Enabling forward traffic on switch ports from DPSW (DPAA2) without running OS

[rgallais]

Dear Community,

From my trials, it seems that applying DPL from U-Boot is not enough to enable the DPSW and enable forwarding traffic on switch ports from DPSW and I needed to run the following command "ip link set eth<N> master <brX>" (under Linux) to do it.

Is there a way to enable forward traffic on switch ports from DPSW (DPAA2) without running OS ?

It would be great to do so from DPL configuration but I haven't found how to do it from LSDK UG document.

Regards,

Thank you for your inputs ! I succeeded to deploy the DPSW with forward traffic enabled under U-Boot without running Linux.
