Will look into UIO driver. Advice for this project: * Encourage others to use draft repo common code – to align on licenses and meson/msbuild building * Need to rebase to 19.05 from 18.08 (this needs to be solved first) * We need to make clear the status of the work on windows - publish a roadmap on dpdk.org for 19.08 & 19.11. * We need to be clear on draft repo usage, naming, branching etc. - Also maintain history. - Always send patches to the draft repo. - Send when ready send to the mailing list. - If the patches are NOT to be merged, please add a tag to the title (19.08, 19.11, etc.). * CI: The community lab support will need to be improved, need to ask for Windows additions to the Community lab (UNH). * Mellanox plan to include CI for windows, target end of Q3 * rte_panic() – this is everywhere in Linux. - We are always working to remove rte_panic from all patches. - Please return error rather than exit. Agenda for next call: – good to sync up on the bus/pci and general status.
