Extract sources
tar xf dpdk.tar.gz
cd dpdk
Build libraries, drivers and test applications.
meson build
ninja -C build
To include the examples as part of the build, replace the meson command with:
meson -Dexamples=all build
Reserve huge pages memory.
mkdir -p /dev/hugepages
mountpoint -q /dev/hugepages || mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /dev/hugepages
echo 64 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
Run poll-mode driver test (with a cable between ports).
