Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 5/8] doc: refer PMD compile and test section from ena doc
Date: Thu,  6 Apr 2017 13:21:54 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1491465117-11252-6-git-send-email-shijith.thotton@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1491465117-11252-1-git-send-email-shijith.thotton@caviumnetworks.com>

Refer the section which explains driver compilation and running of
testpmd in Linux, instead of describing it in driver documentation.

 At this point the system should be ready to run DPDK applications. Once the

-Usage example
--------------
-
-This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with Amazon ENA
-devices managed by librte_pmd_ena.
-
-#. Load the kernel modules:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      modprobe uio
-      insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
-
-   .. note::
-
-      Currently Amazon ENA PMD driver depends on igb_uio user space I/O kernel module
-
-#. Mount and request huge pages:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages
-      echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
-
-#. Bind UIO driver to ENA device (using provided by DPDK binding tool):
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio 0000:02:00.1
-
-#. Start testpmd with basic parameters:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -i
-
-   Example output:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      [...]
-      EAL: PCI device 0000:02:00.1 on NUMA socket -1
