DPDK support for on system bus connected embedded MAC

DPDK support for on system bus connected embedded MAC

[Venkat Karthik K]

Hello,

I am planning to develop Poll Mode Driver for new embedded MAC which is
connected on system bus .I am looking into available poll mode drivers
support for different Network cards  in DPDK 16.07 package but all of them
are connected and managed by PCI bus.

Is there DPDK support for embedded Ethernet/MAC  which is connected  on
system bus , please point me support which will help a lot for my
development .


Thanks,
 Karthik

Could you please provide more details about what you are working on?

Yes, DPDK was historically PCI-centric.
The release 16.11 will see a good rework of the device management and
it could hopefully be possible to implement PMDs for other buses.

The patchset has very low number of reviews. If you have any specific
requirements or ideas how to improve it you are welcome to comment. I'll
try to rebase it on the latest HEAD as soon as I find some time (I hope
in few days).

I also have some non-public patches for VFIO and UIO support which
I would like to include.

Regards
Jan
