Driver Compilation
------------------
-To compile a PMD for a platform, run make with appropriate target as shown below.
-Use "make" command in Linux and "gmake" in FreeBSD. This will also build testpmd.
+To compile a PMD for a platform, build DPDK
+as described in the "Getting Started Guide" for your platform.
+This will also build testpmd.
-To check available targets:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- cd <DPDK-source-directory>
- make showconfigs
-
-Example output:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- arm-armv7a-linuxapp-gcc
- arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
- arm64-dpaa2-linuxapp-gcc
- arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc
- arm64-xgene1-linuxapp-gcc
- i686-native-linuxapp-gcc
- i686-native-linuxapp-icc
- ppc_64-power8-linuxapp-gcc
- x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang
- x86_64-native-bsdapp-gcc
- x86_64-native-linuxapp-clang
- x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
- x86_64-native-linuxapp-icc
- x86_x32-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
-To compile a PMD for Linux x86_64 gcc target, run the following "make" command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
-Use ARM (ThunderX, DPAA, X-Gene) or PowerPC target for respective platform.
-
-For more information, refer to the :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>`
-or :ref:`Getting Started Guide for FreeBSD <freebsd_gsg>` depending on your platform.
+Detailed instructions are available
+in the :doc:`meson build guide <../prog_guide/build-sdk-meson>`.
Running testpmd in Linux
------------------------
.. code-block:: console
modprobe uio
- insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
+ insmod igb_uio.ko
or
.. code-block:: console
- ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -i
+ ./<build_dir>/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -i
Successful execution will show initialization messages from EAL, PMD and
testpmd application. A prompt will be displayed at the end for user commands
Refer to the :ref:`testpmd runtime functions <testpmd_runtime>` for a list
of available commands.
+
+ .. note::
+ When ``testpmd`` is built with shared library, use option ``-d`` to load
+ the dynamic PMD for ``rte_eal_init``.
