Subject: [dpdk-dev] Error running dpdk app: cannot open /dev/uio
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 13:43:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFpzwwPJuvhOzTaMzhDRTnm2xeto9p2Wt6X-yWKduB+GQMaMnA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi

I am trying to run the testpmd app as but I get the following errors:
EAL: VFIO could not be initialized
EAL: Cannot open /dev/uio0: No such file or directory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Requested device 0000:07:00.0 cannot be used

lsmod shows that the uio module is installed.
Is there anything that's missing?

Thanks!
Malveeka
