[dpdk-dev] Compiling MLX4 Support into 2.1.0

[Olga Shern]

Nathan,

What application are you running?
Please send the output of it.
Please send output of ofed_info  -s, ibdev2netdev and ibv_devinfo. Do you see any errors in dmesg?

Regards,
Olga

Thank you for the response,

I followed all of the documentation before I came to the forum on this
one.  OFED is installed and working correctly with all drivers loaded.  I
get to the point of compiling dpdk with support enabled and nothing appears
to come out during the compile (for mlx4 which is included in the
.config).  My interfaces are not being seen by the PMD though I am aware it
works differently than the base supported adapters.

Thanks,
Nathan
