Subject: [dpdk-dev] status of bnx2x driver?
Date: Fri, 4 May 2018 08:09:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bb529b679c414f36813c64bcf5e71b92@bilemail1.empirix.com> (raw)

Hi all,
I'm trying to use DPDK 17.11.2 and DPDK 18.02.1 with a 
   Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:168e]
NIC.

I did set
   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_PMD=y
And then tried the "testpmd" application.
Here's what I get:

EAL: Detected 32 lcore(s)

In dmesg I see:

...

...

So my question is: what's the status of the bnx2x driver?
(apparently somebody already asked that in 2015: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-November/027214.html ... I'm asking if there were any improvements)


Thanks,
Francesco Montorsi
