[dpdk-dev] [Dpdk-ovs] No "pci_unbind.py" in tools subdirectory

[Choi, Sy Jong]

Hi Mr. Kim,

I think DPDK r1.6 from dpdk.org has change certain file naming. I think it is ok to use the igb_uio_bind.py.
Sometime, I would modprobe –r ixgbe to remove some confusion on the binding. And only load igb_uio.ko from DPDK.

Hello.

I'm sorry for the repeated question.

I finally compiled DPDK successfully (there was a problem in the source code what I downloaded), and I'm moving to compile dpdk-ovs.

Before compiling it, I'm trying to binding a network port to igb_uio module. In the dpdk-getting-started-guide, "pci_unbind.py" utility script is used to provide a view of the current state of the network ports on the system, and to bind/unbind those ports from the different kernel modules.

The script, however, was not there in tools directory; There were only "igb_uio_bind.py". Is it fine as it is, or do I miss something?

I downloaded the DPDK source from http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/refs/, and the file was dpdk-1.6.0r2.zip. I compiled both x86-64-defaultlinuxapp-gcc and x86-64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc now.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
