Hi Luca,
mlx5 DPDK driver depends on mellanox OFED library which is according
to my understanding closed source.
If all that all that was required for the PMD was that it be linked with
the libibverb with the Mellanox special sauce. I think Mellanox may have
a version of that library in open source. If this is the case, we could
probably patch to use this library at least in the RPM case if it
doesn't break anything. However, it may be a problem for downstream distros.
How do you deal with such cases?
Thanks,
Damjan

Hi,
We can certainly give it a shot, if it builds without problems I don't
see an issue to enable it in the deb packaging.
Kind regards,

Looping in deb_dpdk and rpm_dpdk who are packaging DPDK for
downstream Linux distros, to make sure they are also aware of
your interest in that driver.

Hello,
Currently working on leveraging MLX5 drivers in VPP
which requires activating the PMD at DPDK compilation?
Is it something that can be done through the VPP build
process (e.g. tweaking with DPDK .config file)?
Making it part of the default binary package?
Thanks,
