xran has a mechanism to request DPDK to allocate a configurable amount
of bytes for huge pages. We set it to 0 until now; expose this variable
through configuration, and provide a meaningful default 8192 MiB.
Provide documentation.
The correct order for xran seems to be first Uplane, then C plane. In
the past, we used to switch (for reasons I don't know), but let's
reverse it to the proper order.
- Update the configuration for benetel 650 and 550 for new firmware version
- Remove the old firmware configuration file and description in the document
- Add a new RU configuration section
- Add How to get support from the OAI Community to clarify the support procedure.
system_core is the core reserved for DPDK control threads. It was
hardcoded to 0, but it seems that one some systems, CPU 0 cannot be
reasonably isolated from kernel threads. Make it therefore configurable
(default: 0)
Closes: #732 (suggestion 1)
