55 The OCTEON TX fpavf mempool initialization similar to other mempool
56 drivers like ring. However user need to pass --base-virtaddr as
57 command line input to application example test_mempool.c application.
61 .. code-block:: console
63 ./<build_dir>/app/test/dpdk-test -c 0xf --base-virtaddr=0x100000000000 \
