.. warning::
The UIO drivers and hugepages must be setup prior to running an application.
Before running the application make sure:
.. warning::
- Hugepages setup is done.
- Any kernel driver being used is loaded.
- In case needed, ports being used by the application should be
bound to the corresponding kernel driver.
Any ports to be used by the application must be already bound to an appropriate kernel
module, as described in :ref:`linux_gsg_binding_kernel`, prior to running the application.
refer to :ref:`linux_gsg_linux_drivers` for more details.

which provides some options that are generic to every DPDK application.
