Virtio-PMD in Windows

[Ayshathul Thuhara]

Hi Team,
I tried to reach out for Windows based DPDK over users at dpdk.org,admin at dpdk.org and windows developers in DPDK. But I didnot receive any reply from anyone. Can you please direct the mail to the corresponding person-in charge.

I am using Virtio-PMD for my custom design in my Linux OS and is operational both in functional and throughput level. I wanted to know whether the Virtio-PMD (drivers/net/virtio) available in Linux; Is feasible in Windows OS?
What changes to be made to support this? If not supported, could you please elaborate the reason?

In addition linux has pcimem/devmem to access PCI resources, Does Windows has similar application?

In https://core.dpdk.org/roadmap/windows/ link shows, the feature supported, but no example where specified. Could you please let me know the tests/workaround performed with this PMD.

I tried to reachout at dpdkwin at microsoft.com for the same, the mail response shows "Your message to dpdkwin at microsoft.com couldn't be delivered". Is this mail id deprecated?

Thanks and regards,
Ayshathul Thuhara
