6 Installing DPDK from the Ports Collection
7 =========================================
9 The easiest way to get up and running with the DPDK on FreeBSD is to
10 install it using the FreeBSD `pkg` utility or from the ports collection.
11 Details of installing applications from packages or the ports collection are documented in the
12 `FreeBSD Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html>`_,
13 chapter `Installing Applications: Packages and Ports <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html>`_.
17 Please ensure that the latest patches are applied to third party libraries
18 and software to avoid any known vulnerabilities.
21 Installing the DPDK Package for FreeBSD
22 ---------------------------------------
24 DPDK can be installed on FreeBSD using the command::
28 After the installation of the DPDK package, instructions will be printed on
29 how to install the kernel modules required to use the DPDK. A more
30 complete version of these instructions can be found in the sections
31 :ref:`loading_contigmem` and :ref:`loading_nic_uio`. Normally, lines like
32 those below would be added to the file ``/boot/loader.conf``.
36 # Reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver:
37 hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
38 hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
41 # Identify NIC devices for DPDK apps to use and load nic_uio driver:
42 hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:0,2:0:1"
46 Installing the DPDK FreeBSD Port
47 --------------------------------
49 If so desired, the user can install DPDK using the ports collection rather than from
50 a pre-compiled binary package.
51 On a system with the ports collection installed in ``/usr/ports``, the DPDK
52 can be installed using the commands::
54 cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
59 Compiling and Running the Example Applications
60 ----------------------------------------------
62 When the DPDK has been installed from the ports collection it installs
63 its example applications in ``/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples``.
64 These examples can be compiled and run as described in :ref:`compiling_sample_apps`.
68 DPDK example applications must be complied using `gmake` rather than
69 BSD `make`. To detect the installed DPDK libraries, `pkg-config` should
70 also be installed on the system.
74 To install a copy of the DPDK compiled using gcc, please download the
75 official DPDK package from https://core.dpdk.org/download/ and install manually using
76 the instructions given in the next chapter, :ref:`building_from_source`
78 An example application can therefore be copied to a user's home directory and
79 compiled and run as below, where we have 2 memory blocks of size 1G reserved
80 via the contigmem module, and 4 NIC ports bound to the nic_uio module::
82 cp -r /usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/helloworld .

118 To run a DPDK process as a non-root user, adjust the permissions on
119 the ``/dev/contigmem`` and ``/dev/uio device`` nodes as described in section
120 :ref:`running_non_root`
124 For an explanation of the command-line parameters that can be passed to an
125 DPDK application, see section :ref:`running_sample_app`.
