The eventdev relies on a dpaa2 hw to 10perform event scheduling. 11 12More information can be found at `NXP Official Website 13<http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/qoriq-arm-processors:QORIQ-ARM>`_. 14 15Features 16-------- 17 18The DPAA2 EVENTDEV implements many features in the eventdev API; 19 20- Hardware based event scheduler 21- 8 event ports 22- 8 event queues 23- Parallel flows 24- Atomic flows 25 26Supported DPAA2 SoCs 27-------------------- 28 29- LX2160A 30- LS2084A/LS2044A 31- LS2088A/LS2048A 32- LS1088A/LS1048A 33 34Prerequisites 35------------- 36 37See :doc:`../platform/dpaa2` for setup information 38 39- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment. 40 41.. note:: 42 43 Some part of fslmc bus code (mc flib - object library) routines are 44 dual licensed (BSD & GPLv2). 45 46 47Initialization 48-------------- 49 50The dpaa2 eventdev is exposed as a vdev device which consists of a set of dpcon 51devices and dpci devices. On EAL initialization, dpcon and dpci devices will be 52probed and then vdev device can be created from the application code by 53 54* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("event_dpaa2")`` from the application 55 56* Using ``--vdev="event_dpaa2"`` in the EAL options, which will call 57 rte_vdev_init() internally 58 59Example: 60 61.. code-block:: console 62 63 ./your_eventdev_application --vdev="event_dpaa2" 64 65Enabling logs 66------------- 67 68For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter: 69 70.. code-block:: console 71 72 ./your_eventdev_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.event.dpaa2,<level> 73 74Using ``eventdev.dpaa2`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs can be 75enabled which are lower than logging ``level``. 76 77Limitations 78----------- 79 80Platform Requirement 81~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 82 83DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the 84``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``. 85 86Port-core binding 87~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 88 89DPAA2 EVENTDEV can support only one eventport per core. 90
