OCTEONTX SSOVF Eventdev Driver
==============================
The OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD (**librte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf**) provides poll mode
eventdev driver support for the inbuilt event device found in the **Cavium OCTEONTX**
SoC family as well as their virtual functions (VF) in SR-IOV context.
More information can be found at `Cavium, Inc Official Website
<http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-TX_ARM_Processors.html>`_.
Features
--------
Features of the OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD are:
- 64 Event queues
- 32 Event ports
- HW event scheduler
- Supports 1M flows per event queue
- Flow based event pipelining
- Flow pinning support in flow based event pipelining
- Queue based event pipelining
- Supports ATOMIC, ORDERED, PARALLEL schedule types per flow
- Event scheduling QoS based on event queue priority
- Open system with configurable amount of outstanding events
- HW accelerated dequeue timeout support to enable power management
- SR-IOV VF
Supported OCTEONTX SoCs
-----------------------
- CN83xx
Prerequisites
-------------
See :doc: `../platform/octeontx` for setup information.
Pre-Installation Configuration
------------------------------
Config File Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_SSOVF`` (default ``y``)
Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf`` driver.
Driver Compilation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To compile the OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
following ``make`` command:
.. code-block:: console
cd <DPDK-source-directory>
make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc install
Initialization
--------------
The octeontx eventdev is exposed as a vdev device which consists of a set
of SSO group and work-slot PCIe VF devices. On EAL initialization,
SSO PCIe VF devices will be probed and then the vdev device can be created
from the application code, or from the EAL command line based on
the number of probed/bound SSO PCIe VF device to DPDK by
* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("event_octeontx")`` from the application
* Using ``--vdev="event_octeontx"`` in the EAL options, which will call
rte_vdev_init() internally
Example:
.. code-block:: console
./your_eventdev_application --vdev="event_octeontx"
Selftest
--------
The functionality of octeontx eventdev can be verified using this option,
various unit and functional tests are run to verify the sanity.
The tests are run once the vdev creation is successfully complete.
.. code-block:: console
--vdev="event_octeontx,self_test=1"
Limitations
-----------
Burst mode support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Burst mode is not supported. Dequeue and Enqueue functions accepts only single
event at a time.
Rx adapter support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When eth_octeontx is used as Rx adapter event schedule type
``RTE_SCHED_TYPE_PARALLEL`` is not supported.
