Bruce Richardson 218c4e68c1 mk: use linux and freebsd in config names
Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e.  both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

NXP DPAA2 CMDIF Driver
======================
The DPAA2 CMDIF is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provides
communication between the GPP and AIOP (Firmware). This is achieved
via using the DPCI devices exposed by MC for GPP <--> AIOP interaction.
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 CMDIF implements following features in the rawdev API;
- Getting the object ID of the device (DPCI) using attributes
- I/O to and from the AIOP device using DPCI
Supported DPAA2 SoCs
--------------------
- LS2084A/LS2044A
- LS2088A/LS2048A
- LS1088A/LS1048A
Prerequisites
-------------
See :doc:`../platform/dpaa2` for setup information
Currently supported by DPDK:
- NXP SDK **18.09+**.
- MC Firmware version **10.10.0** and higher.
- Supported architectures: **arm64 LE**.
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
.. note::
Some part of fslmc bus code (mc flib - object library) routines are
dual licensed (BSD & GPLv2).
Pre-Installation Configuration
------------------------------
Config File Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_DPAA2_CMDIF_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
Toggle compilation of the ``lrte_pmd_dpaa2_cmdif`` driver.
Enabling logs
-------------
For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
.. code-block:: console
./your_cmdif_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.raw.dpaa2.cmdif,<level>
Using ``pmd.raw.dpaa2.cmdif`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs can be
enabled which are lower than logging ``level``.
Driver Compilation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To compile the DPAA2 CMDIF PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
following ``make`` command:
.. code-block:: console
cd <DPDK-source-directory>
make config T=arm64-dpaa2-linux-gcc install
Initialization
--------------
The DPAA2 CMDIF is exposed as a vdev device which consists of dpci devices.
On EAL initialization, dpci devices will be probed and then vdev device
can be created from the application code by
* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("dpaa2_dpci")`` from the application
* Using ``--vdev="dpaa2_dpci"`` in the EAL options, which will call
rte_vdev_init() internally
Example:
.. code-block:: console
./your_cmdif_application <EAL args> --vdev="dpaa2_dpci"
Platform Requirement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``.
