OCTEON TX EP Poll Mode driver
|
||
|
|
=============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The OCTEON TX EP ETHDEV PMD (**librte_pmd_octeontx_ep**) provides poll mode
|
||
|
|
ethdev driver support for the virtual functions (VF) of **Marvell OCTEON TX2**
|
||
|
|
and **Cavium OCTEON TX** families of adapters in SR-IOV context.
|
||
|
|

Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver relies on external kernel PF driver for resources allocations
|
||
|
|
and initialization. The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and
|
||
|
|
must be installed separately:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Kernel module**
|
||
|
|
This module, octeon_drv, drives the physical function, initializes hardware,
|
||
|
|
allocates resources such as number of VFs, input/output queues for itself and
|
||
|
|
the number of i/o queues each VF can use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See :doc:`../platform/octeontx2` for SDP interface information which provides PCIe endpoint support for a remote host.
