This patch contains two section. 1. Updates to the existing quick-start.html page giving infomration on the new dpdk-quickstart.py script. 2. The dpdk-quickstart.py script itself.1. The Quick start section contains some instructions for building DPDK and running TestPMD. While this is still useful, automating these steps through a script would provide a much faster and painless way to have DPDK up and running. The new dpdk-quickstart.py aims to address this. 2. This script performs the following: - Gets the latest DPDK release - Gets the necessary dependencies (if needed) - Builds DPDK with the default target - Sets up hugepages - Helps the user to select the ports to use on DPDK - Runs TestPMD, showing packet forwarding between two ports Signed-off-by: Pablo de Lara <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Kirill Rybalchenko <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David Hunt <[email protected]> ---
Just a side note (and i'm being selfish here, because i want reviews!) - usages like this is exactly what i had in mind when i created the Python library RFC [1]. This has a lot of code duplication with the DPDK devbind etc., which could've been avoided if the code has been more modular.
