4NXP DPAA2 CMDIF Driver
5======================
6
7The DPAA2 CMDIF is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provides
8communication between the GPP and AIOP (Firmware). This is achieved
9via using the DPCI devices exposed by MC for GPP <--> AIOP interaction.

14Features
15--------
16
17The DPAA2 CMDIF implements following features in the rawdev API;
18
19- Getting the object ID of the device (DPCI) using attributes
20- I/O to and from the AIOP device using DPCI

29Prerequisites
30-------------
31
32See :doc:`../platform/dpaa2` for setup information
33
34Currently supported by DPDK:
35
36- NXP SDK **19.09+**.
37- MC Firmware version **10.18.0** and higher.
38- Supported architectures:  **arm64 LE**.
39
40- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.

48Enabling logs
49-------------
50
51For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
52
53.. code-block:: console
54
55   ./your_cmdif_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.raw.dpaa2.cmdif,<level>
56
57Using ``pmd.raw.dpaa2.cmdif`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs can be
58enabled which are lower than logging ``level``.
59
60
61Initialization
62--------------
63
64The DPAA2 CMDIF is exposed as a vdev device which consists of dpci devices.
65On EAL initialization, dpci devices will be probed and then vdev device
66can be created from the application code by
67
68* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("dpaa2_dpci")`` from the application
69
70* Using ``--vdev="dpaa2_dpci"`` in the EAL options, which will call
71  rte_vdev_init() internally
72
73Example:
74
75.. code-block:: console
76
77    ./your_cmdif_application <EAL args> --vdev="dpaa2_dpci"

79Platform Requirement
80~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
81
82DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
83``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``.
