Re: [dpdk-users] using the basic l2fwd app

[Rami Rosen <roszenrami@gmail.com>]

Hi Kushal,
The output of dpdk-devbind -- status that you posted shows that there are
no ports that are bound to dpdk. This is the reason for the error you get.
You should try
insmod igb_uio.ko
( this kernel module is generated in the build process of DPDK)

And
dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:81:00.0

And likewise to the other port, 0000:81:00.1
And the launch the l2fwd app.


You can also use vfio-pci or uio_pci_generic for binding the device to
DPDK, look in the docs.

Regards,
Rami Rosen
