4 Marvell NITROX Crypto Poll Mode Driver
5 ======================================
7 The Nitrox crypto poll mode driver provides support for offloading
8 cryptographic operations to the NITROX V security processor. Detailed
9 information about the NITROX V security processor can be obtained here:
11 * https://www.marvell.com/security-solutions/nitrox-security-processors/nitrox-v/
16 Nitrox crypto PMD has support for:
20 * ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC``
21 * ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_3DES_CBC``
25 * ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC``
26 * ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA224_HMAC``
27 * ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC``
29 Supported AEAD algorithms:
31 * ``RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_AES_GCM``
36 * Session-less APIs are not supported.
41 For compiling the Nitrox crypto PMD, please check if the
42 CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX setting is set to `y` in config/common_base file.
44 * ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX=y``
49 Nitrox crypto PMD depend on Nitrox kernel PF driver being installed on the
50 platform. Nitrox PF driver is required to create VF devices which will
51 be used by the PMD. Each VF device can enable one cryptodev PMD.
53 Nitrox kernel PF driver is available as part of CNN55XX-Driver SDK. The SDK
54 and it's installation instructions can be obtained from:
