DPDK run testpmd failed. EAL:no probed ethernet device - dpdk

I'm new to dpdk and using dpdk-stable-17.11.2 on docker.
OS is Ubuntu 14.04 and the kernel is 3.19.0-80-generic.
I've followed the dpdk-setup.sh as below and bind the igb_uio driver to my device.

EAL: No probed ethernet devices
BCM57810 seems to be unsupported by the current version of Broadcom PMD:
https://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/bnxt.html
As a workaround you can try to use a supported NIC instead (if possible) or a virtual device (might be much slower).
PANIC in main():
Empty set of forwarding logical cores - check the core mask supplied in the command parameters
You did not list the your command line options, but you definitely should check it for a lcore mask or core list or core map. Here is the list of EAL command line options:

DPDK application l2fwd is just doing the right thing, not identifying the NIC you have shared. There is nothing wrong with the behaviour as this is the expected behaviour. Reason for the same is shared below as
The nic RTL-8100 is Realtek Semiconductor RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Following DPDK device enter link description here does not list the support for Realtek NIC
One can check nic vs features to go through the various PF and VF PMD, realtek driver is absent.
Also checking the online driver net PMD realtek driver is not supported.
Hence the only way to use the Realtek nic dpdk is to
bind the nic back to the kernel
use either PCAP PMD to access the device into DPDK
or use AF_XDP (if RTL supports the same), you can use AF_PACKET PMD.
Note: please at least read up on documentation or hw list from dpdk.org to understand the library and supported PMD.

Unable to use paravirtualized port created from vhost-user-client after dpdk-devbind

Some context first:
I installed and configured OVS-DPDK on VM0 [ubuntu + qemu/kvm + ovs-dpdk]. As a guest running on top of VM0 I have VM1 [ubuntu + dpdk].
After a bit of googling I was able to create vhost-user-client port in OVS and consume it with VM1.
At this point I can see the product of vhost-user-client port by running:
$ sudo dpdk-devbind.py --status

How can I debug this issue
As hinted in the comments, DPDK ports will work with uio_pci_generic | vfio-pci | igb_uio. Hence for a virtio network device to be used with DPDK it needs binding with vfio-pci.
Please follow the steps as
ifconfig enp7s0 down
sudo modprobe uio
sudo modprobe vfio-pci (for newer kernel this can be skipped)
sudo echo 1 > /sys/module/vfio/parameters/enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode
sudo dpdk-devbind.py --bind=vfio-pci 0000:07:00.0
One done successfully dpdk application with virtio net can be used.
Note: as mentioned in the comments, it is not clear why virtio net device 0000:07:00.0 is bind with virtio-pci

testpmd: No probed ethernet devices message

I am trying to use DPDK 19.11 in centOS 8.0. I have compiled DPDK as per guidelines. Then I did bind ethernet NIC to DPDK driver and left Wifi to Linux kernel using dpdk_setup.sh.

I did refer the following question
DPDK run testpmd failed. EAL:no probed ethernet device.
2.If I put wifi interface also to DPDK driver whether testpmd will forward packets between two DPDK ports?
We bring down NIC interface so that it can be bounded to DPDK driver. Do we need to bring it up once it's attached with DPDK using any command?
Any inputs on how do I resolve it?
The expectation of Having RTL and Wifi are incorrect. List of supported DPDK ports.

Have I missed something? Please give me some information to understand this issue.
I found that I can run dpdk-pdump with ixgbe driver.
After comparing bnx2x_ethdev.c and ixgbe_ethdev.c, I found that bnx2x doesn't support multi-process:
https://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/overview.html
Since dpdk-pdump runs as a secondary process, it seems that it is not able to run with bnx2x.

While using DPDK application, rte_eth_dev_count is returning 0 always

Can someone help me in configuring ports if port configuration is wrong or something else.
The above error was coming because the below driver are not supported:-
0000:81:00.0 'NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express' drv=igb_uio unused=tg3
So Binding DPDK with supported driver solved the problem.
The dpdk-devbind.py tool might be a bit misleading here. Not all of the devices using DPDK-compatible driver is in fact supported by DPDK.
Here is the list of supported Broadcom NICs in DPDK:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/bnxt.html
Looks like the BCM5722 is not there.
On the other hand, it looks like you have four other NICs, which are supported by the DPDK:
EAL: PCI device 0000:02:00.0 on NUMA socket 0
EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb net_ixgbe
EAL: PCI device 0000:02:00.1 on NUMA socket 0
EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb net_ixgbe
EAL: PCI device 0000:04:00.0 on NUMA socket 0
EAL: probe driver: 8086:1521 net_e1000_igb
EAL: PCI device 0000:04:00.3 on NUMA socket 0
EAL: probe driver: 8086:1521 net_e1000_igb
So you need to bind one of those to igb_uio and try to run the example again.
