Re: [dpdk-users] Compile DPDK 17.11 with Mellanox NIC support

[Raslan Darawsheh]

Hi,

I believe you are missing the --upstream-libs from OFED installation:

Try it as following:
./mlnxofedinstall --skip-distro-check --dpdk --add-kernel-support 
--upstream-libs /etc/init.d/openibd restart 

Then rebuild your DPDK.

Kindest regards,
Raslan Darawsheh

Hi,
I met the same problem.  My DPDK build environment is "CentOS7.0 + kernel 
3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64".
I have download the OFED 4.2 and use the following command to install:
./mlnxofedinstall --skip-distro-check --dpdk --add-kernel-support 
/etc/init.d/openibd restart However, I still met error while I am compiling 
DPDK-17.11. The error information is :

In file included from /home/wangyong/dpdk-17.11/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c:71:0:

I checked the "/usr/include/infiniband" directory and I couldn't find the 
mlx4dv.h file.
Are there any other configurations or steps required? Or the kernel version of 
linux can't be 3.10 ?

Thanks for the prompt reply and guidance!
My OFED version was 4.1, that's why I was unable to build DPDK 17.11.
With OFED 4.2 everything works on my kernel (v4.4)!

I have one more question: What is the suggested OFED version in order to have a 
fully featured NIC with all the DPDK classification/offloading capabilities?
My NICs are 100G ConnectX-4 (dual and single port).

Best regards,
Georgios

Hi Hui,

Yes it works after updating to OFED 4.2. I have a physical 100G NIC that
uses mlnx5.

The one referenced in the documentation, you can still download and
install the latest GA from Mellanox website [1] (the link is also in the
documentation).
You can also take a look at features documentation page [2] on DPDK
documentation, those set to 'Y' are supported by the MLNX_OFED version
and (almost) by RDMA-Core.

You should find anything useful in the NIC documentation [1], you have
two possibilities, keep using the distribution and install MLNX_OFED
4.2, or update the Linux Kernel and use RDMA-Core, both are explained in
he section "21.5.1. Installation".
