Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- Learning about Wangxun 1 Gigabit Ethernet NICs using
|
|
`<https://www.net-swift.com/a/386.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.

|
|
|
Dynamic Logging Parameters
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
One may leverage EAL option "--log-level" to change default levels
|
|
for the log types supported by the driver. The option is used with
|
|
an argument typically consisting of two parts separated by a colon.
|
|
|
|
NGBE PMD provides the following log types available for control:
|
|
|
|
- ``pmd.net.ngbe.driver`` (default level is **notice**)
|
|
|
|
Affects driver-wide messages unrelated to any particular devices.
|
|
|
|
- ``pmd.net.ngbe.init`` (default level is **notice**)
|
|
|
|
Extra logging of the messages during PMD initialization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Driver compilation and testing
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
|
|
for details.
