Hi Team, Do I need to bind the mellanox nic to any driver to use it with dpdk. In case of intel, I am binding the pcie with igb_uio driver.
In case of mellanox nic, if I am binding the mellanox nic to igb_io, I am getting the following error: EAL: Detected 24 lcore(s) EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes EAL: Auto-detected process type: PRIMARY EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/nr_dpdk/mp_socket EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'PA' EAL: VFIO support initialized EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:101d) device: 0000:b5:00.0 (socket 0) mlx5_net: no Verbs device matches PCI device 0000:b5:00.0, are kernel drivers loaded? mlx5_common: Failed to load driver mlx5_eth EAL: Requested device 0000:b5:00.0 cannot be used EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:101d) device: 0000:b5:00.1 (socket 0) mlx5_net: no Verbs device matches PCI device 0000:b5:00.1, are kernel drivers loaded? mlx5_common: Failed to load driver mlx5_eth EAL: Requested device 0000:b5:00.1 cannot be used TELEMETRY: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created No of ports : 0 Calling DPDK-Init for PDCP But when I do not bind the mellanox nic to any driver, it is working fine. Please let me know if my approach is correct. Thanks, Animesh Tripathi
