NXP DPAA2 Eventdev Driver
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The dpaa2 eventdev is an implementation of the eventdev API, that provides a
|
|
wide range of the eventdev features. The eventdev relies on a dpaa2 hw to
|
|
perform event scheduling.
|
|
|
|
More information can be found at `NXP Official Website
|
|
<http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/qoriq-arm-processors:QORIQ-ARM>`_.

|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The DPAA2 EVENTDEV implements many features in the eventdev API;
|
|
|
|
- Hardware based event scheduler
|
|
- 8 event ports
|
|
- 8 event queues
|
|
- Parallel flows
|
|
- Atomic flows
|
|
|
|
Supported DPAA2 SoCs
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- LX2160A
|
|
- LS2084A/LS2044A
|
|
- LS2088A/LS2048A
|
|
- LS1088A/LS1048A
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`../platform/dpaa2` for setup information
|
|
|
|
Currently supported by DPDK:
|
|
|
|
- NXP SDK **19.09+**.
|
|
- MC Firmware version **10.18.0** and higher.
|
|
- Supported architectures: **arm64 LE**.
|
|
|
|
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.

|
Initialization
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The dpaa2 eventdev is exposed as a vdev device which consists of a set of dpcon
|
|
devices and dpci devices. On EAL initialization, dpcon and dpci devices will be
|
|
probed and then vdev device can be created from the application code by
|
|
|
|
* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("event_dpaa2")`` from the application
|
|
|
|
* Using ``--vdev="event_dpaa2"`` in the EAL options, which will call
|
|
rte_vdev_init() internally
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
./your_eventdev_application --vdev="event_dpaa2"
|
|
|
|
Enabling logs
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
./your_eventdev_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.event.dpaa2,<level>
|
|
|
|
Using ``eventdev.dpaa2`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs can be
|
|
enabled which are lower than logging ``level``.
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Platform Requirement
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
|
|
``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``.
|
|
|
|
Port-core binding
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
DPAA2 EVENTDEV can support only one eventport per core.
