48Steps To Setup Platform
49-----------------------
50
51There are four main pre-requisites for executing DPAA2 PMD on a DPAA2
52compatible board:
53
54#. **ARM 64 Tool Chain**
55
56   For example, the `*aarch64* Linaro Toolchain <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-i686_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz>`_.
57
58#. **Linux Kernel**
59
60   It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/linux>`_.
61
62#. **Rootfile system**
63
64   Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
65   Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) or 18.04 (Bionic) userland which can be obtained
66   from `here
67   <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-base-18.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
68
69#. **Resource Scripts**
70
71   DPAA2 based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts
72   as provided in the DPDK Extra repository.
73
74#. **Build Config**
75
76   Use dpaa build configs, they work for both DPAA2 and DPAA platforms.
77
78As an alternative method, DPAA2 PMD can also be executed using images provided
79as part of SDK from NXP. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary
80to bring up a DPAA2 board.
81
82The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed
83separately:
84
85- **NXP Linux SDK**
86
87  NXP Linux software development kit (SDK) includes support for family
88  of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors
89  and corresponding boards.
90
91  It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs,
92  a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules.
93
94  SDK and related information can be obtained from:  `NXP QorIQ SDK  <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_.
95
96
97.. _extra_scripts:
98
99- **DPDK Extra Scripts**
100
101  DPAA2 based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts
102  as provided in the DPDK Extra repository.
103
104  `DPDK Extras Scripts <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/dpdk-extras>`_.
105
106Currently supported by DPDK:
107
108- NXP SDK **LSDK 21.08++**.
109- MC Firmware version **10.37.0** and higher.
110- Supported architectures:  **arm64 LE**.
111
112- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>`
113  to setup the basic DPDK environment.
