[dpdk-users] Get SFP module EEPROM from dpdk

Hi,

I'm trying to get the EEPROM info from the SFP+ plugged into my intel
82599.

I've looked at the ethtool example application, however that appears to
only work when the port is owned by linux. In my application the port
belongs to dpdk.

I tried this command: rte_eth_dev_get_eeprom

This contains 16k bytes, and none of it looks like the module EEPROM . I
think this is the controller's EEPROM.

Is it possible to access the module EEPROM whilst the port is under dpdk?

Thanks,

Matthew
