[dpdk-users] issues with dpdk-pdump

[Rami Rosen]

Hi Srinivas,
Can you do a simple test to make sure your setup is ok ?
The suggested test is: instead od running you app, simply do the following:
First, bind a port to DPDK.
Then, run testpmd app (build/app/testpmd; as testpmd calls
rte_pdump_init() if RTE_LIBRTE_PDUMP is defined).
Then run again the dpdk-pdump, and post the result.
For me this works with dpdk-18.08, I am aware that you are using an
older version, but it should work also for you I believe.
Please note that I had to remove the while spaces in the command, but
anyhow these whitespaces did not
cause the error about rte_eal_config_attach() you had, but a parsing
error; after I removed these whitespaces, everything
was fine, no errors; what I actually ran is;
./build/app/dpdk-pdump --  --pdump
'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/work/rc.pcapng,tx-dev=/work/tc.pcapng'

and the log shows:
