As per the deprecation notice, In the view of enabling unified driver for octeontx2(cn9k)/octeontx3(cn10k), removing drivers/octeontx2 drivers and replace with drivers/cnxk/ which supports both octeontx2(cn9k) and octeontx3(cn10k) SoCs. This patch does the following - Replace drivers/common/octeontx2/ with drivers/common/cnxk/ - Replace drivers/mempool/octeontx2/ with drivers/mempool/cnxk/ - Replace drivers/net/octeontx2/ with drivers/net/cnxk/ - Replace drivers/event/octeontx2/ with drivers/event/cnxk/ - Replace drivers/crypto/octeontx2/ with drivers/crypto/cnxk/ - Rename config/arm/arm64_octeontx2_linux_gcc as config/arm/arm64_cn9k_linux_gcc - Update the documentation and MAINTAINERS to reflect the same. - Change the reference to OCTEONTX2 as OCTEON 9. Old release notes and the kernel related documentation is not accounted for this change.

OCTEON TX EP Poll Mode driver
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
The OCTEON TX EP ETHDEV PMD (**librte_pmd_octeontx_ep**) provides poll mode
|
|
ethdev driver support for the virtual functions (VF) of **Marvell OCTEON 9**
|
|
and **Cavium OCTEON TX** families of adapters in SR-IOV context.
|
|
|

Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This driver relies on external kernel PF driver for resources allocations
|
|
and initialization. The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and
|
|
must be installed separately:
|
|
|
|
- **Kernel module**
|
|
This module, octeon_drv, drives the physical function, initializes hardware,
|
|
allocates resources such as number of VFs, input/output queues for itself and
|
|
the number of i/o queues each VF can use.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`../platform/cnxk` for SDP interface information which provides PCIe endpoint support for a remote host.
