[dpdk-users] [dpdk-stable] librte_pmd_bnxt library backporting from 17.11 to 16.11

[Raman, Sandeep]

Ajith, Ferruh,

The device is BRCM 631 NIC. Let me get details about the failure.
16.11.3 is what I have compiled and the NIC bind did not work.

Thanks,
Sandeep.

Hi,

With 17.11 DPDK, Broadcom NIC binds successfully. However with 16.11 it fails.
Is there a way to backport the bnxt library from 17.11 to 16.11?

Any other ways to get this to work with 16.11.

Can Long term stable tree works for you (DPDK 16.11.3) [1], not sure how much of
the bnxt driver back-ported though.

And providing more details abut the failure may be helpful too.
