Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] config: disable enic driver on Power

["Sujith Sankar (ssujith)" <ssujith@cisco.com>]

Hi David,

I shall take a look at it get back soon after some tests.
One point here is that ENICPMD will be used only on UCS servers (as Cisco VIC cards are shipped only with them) and  they are all x86_64.  So you could turn it off for all the other architectures.

Thanks,
-Sujith

Hello Sujith,

Please can you have a look at this in your enic driver ?
I find it weird to use these types while we could use <stdint.h> types such as uint8_t etc...

Thanks.

Disable it on Power for now.
