[dpdk-users] issues with dpdk-pdump

[Srinivas Kotamarti]

Hello,

I want to use dpdk-pdump for packet capture. As explained in the http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/tools/pdump.html http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/pdump_lib.html I have compiled the DPDK with CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP=y and  modified my application to initialize the pdump PMD by calling the rte_pdump_init()

I am invoking the dpdk-pdump as follows

/opt/thoroughbred/dpdk/tools/dpdk-pdump --  --pdump 'port=0, queue=*, rx-dev=/boot/partitions/storage/tosfp-pt-dpdk-untrack-fail-00rxtx.01none.02none.03none.pcapng, tx-dev=/boot/partitions/storage/tosfp-pt-dpdk-untrack-fail-00rxtx.01none.02none.03none.pcapng' &

It crashes with the following trace

EAL: Detected 7 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes
PANIC in rte_eal_config_attach():

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
