I consider the ppc build issue a task of IBM to look into, but took the chance to researched the case of the MLX issues a bit.
I found bugs that would address this, but aren't fixed due to people changing at mellanox that were supposed to work on this. To get the MLX drivers working we are blocked on (at least): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libibverbs/+bug/1528799 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmlx4/+bug/1528790 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmlx5/+bug/1528795 There are more like these to update all in sync to each other, but those three in particular block MLX for DPDK. That now being known I'd at least nack to enabling MLX drivers in DPDK for Yakkety. If you can work without MLX PMD DPDK drivers please go further and try to check why testpmd is failing for ppc64el only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539775 Title: Enable ppc64el on dpdk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1539775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
