ENETC Poll Mode Driver
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
The ENETC NIC PMD (**librte_pmd_enetc**) provides poll mode driver
|
||||
support for the inbuilt NIC found in the **NXP LS1028** SoC.
|
||||
|
||||
More information can be found at `NXP Official Website
|
||||

This section provides an overview of the NXP ENETC
|
||||
and how it is integrated into the DPDK.

ENETC Overview
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
ENETC is a PCI Integrated End Point(IEP). IEP implements
|
||||
peripheral devices in an SoC such that software sees them as PCIe device.
|
||||
ENETC is an evolution of BDR(Buffer Descriptor Ring) based networking
|
||||
IPs.
|
||||
|
||||
This infrastructure simplifies adding support for IEP and facilitates in following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Device discovery and location
|
||||
- Resource requirement discovery and allocation (e.g. interrupt assignment,
|
||||
device register address)
|
||||
- Event reporting
|
||||
|
||||
ENETC Features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
- Link Status
|
||||
- Packet type information
|
||||
|
||||
NIC Driver (PMD)
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
ENETC PMD is traditional DPDK PMD which provides necessary interface between
|
||||
RTE framework and ENETC internal drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
- Driver registers the device vendor table in PCI subsystem.
|
||||
- RTE framework scans the PCI bus for connected devices.
|
||||
- This scanning will invoke the probe function of ENETC driver.
|
||||
- The probe function will set the basic device registers and also setups BD rings.
|
||||
- On packet Rx the respective BD Ring status bit is set which is then used for
|
||||
packet processing.
|
||||
- Then Tx is done first followed by Rx.

Supported ENETC SoCs

- LS1028
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
There are three main pre-requisities for executing ENETC PMD on a ENETC
|
||||
compatible board:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **ARM 64 Tool Chain**
|
||||
|
||||
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>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Linux Kernel**
|
||||
|
||||
It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/linux>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Rootfile system**
|
||||
|
||||
Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
|
||||
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) or 18.04 (Bionic) userland which can be obtained
|
||||
from `here <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-base-18.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed
|
||||
separately:
|
||||
|
||||
- **NXP Linux LSDK**
|
||||
|
||||
NXP Layerscape software development kit (LSDK) includes support for family
|
||||
of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors
|
||||
and corresponding boards.
|
||||
|
||||
It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs,
|
||||
a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules.
|
||||
|
||||
LSDK and related information can be obtained from: `LSDK <https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/linux-software-and-development-tools/layerscape-software-development-kit:LAYERSCAPE-SDK>`_
|
||||
|
||||
Driver compilation and testing
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Follow instructions available in the document
|
||||
:ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
|
||||
to launch **testpmd**
|
||||
|
||||
To compile in performance mode, please set ``CONFIG_RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE=64``
