-This section demonstrates how to launch ``testpmd`` with QLogic 578xx
-devices managed by ``librte_pmd_bnx2x`` in Linux operating system.
-
-#. Request huge pages:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages/nr_hugepages
-
-#. Load ``igb_uio`` or ``vfio-pci`` driver:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
-
- or
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- modprobe vfio-pci
-
-#. Bind the QLogic adapters to ``igb_uio`` or ``vfio-pci`` loaded in the
- previous step::
-
- ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind igb_uio 0000:84:00.0 0000:84:00.1
-
- or
-
- Setup VFIO permissions for regular users and then bind to ``vfio-pci``:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- sudo chmod a+x /dev/vfio
-
- sudo chmod 0666 /dev/vfio/*
-
- ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind vfio-pci 0000:84:00.0 0000:84:00.1
-
-#. Start ``testpmd`` with basic parameters:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 4 -- -i
