~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, HPET support is disabled in the DPDK build configuration files.
-To use HPET, the ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBEAL_USE_HPET`` setting should be changed to ``y``, which will enable the HPET settings at compile time.
+To use HPET, use the following meson build option which will enable the HPET settings at compile time::
+
+ meson configure -Duse_hpet=true
For an application to use the ``rte_get_hpet_cycles()`` and ``rte_get_hpet_hz()`` API calls,
and optionally to make the HPET the default time source for the rte_timer library,
----------------------------------
To run the DPDK Kernel NIC Interface (KNI) sample application, an extra kernel module (the kni module) must be loaded into the running kernel.
-The module is found in the kmod sub-directory of the DPDK target directory.
-Similar to the loading of the ``igb_uio`` module, this module should be loaded using the insmod command as shown below
-(assuming that the current directory is the DPDK target directory):
-
-.. code-block:: console
+The module is found in the kernel/linux sub-directory of the DPDK build directory.
+It should be loaded using the insmod command::
- insmod kmod/rte_kni.ko
+ insmod <build_dir>/kernel/linux/kni/rte_kni.ko
