-------------
-This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with Amazon ENA
-devices managed by librte_pmd_ena.
-
-#. Load the kernel modules:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- modprobe uio
- insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
-
- .. note::
-
- Currently Amazon ENA PMD driver depends on igb_uio user space I/O kernel module
-
-#. Mount and request huge pages:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages
- echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
-
-#. Bind UIO driver to ENA device (using provided by DPDK binding tool):
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio 0000:02:00.1
-
-#. Start testpmd with basic parameters:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 4 -- -i
-
- Example output:
-
- .. code-block:: console
