1 Set the required environmental and the compilation target ①vi dpdk.rc
Writen as fallowing and save: export RTE_SDK=`pwd`
export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc(或i686-default-linuxapp-gcc)
②#source dpdk.rc
2 Build the application
#make install T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc(或i686-default-linuxapp-gcc)
The compiled application will be located at:
$RTE_SDK/$RTE_TARGET/build/app/test-pmd/testpmd
3 Configure hugepages #mkdir /mnt/huge
#mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
#echo 102 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
4 insmod igb_uio.ko
#cd $RTE_SDK/ #modprobe uio
#cd x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc(或i686-default-linuxapp-gcc) #insmod kmod/igb_uio.ko
5 set pci driver
#cd $RTE_SDK/tools
#./pci_unbind.py --bind=igb_uio eth2 #./pci_unbind.py --bind=igb_uio eth3
