Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] config: build nfp pmd support by default
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 11:50:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1484308202-5198-1-git-send-email-alejandro.lucero@netronome.com> (raw)
Because using a NFP PMD requires specific BSP installed, the PMD
support was not the default option before. This was just for making
people aware of such dependency, since there is no need for such a
BSP for just compiling DPDK with NFP PMD support.

Netronome's PMD code is provided in the **drivers/net/nfp** directory.
