[meta-intel] DPDK for Grangeville platform

[Thomas, GabrielX]

Hello, Anuj,

The customer decided to move from Krogoth to rocko (instead of the cutting edge sumo). Built per: https://www.yoctoproject.org/software-overview/layers/bsps/rocko-24-camelback-mountain-broadwell-de/

Currently able to run. But, there are no kernel modules (like igb, ixgbe).

Is there something missing?


Regards,

Gabriel Thomas

krogoth is no longer supported or maintained. Please consider using sumo branch instead.

This BSP was merged to be a part of common BSP in latest branches. You can use the common 'intel-corei7-64' BSP.
