Build
~~~~~
-Follow the *Getting Started Guide for Linux* on generic info about
-environment setup and building DPDK from source.
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-In this example, you need build DPDK both on the host and inside guest.
-Also, you need build this example.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/dpdk_source
- export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vhost
- make
+The application is located in the ``vhost`` sub-directory.
+.. note::
+ In this example, you need build DPDK both on the host and inside guest.
Start the vswitch example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
modprobe uio_pci_generic
- $RTE_SDK/usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:04.0
+ $RTE_SDK/usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b uio_pci_generic 0000:00:04.0
Then start testpmd for packet forwarding testing.
