Driver Compilation
------------------
To compile LiquidIO PMD for Linux x86_64 gcc target, run the following "make"
command:
.. code-block:: console
cd <DPDK-source-directory>
make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
Sample Application Notes
------------------------
This section demonstrates how to launch ``testpmd`` with LiquidIO® CN23XX
device managed by ``librte_pmd_lio`` in Linux operating system.
#. Mount huge pages:
.. code-block:: console
mkdir /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
#. Request huge pages:
.. code-block:: console
echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages/nr_hugepages
#. Load ``vfio-pci`` driver:
.. code-block:: console
modprobe vfio-pci
#. Bind the LiquidIO VFs to ``vfio-pci`` loaded in previous step:
Setup VFIO permissions for regular users and then bind to ``vfio-pci``:
.. code-block:: console
sudo chmod a+x /dev/vfio
sudo chmod 0666 /dev/vfio/*
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind vfio-pci 0000:03:00.3 0000:03:08.3
#. Start ``testpmd`` with basic parameters:
.. code-block:: console
./build/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 4 -- -i
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
