Subject: [dpdk-dev] DPDK apps are now working on CentOS 6.4
Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 07:06:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51963964.3020200@mahan.org> (raw)
This is an update to my last email requesting help with the DPDK sources and
Fedora 14.
After talking with a colleague who was investigating DPDK as well, I removed the
Fedora 14 install and installed instead CentOS 6.4. After installing the
release, I did a 'yum update' on the kernel sources to obtain their latest kernel
(2.6.32 + patches) which seems to include the hugepage fixes pointed out in the
"Getting Started" guide. Plus, HPET was fully there (it was not mmapable in F14
until I rebuilt the kernel).
Booted with hugepages=1024, mounted /mnt/huge, 'make config' and 'make',
installed uio and igb_uio and ran build/app/testpmd as shown on the website and
now packets are moving. I don't know (yet) why Fedora 14 would not work while
CentOS does when it looks like they have the same fixes. I partitioned my drive
when I installed CentOS so I could install Fedora 14 back on the box as well.
The only error I was the inability to mmap the HPET even though the kernel config
shows HPET_MMAP=y.
Later,
Patrick
