==========================================
|
|
|
|
The OCTEON TX ZIP PMD (**librte_pmd_octeontx_zip**) provides poll mode
|
|
compression & decompression driver for ZIP HW offload device, found in
|
|
**Cavium OCTEON TX** SoC family.
|
|
|
|
More information can be found at `Cavium, Inc Official Website

Steps To Setup Platform
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
OCTEON TX SDK includes kernel image which provides OCTEON TX ZIP PF
|
|
driver to manage configuration of ZIPVF device
|
|
Required version of SDK is "OCTEONTX-SDK-6.2.0-build35" or above.
|
|
|
|
SDK can be install by using below command.
|
|
#rpm -ivh OCTEONTX-SDK-6.2.0-build35.x86_64.rpm --force --nodeps
|
|
It will install OCTEONTX-SDK at following default location
|
|
/usr/local/Cavium_Networks/OCTEONTX-SDK/
|
|
|
|
For more information on building and booting linux kernel on OCTEON TX
|
|
please refer /usr/local/Cavium_Networks/OCTEONTX-SDK/docs/OcteonTX-SDK-UG_6.2.0.pdf.
|
|
|
|
SDK and related information can be obtained from: `Cavium support site <https://support.cavium.com/>`_.

Initialization
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The OCTEON TX zip is exposed as pci device which consists of a set of
|
|
PCIe VF devices. On EAL initialization, ZIP PCIe VF devices will be
|
|
probed. To use the PMD in an application, user must:
|
|
|
|
* run dev_bind script to bind eight ZIP PCIe VFs to the ``vfio-pci`` driver:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.1
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.2
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.3
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.4
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.5
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.6
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:00.7
|
|
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0001:04:01.0
|
|
|
|
* The unit test cases can be tested as below:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
reserve enough huge pages
|
|
cd to <build_dir>
|
|
meson test compressdev_autotest
