Hi Members , I am trying to get DPDK installed on x86_64 mahine by following below steps git clone https://dpdk.org/git/dpdk cd dpdk/ meson -Dexamples=all build cd build ninja ninja install a) Any input where should in find "igb_uio.ko" b) Even i tried modprobe igb_uio.ko , it didn't helped as i dont see /usr/local/lib64/dpdk/drivers folder but i can see /usr/local/lib64/dpdk/pmds-21.3/librte_* c) Basically , i wanted to install latest DPDK on my laptop and run an testpmd Is there any document where we can find the step's to build and run testpmd for the latest version of DPDK I am new to DPDK , hence will be helpful if community can share some pointers Thanks , Ashish
Hi Ashish, Kmods are no longer part of the dpdk git tree, Check this git for the kmods http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/ Kindest regards, Raslan Darawsheh > -----Original Message----- > From: users <users-bounces@dpdk.org> On Behalf Of Ashish Mishra > Sent: Tuesday, July 6, 2021 3:26 PM > To: users <users@dpdk.org> > Subject: [dpdk-users] Installation of latest DPDK on x86_64 machine > > Hi Members , > > I am trying to get DPDK installed on x86_64 mahine by following below steps > git clone https://dpdk.org/git/dpdk > cd dpdk/ > meson -Dexamples=all build > cd build > ninja > ninja install > > a) Any input where should in find "igb_uio.ko" > > b) Even i tried modprobe igb_uio.ko , it didn't helped as i dont see > /usr/local/lib64/dpdk/drivers folder but i can see > /usr/local/lib64/dpdk/pmds-21.3/librte_* > > c) Basically , i wanted to install latest DPDK on my laptop and run an testpmd > Is there any document where we can find the step's to build and run > testpmd > for the latest version of DPDK > > I am new to DPDK , hence will be helpful if community can share some > pointers > > > Thanks , > Ashish
Hi Raslan , Thanks for the pointer , I will look at this. Can I assume that the build is proper , if the helloworld application runs fine. or any other application is used by DPDK community to ensure sanity of build . Thanks , Ashish

I guess you can have a look at this guide: https://core.dpdk.org/doc/quick-start/ which should help you on doing the sanity check which you are looking for.

Thanks David & Raslan ,
Will look at these suggestions.
Yesterday I was able to proceed somewhat with dpdk-stable-19.11.8
Will try the latest as suggested .
Thanks a lot .
