Subject: [PATCH 1/2] config/arm: Do not require processor
information
DPDK can be built even without exact processor information for x86
and ppc so allow to build for Arm even if we don't know the
targeted processor is
unknown.
Hi Akihiko,
The design idea was to require an explicit generic build.
Default/native build doesn't fall back to generic build when SoC
info is not on the list.
So the user has less chance to generate a suboptimal binary by
accident.
Hi,
It is true that the suboptimal binary can result, but the rationale
here is that we tolerate that for x86 and ppc so it should not
really matter for Arm too. On x86 and ppc you don't need to modify
meson.build just to run dts on a development machine.
What modification do you need for a development machine?
I suppose "meson setup build -Dplatform=generic" will generate a
binary that can run on your development machine.
I didn't describe the situation well. I use DPDK Test Suite for
testing and it determines what flags to be passed to Meson. You need
to modify DPDK's meson.build or DTS to get it built.

Akihiko Odaki
Hi,
Can you have a look at this again?
Thanks for the clarification of your use case.
Changes to DTS are in planning. It will allow the user to choose
the type of the build.
Your use case will be fulfilled then.
Such a feature indeed satisfies my requirement. Thanks in advance,
Akihiko Odaki
