Hi Marco, I'm a bit surprised you had a lot of issues compiling directly on the board: I don't have a ThunderX board to test, but I just built vpp on a nxp1043, which is an armv8 platform. And just like you, no cross compilation. So, I have 2 suggestions: - try build first with PLATFORM=vpp_lite : with this, we can first check if everything but dpdk is building correctly. FYI, I did not try to build the packages as I'm on a stripped Ubuntu rootfs on this platform - Them switch to VPP, but using an already installed DPDK: within vpp.mk, you have the possibility to override the default values (ie external dpdk)
