Prerequisites
-------------
- Identifying your adapter using `Intel Support
<http://www.intel.com/support>`_ and get the latest NVM/FW images.
- The E810 is currently in sampling state only. To obtain early samples and/or get further information
about kernel drivers, firmware and DDP support, please speak to your Intel representative.
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
- To get better performance on Intel platforms, please follow the "How to get best performance with NICs on Intel platforms"
section of the :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>`.
Recommended Matching List

It is highly recommended to upgrade the ice kernel driver and firmware and
DDP packages to avoid the compatibility issues with ice PMD. Here is the
suggested matching list.
