SONiC-VPP

[Alkama Hasan]

Hi team,
is there any documentation/steps to have sonic-vpp for a specific vendor.?

or what changes needed to run sonic-vpp on any vendor specific chip?

as i can see there is some config_syncd inside syncd_init_common.sh in the sonic-vpp github repos

where vendor specific things mentioned.

Hi Alkama,

   There is no vendor specific code in sonic-vpp. Currently sonic-vpp platform is developed/tested/verified on 

commodity servers with processors supporting amd64 architecture.(basically x86_64). What you see in syncd_ini_common.sh is

sonic-vpp platform specific code changes. Sonic-vpp has not been tested on ARM servers.

sonic-vpp is not meant to run on switch hardware for sure.

Thanks

Alkama,

   Not sure I have seen this issue before. Please check if you need to use a http proxy to reach internet, if so specify

the proxy too in the build command as instructed in the README.md. If that does not help, try building by doing

 a reset " make reset" and "make sonic".

Thanks
