+NXP QorIQ DPAA Board Support Package
+====================================
+
+This doc has information about steps to setup QorIq dpaa
+based layerscape platform and information about common offload
+hw block drivers of **NXP QorIQ DPAA** SoC family.
+
+Supported DPAA SoCs
+--------------------
+
+* LS1046A/LS1026A
+* LS1043A/LS1023A
+
+More information about SoC can be found at `NXP Official Website
+<https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-based-
+processors-and-mcus/qoriq-layerscape-arm-processors:QORIQ-ARM>`_.
+
+
+Common Offload HW Block Drivers
+-------------------------------
+
+1. **Nics Driver**
+
+ See :doc:`../nics/dpaa` for NXP dpaa nic driver information.
+
+2. **Cryptodev Driver**
+
+ See :doc:`../cryptodevs/dpaa_sec` for NXP dpaa cryptodev driver information.
+
+3. **Eventdev Driver**
+
+ See :doc:`../eventdevs/dpaa` for NXP dpaa eventdev driver information.
+
+
+Steps To Setup Platform
+-----------------------
+
+There are four main pre-requisities for executing DPAA PMD on a DPAA
+compatible board:
+
+1. **ARM 64 Tool Chain**
+
+ For example, the `*aarch64* Linaro Toolchain <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-i686_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz>`_.
+
+2. **Linux Kernel**
+
+ It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/linux>`_.
+
+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
+ <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-base-18.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+4. **FMC Tool**
+
+ Before any DPDK application can be executed, the Frame Manager Configuration
+ Tool (FMC) need to be executed to set the configurations of the queues. This
+ includes the queue state, RSS and other policies.
+ This tool can be obtained from `NXP (Freescale) Public Git Repository <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/fmc>`_.
+
+ This tool needs configuration files which are available in the
+ :ref:`DPDK Extra Scripts <extra_scripts>`, described below for DPDK usages.
+
+As an alternative method, DPAA 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 DPAA 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 <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_.
+
+
+.. _extra_scripts:
+
+- **DPDK Extra Scripts**
+
+ DPAA based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts
+ as provided in the DPDK Extra repository.
+
+ `DPDK Extras Scripts <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/dpdk-extras>`_.
+
+Currently supported by DPDK:
+
+- NXP SDK **2.0+** (preferred: LSDK 18.09).
+- Supported architectures: **arm64 LE**.
+
+- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>`
+ to setup the basic DPDK environment.

+
+Setup Platform Using OCTEON TX SDK
+----------------------------------
+
+The OCTEON TX platform drivers can be compiled either natively on
+**OCTEON TX** :sup:`®` board or cross-compiled on an x86 based platform.
+
+The **OCTEON TX** :sup:`®` board must be running the linux kernel based on
+OCTEON TX SDK 6.2.0 patch 3. In this, the PF drivers for all hardware
+offload blocks are already built in.
+
+Native Compilation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the kernel and modules are cross-compiled and copied to the target board,
+some intermediate binaries required for native build would be missing on the
+target board. To make sure all the required binaries are available in the
+native architecture, the linux sources need to be compiled once natively.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source
+ make menuconfig
+ make
+
+The above steps would rebuild the modules and the required intermediate binaries.
+Once the target is ready for native compilation, the OCTEON TX platform
+drivers can be compiled with the following steps,
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <dpdk directory>
+ make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc
+ make
+
+The example applications can be compiled using the following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <dpdk directory>
+ export RTE_SDK=$PWD
+ export RTE_TARGET=build
+ cd examples/<application>
+ make
+
+Cross Compilation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The DPDK applications can be cross-compiled on any x86 based platform. The
+OCTEON TX SDK need to be installed on the build system. The SDK package will
+provide the required toolchain etc.
+
+Refer to :doc:`../linux_gsg/cross_build_dpdk_for_arm64` for further steps on
+compilation. The 'host' & 'CC' to be used in the commands would change,
+in addition to the paths to which libnuma related files have to be
+copied.
+
+The following steps can be used to perform cross-compilation with OCTEON TX
+SDK 6.2.0 patch 3:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <sdk_install_dir>
+ source env-setup
+
+ git clone https://github.com/numactl/numactl.git
+ cd numactl
+ git checkout v2.0.11 -b v2.0.11
+ ./autogen.sh
+ autoconf -i
+ ./configure --host=aarch64-thunderx-linux CC=aarch64-thunderx-linux-gnu-gcc --prefix=<numa install dir>
+ make install
+
+The above steps will prepare build system with numa additions. Now this build system can be used
+to build applications for **OCTEON TX** :sup:`®` platforms.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <dpdk directory>
+ export RTE_SDK=$PWD
+ export RTE_KERNELDIR=$THUNDER_ROOT/linux/kernel/linux
+ make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc
+ make -j CROSS=aarch64-thunderx-linux-gnu- CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD=n CONFIG_RTE_EAL_IGB_UIO=n EXTRA_CFLAGS="-isystem <numa_install_dir>/include" EXTRA_LDFLAGS="-L<numa_install_dir>/lib -lnuma"
+
+If NUMA support is not required, it can be disabled as explained in
+:doc:`../linux_gsg/cross_build_dpdk_for_arm64`.
+
+Following steps could be used in that case.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc
+ make CROSS=aarch64-thunderx-linux-gnu-
+
