We've thankful for all the support from this group. Most everyone has suggested "get your code upstream ASAP"; but our team is cut from the "if it isn't tested, it doesn't work" cloth. We now have some solid miles on our Arkville PMD driver "ark" with 16.07. Mostly testpmd and a suite of user apps; dts not so much, only because our use case is a little different. We expect almost all of our contribution would land under $dpdk/drivers/net/ark . We are looking past 16.11 to possibly jump on board when the 17.02 window opens in December. One question that came up is "Should we do a thorough port and regression against 16.11 as a precursor to up streaming at 17.02?". Constructive feedback always welcome! -Shep Shepard Siegel, CTO atomicrules.com On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 9:07 AM, Thomas Monjalon wrote: > 2016-08-17 08:34, Shepard Siegel: > > Atomic Rules is new to the DPDK community.
