|
|
- Multicast mode
|
|
- Port hardware statistics
|
|
- Jumbo frames
|
|
- Link state information
|
|
- Interrupt mode for RX
|
|
- VLAN stripping

|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
- Get the information about Kunpeng920 chip using
|
|
`<http://www.hisilicon.com/en/Products/ProductList/Kunpeng>`_.
|
|
|
|
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.

|
|
The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
|
|
Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
|
|
|
|
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_HNS3_PMD`` (default ``y``)
|
|
|
|
Driver compilation and testing
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
|
|
for details.

|
|
|
Limitations or Known issues
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Currently, we only support VF device is bound to vfio_pci or
|
|
igb_uio and then driven by DPDK driver when PF is driven by
|
|
kernel mode hns3 ethdev driver, VF is not supported when PF
|
|
is driven by DPDK driver.
|
|
|
|
Build with ICC is not supported yet.
|
|
X86-32, Power8, ARMv7 and BSD are not supported yet.
