Supported DPAA2 SoCs -------------------- - LX2160A - LS2084A/LS2044A - LS2088A/LS2048A - LS1088A/LS1048A More information about SoC can be found at `NXP Official Website `_. Common Offload HW Block Drivers ------------------------------- 1. **Nics Driver** See :doc:`../nics/dpaa2` for NXP dpaa2 nic driver information. 2. **Cryptodev Driver** See :doc:`../cryptodevs/dpaa2_sec` for NXP dpaa2 cryptodev driver information. 3. **Eventdev Driver** See :doc:`../eventdevs/dpaa2` for NXP dpaa2 eventdev driver information. 4. **Rawdev AIOP CMDIF Driver** See :doc:`../rawdevs/dpaa2_cmdif` for NXP dpaa2 AIOP command interface driver information. 5. **Rawdev QDMA Driver** See :doc:`../rawdevs/dpaa2_qdma` for NXP dpaa2 QDMA driver information. Steps To Setup Platform ----------------------- There are four main pre-requisites for executing DPAA2 PMD on a DPAA2 compatible board: 1. **ARM 64 Tool Chain** For example, the `*aarch64* Linaro Toolchain `_. 2. **Linux Kernel** It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting `_. 3. **Rootfile system** Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) or 18.04 (Bionic) userland which can be obtained from `here `_. 4. **Resource Scripts** DPAA2 based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts as provided in the DPDK Extra repository. 5. **Build Config** Use dpaa build configs, they work for both DPAA2 and DPAA platforms. As an alternative method, DPAA2 PMD can also be executed using images provided as part of SDK from NXP. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary to bring up a DPAA2 board. The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed separately: - **NXP Linux SDK** NXP Linux software development kit (SDK) includes support for family of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors and corresponding boards. It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs, a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules. SDK and related information can be obtained from: `NXP QorIQ SDK `_. .. _extra_scripts: - **DPDK Extra Scripts** DPAA2 based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts as provided in the DPDK Extra repository. `DPDK Extras Scripts `_. Currently supported by DPDK: - NXP SDK **LSDK 19.09++**. - MC Firmware version **10.18.0** and higher. - Supported architectures: **arm64 LE**. - Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux ` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
