i am using mellanox MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3], trying to install DPDK and run KNI sample app. I am following this guide https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/quick_start.html, everything is good, i successfully installed DPDK and hello world app ran. i loaded KNI module, bind my ethernet card with igb_uio and compiled KNI also, without any error but when i am tring to run KNI sample app with following command -
{RTE_SDK}/examples/kni/build/kni -c 0x0f -n 4 – -P -p 0x3 --config=“(0,0,1),(1,2,3)”
i got error saying unsupported ethernet card, i have been checking different different websites and blogs & am i am confuse about connect X3 card. At some blogs/tutorials it is saying that DPDK PMD that is a prerequisite for KNI, supports on connects X3 Pro & above like http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=209&mtag=pmd_for_dpdk , some says it is supported on connect x3 & above like DPDK
My requirement is KNI, it’s have been searching this for last two weeks, Need some guidance from community. I will be very grateful to you.
