h3. configuration hugepages:

* 2M (1024*2k): hugepages=1024 (at runtime: echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages)
* 4G (4x1G): default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4 (only works at boot time via grub)

<pre>
mkdir /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
</pre>

h3. Compile and load modules:

_Note: source tools/setup.sh is a helper tools for this but works only with IGB driver not e1000e_

<pre>
# make T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc
..
Build complete

# modprobe uio (I think this is not useful)
# insmod build/kmod/rte_kni.ko (I think this is not useful)
# insmod build/kmod/igb_uio.ko (I think this is not useful)
# ./tools/pci_unbind.py --status

h3. Prepare examples programs:

<pre>
# export RTE_SDK=/root/sileht/dpdk-1.6.0r1
# export RTE_TARGET=build
# cd /root/sileht/
# cp -r $RTE_SDK/examples/helloworld my_rte_app
# cd my_rte_app
# make
</pre>
