I'm trying to run testpmd (and then develop my own applications) with DPDK 1.8 and the Mellanox ConnectX-3. The setup script/quickstart/Getting Started guide don't have too much information about what to do if you have a Mellanox. I've installed libibverbs and libmlx4 system-wide. This is the closest I found to a guide for the Mellanox: https://dpdk.readthedocs.org/en/stable/prog_guide/mlx4_poll_mode_drv.html . When I run testpmd as described by this article, I get "Cause: No probed ethernet device". Here are my questions: 1. Is this how I should set the PMD flag for DPDK? "make install T= CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX4_PMD=y" 2. If not, how should I do it? 3. Does using the Mellanox mean that I shouldn't use igb_uio at all? 4. Do I need to bind the Mellanox to mlx4_core before using testpmd? I would be happy to contribute to the help page with end-to-end instructions for using the Mellanox with testpmd. Best, Raghav Sethi
