In this tutorial, you will learn how to setup set up and ONOS environment capable of communicating with controlling P4Runtime-enabled Tofino-Based based devices. The following set of instructions have been tested with the EdgeCore Wedge-100BF.

The program will be later deployed through a specific call from ONOSby ONOS using P4Runtime.  Please also note that the skip_p4.conf file will only be installed if the SDE is build built & installed with the p4_examples. Otherwise, this file can be found in the p4_examples tarball in the SDE package with the name tofino_skip_p4.conf.in
