Re: [meta-intel] [PATCHv2 2/2] meta-romley: add Intel DPDK v1.6.0r2 support Romley machine config

2014-07-11 Thread Chan, Wei Sern
Hi Ross,
The reason I placed it as default build for Romley as it can support our 
customer better. 

There are 2 reason we decided to make default package for Romley:-
1. Some of Intel CID's customer which they are not experienced Yocto Project 
they can simply build the image from there by bitbake core-image-sato.
2. For next major release meta-intel, dpdk will be part of the core-image-sato 
for Romley bsp and customer can benefit from it directly without having thru to 
configure too much on their local.conf

Thanks.
Regards,
Wei Sern.

 As far as I'm aware DPDK on it's own doesn't serve any purpose - it's a
 development kit/library and you need to build *something* against it to get
 the increased network performance for that application.
 
 If this is the case then it shouldn't be installed by default in every romley
 image.

[meta-intel] [PATCHv2 2/2] meta-romley: add Intel DPDK v1.6.0r2 support Romley machine config

2014-07-10 Thread wei . sern . chan
From: Chan Wei Sern wei.sern.c...@intel.com

Added MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS to include dpdk for romley machine
configuration so that building on Romley will automatically pick up
Intel DPDK. This is an initial version of Intel DPDK support in Romley
that is default target version 1.6.0r2.
