mTCP for Mellanox Bluefield SmartNIC

[rinku-shah]

Hi,
I have a working DPDK 20.11 version running on the Mellanox Bluefield SmartNIC.
I am unable to install mTCP on the same platform. I guess the platform to choose is "arm64_bluefield_linux_gcc" which is not available in the options.

Is mTCP supported on the Bluefield NIC hardware? If yes, could you please guide me through.

Thanks,
Rinku

It's not supported by anything until you remove dpdk-iface-kmod #305
And even then it's unusable because #306

Hey @vitalif, thanks for your response.
Actually, I got my setup working with some mTCP code changes (mtcp-devel branch) and DPDK-19.11. I required DPDK support for ARM Bluefield architecture which starts from DPDK 19.11 onwards and the current mTCP code has been integrated until DPDK-18. I will soon post the patch here.

hi,I'm also on the same platform as you, too low version of dpdk to work on bluefield.So do you currently have a way to use DPDK 20.11 in MTCP
