Hoi folks, I got my hands on a 16 core ARM board, which has a SoC from NXP LX2160A, which exposes 4x25/1x100 + 4x10 interfaces - https://www.solid-run.com/embedded-networking/nxp-lx2160a-family/clearfog-cx-lx2160-carrier/
The documentation mentions that DPDK is supported using librte_net_dpaa2 for this board; I thought I'd give VPP a go, and after compiling it (at HEAD), it doesn't want to interact with the NICs. I was wondering if any of the ARM minded folks on this list have experience with Clearfog CX LX2 (the NXP LX2160A and its DPAA2 pollmode driver), what I find curious is that lspci doesn't show any of the NICs, so even after exposing them in Linux (ls-addni dpmac.7 .. dpmac.10), there's not a lot for DPDK to pick up, and the EAL args are empty: DBGvpp# show dpdk version DPDK Version: DPDK 22.07.0 DPDK EAL init args: --in-memory --no-telemetry --file-prefix vpp It would be pretty neat to leverage this hardware with VPP as a cheap 8x10 / 4x25+4x10 / 1x100+4x10 router, and I'd love to see what the ARM cpus are capable of switching. Any help with this would be appreciated. groet, Pim -- Pim van Pelt <p...@ipng.nl> PBVP1-RIPE - http://www.ipng.nl/
