[meta-intel] DPDK for Grangeville platform

[Thomas, GabrielX]

Hello Anuj,

The customer has sent the following information:

Yes, I added those lines. .config in my build directory has:

CONFIG_IXGBE=m
CONFIG_IXGBE_HWMON=y
CONFIG_IXGBE_DCA=y
CONFIG_IXGBE_DCB=y
CONFIG_IXGBEVF=m
CONFIG_I40E=m
CONFIG_I40E_DCB=y
CONFIG_I40EVF=m

The ixgbe.ko is built, but when I load the image it is not under ib/modules/4.9.99-intel-pk-standard.

When I copy manually and try to insmod, I get the following errors:

[  722.934646] ixgbe: Unknown symbol mdio_mii_ioctl (err 0)
[  722.940697] ixgbe: Unknown symbol mdio45_probe (err 0)
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module ixgbe.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Wondering what I could be missing.


Regards;
Gabriel Thomas

We should also be able to achieve the same thing by having:
KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " features/ixgbe/ixgbe.scc"

in local.conf or kernel recipe.
