Running trex on arm64

[katre]

Hi 
Does trex support arm64 architecture?

I was able to compile the sources  but couldn't run the application due to multiple issues  
  1. dpdk_setup_ports.py crashes while saving config to a file .

         File "./dpdk_setup_ports.py", line 220, in create_config

    lcores_pool[numa]['all'] = lcores_pool[numa]['all'][lcores_per_dual_if:]

         KeyError: 0

  2.  sudo ./t-rex-64 --cfg /etc/trex_cfg.yaml  -i  

    from . import (constants, error, message, context,\nImportError: cannot import name \'constants\'\n'  (Compiled zmq separately and copied to pyzmq-14.5.0/python2/arm/ucs4/64bit/zmq but error remains same)

any inputs are appreciated.

Hi Hanoh, 

Seems V2.40 (http://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/release/v2.40.tar.gz) binaries are pre-compiled for X86 arch. Is there a way to get the same for aarch64?

warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:......

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory.

I followed below steps to compile manually for aarch64 

git clone https://github.com/cisco-system-traffic-generator/trex-core.wiki.git
cd linux_dpdk

./b configure

./b build

Thanks

Hi, 

You are right, you should build it from scratch see the wiki how (our package is for x86).

We are not testing arm so it might not work. 

thanks,

Hanoh
