DPDK test application cannot found on redhat

I met a issue with error shows(when deploy dpdk on redhat) :

sudo: x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/test: command not found

I am not sure what is the matter.

Now I cannot test dpdk, could you someone help me if you met this before.

There are some detailed information about my system below.

FYI.

Kernel version

3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64

[root@cnhzdhcp16557 usertools]# ./dpdk-setup.sh

The test application should be build manually with make test... command. What you really want is the testpmd application to work. There are two issues:

  1. EAL: No probed ethernet devices log means there are no NICs available for testpmd. You need to bind your NIC to igb_uio in order to use in with DPDK application.

  2. Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed: Cannot allocate memory log means there are no enough huge pages to allocate mempool. Indeed:

    HugePages_Free: 128 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB

There are 128 pages 2M each, which makes 256M of available memory. While testpmd tries to allocate create a new mbuf pool : n=171456, size=2176 which makes 171456 * 2176 = 373M, so it fails.

The solution would be to either allocate more huge pages or to run testpmd with --total-num-mbufs command line option.
