Hello,
We managed to compile OpenVSwitch to a Blackberry QNX. Idea is to use complete user-space switching in OvS (like it is done for NetBSD, QNX netstack is based on it ). In order for compilation to pass, compile flag __NetBSD__ was needed to be added and some small changes in code :
- replace #include <sys/types.h> with #include <sys/types_bsd.h>
- replace #include <timeval.h> with #include <sys/times.h>
By following instructions from https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/userspace/ we get next error in ovs-vswitchd.log and no bridge device was created.

When trying to turn on device:

But, it is added in the ovs-db.

Bridge br0

Port br0
Interface br0
type: internal
ovs_version: "2.15.90"

Did you maybe test user-space switching on NetBsd (at least I didn't manage to find)?
Did you try to port it on QNX?
Do we need to implement dpif-provider/netdev-provider for QNX in order for OvS to work, or can we reuse existing NetBSD?
If you have any information or hint, I would appreciate if you can share it with us.
Thanks in Advance,
