+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
+-------------
+
+There are three main pre-requisities for executing DPAA2 CMDIF on a DPAA2
+compatible board:
+
+1. **ARM 64 Tool Chain**
+
+ For example, the `*aarch64* Linaro Toolchain <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.3-2017.02/aarch64-linux-gnu>`_.
+
+2. **Linux Kernel**
+
+ It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/linux>`_.
+
+3. **Rootfile system**
+
+ Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
+ Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or 16.04 LTS (Xenial) userland which can be obtained
+ from `here <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+As an alternative method, DPAA2 CMDIF 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 <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_.
+
+- **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 <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/dpdk-extras>`_.
+
+Currently supported by DPDK:
+
+- NXP SDK **2.0+**.
+- MC Firmware version **10.0.0** 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-linuxapp-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``.

+NXP DPAA2 QDMA Driver
+=====================
+
+The DPAA2 QDMA is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provide means
+to initiate a DMA transaction from CPU. The initiated DMA is performed
+without CPU being involved in the actual DMA transaction. This is achieved
+via using the DPDMAI device exposed by MC.

+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 QDMA implements following features in the rawdev API;
+
+- Supports issuing DMA of data within memory without hogging CPU while
+ performing DMA operation.
+- Supports configuring to optionally get status of the DMA translation on
+ per DMA operation basis.

+IFPGA Rawdev Driver
+======================
+
+FPGA is used more and more widely in Cloud and NFV, one primary reason is
+that FPGA not only provides ASIC performance but also it's more flexible
+than ASIC.
+
+FPGA uses Partial Reconfigure (PR) Parts of Bit Stream to achieve its
+flexibility. That means one FPGA Device Bit Stream is divided into many Parts
+of Bit Stream(each Part of Bit Stream is defined as AFU-Accelerated Function
+Unit), and each AFU is a hardware acceleration unit which can be dynamically
+reloaded respectively.
+
+By PR (Partial Reconfiguration) AFUs, one FPGA resources can be time-shared by
+different users. FPGA hot upgrade and fault tolerance can be provided easily.
+
+The SW IFPGA Rawdev Driver (**ifpga_rawdev**) provides a Rawdev driver
+that utilizes Intel FPGA Software Stack OPAE(Open Programmable Acceleration
+Engine) for FPGA management.
+
+Implementation details
+----------------------
+
+Each instance of IFPGA Rawdev Driver is probed by Intel FpgaDev. In coordination
+with OPAE share code IFPGA Rawdev Driver provides common FPGA management ops
+for FPGA operation, OPAE provides all following operations:
+- FPGA PR (Partial Reconfiguration) management
+- FPGA AFUs Identifying
+- FPGA Thermal Management
+- FPGA Power Management
+- FPGA Performance reporting
+- FPGA Remote Debug
+
+All configuration parameters are taken by vdev_ifpga_cfg driver. Besides
+configuration, vdev_ifpga_cfg driver also hot plugs in IFPGA Bus.
+
+All of the AFUs of one FPGA may share same PCI BDF and AFUs scan depend on
+IFPGA Rawdev Driver so IFPGA Bus takes AFU device scan and AFU drivers probe.
+All AFU device driver bind to AFU device by its UUID (Universally Unique
+Identifier).
+
+To avoid unnecessary code duplication and ensure maximum performance,
+handling of AFU devices is left to different PMDs; all the design as
+summarized by the following block diagram::

+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IFPGA_BUS`` (default ``y``)
+
+ Toggle compilation of IFPGA Bus library.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IFPGA_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
+
+ Toggle compilation of the ``ifpga_rawdev`` driver.
+
+Run-time parameters
+-------------------
+
+This driver is invoked automatically in systems added with Intel FPGA,
+but PR and IFPGA Bus scan is trigged by command line using
+``--vdev 'ifpga_rawdev_cfg`` EAL option.
+
+The following device parameters are supported:
+
+- ``ifpga`` [string]
+
+ Provide a specific Intel FPGA device PCI BDF. Can be provided multiple
+ times for additional instances.
+
+- ``port`` [int]
+
+ Each FPGA can provide many channels to PR AFU by software, each channels
+ is identified by this parameter.
+
+- ``afu_bts`` [string]
+
+ If null, the AFU Bit Stream has been PR in FPGA, if not forces PR and
+ identifies AFU Bit Stream file.
