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.
10
11More information can be found at `NXP Official Website

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
21
22Supported DPAA2 SoCs
23--------------------
24
25- LS2084A/LS2044A
26- LS2088A/LS2048A
27- LS1088A/LS1048A

29Prerequisites
30-------------
31
32See :doc:`../platform/dpaa2` for setup information
33
34Currently supported by DPDK:
35
36- NXP SDK **18.09+**.
37- MC Firmware version **10.10.0** 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.

47Pre-Installation Configuration
48------------------------------
49
50Config File Options
51~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
52
53The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
54
55- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_DPAA2_CMDIF_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
56
57  Toggle compilation of the ``lrte_pmd_dpaa2_cmdif`` driver.
58
59Enabling logs
60-------------
61
62For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
63
64.. code-block:: console
65
66   ./your_cmdif_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.raw.dpaa2.cmdif,<level>
67
68Using ``pmd.raw.dpaa2.cmdif`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs can be
69enabled which are lower than logging ``level``.
70
71Driver Compilation
72~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
73
74To compile the DPAA2 CMDIF PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
75following ``make`` command:
76
77.. code-block:: console
78
79   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
80   make config T=arm64-dpaa2-linuxapp-gcc install
81
82Initialization
83--------------
84
85The DPAA2 CMDIF is exposed as a vdev device which consists of dpci devices.
86On EAL initialization, dpci devices will be probed and then vdev device
87can be created from the application code by
88
89* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("dpaa2_dpci")`` from the application
90
91* Using ``--vdev="dpaa2_dpci"`` in the EAL options, which will call
92  rte_vdev_init() internally
93
94Example:
95
96.. code-block:: console
97
98    ./your_cmdif_application <EAL args> --vdev="dpaa2_dpci"
99
100Platform Requirement
101~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
102
103DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
104``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``.
