Ross,
DPDK suite comes with library and sample application that in past release run
out-of-box
to demonstrate the feature. Romley & crystal-forest are communication grade
platform
which is expected to have both DPDK and QAT technology demonstrated.
The challenge is if we don't have the features & examples pre-installed on the
sample image
that is packaged into release tarball, customer have to build them from scratch
to try out
the DPDK examples. Yes, I do agree that it is trivial.
I do agree that customer sample app is still need to be compiled against the
shared library.
So, they will have to rebuild some image again.
I am looping in CID TME to give in their opinion on this subject matter as he
owns the supporting
customer part just to check with him whether it is ok to leave the trivial
change to end-customer who is using
yocto to do that themselves. If I remember correctly, that will require some
documentation update
on their end too.
Thanks for the response anyway, let's do what is right and also convenient for
the user...
I believe that we can reach some agreement here....
Joel & Abhishek,
What is your thought of not having DPDK &QAT technology pre-installed
on the
core-image-sato & core-image-sato-sdk images? Do you think that your customer
will follow
some recommendation documented in manual to add them into their build recipe to
add in
DPDK and DPDK samples?
Do take note that, in the past on the NDA recipe that was released out
in previous
product line, DPDK & QAT are preinstalled onto the core-image-sato binary that
is released
as test image. What is your thought there?
