================
gcc main.c `pkg-config --cflags libdpdk --libs libdpdk`
=================================================

Hence it is statically linked code.
If I try
$ dpdk-pmdinfo.py ./a.out

But I am not seeing any output



Thanks & Regards
