.. note::
The EAL options for FreeBSD are as follows:
-* ``-c COREMASK``:
+* ``-c COREMASK`` or ``-l CORELIST``:
A hexadecimal bit mask of the cores to run on. Note that core numbering
- can change between platforms and should be determined beforehand.
+ can change between platforms and should be determined beforehand. The corelist
+ is a list of cores to use instead of a core mask.
* ``-n NUM``:
Number of memory channels per processor socket.
Memory to allocate from hugepages, regardless of processor socket.
It is recommended that ``--socket-mem`` be used instead of this option.
-The ``-c`` option is mandatory; the others are optional.
+The ``-c`` or ``-l`` option is mandatory; the others are optional.
Copy the DPDK application binary to your target, then run the application
as follows (assuming the platform has four memory channels, and that cores 0-3
are present and are to be used for running the application)::
- ./helloworld -c f -n 4
+ ./helloworld -l 0-3 -n 4
