6 MVNETA Poll Mode Driver
7 =======================
9 The MVNETA PMD (librte_pmd_mvneta) provides poll mode driver support
10 for the Marvell NETA 1/2.5 Gbps adapter.
12 Detailed information about SoCs that use PPv2 can be obtained here:
14 * https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-3700/
18 Due to external dependencies, this driver is disabled by default. It must
19 be enabled manually by setting relevant configuration option manually.
20 Please refer to `Config File Options`_ section for further details.
26 Features of the MVNETA PMD are:
43 - Flushing vlans added for filtering is not possible due to MUSDK missing
44 functionality. Current workaround is to reset board so that NETA has a
45 chance to start in a sane state.
50 - Custom Linux Kernel sources
52 .. code-block:: console
54 git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell.git -b linux-4.4.120-armada-18.09
57 - MUSDK (Marvell User-Space SDK) sources
59 .. code-block:: console
61 git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/musdk-marvell.git -b musdk-armada-18.09
63 MUSDK is a light-weight library that provides direct access to Marvell's
64 NETA. Alternatively prebuilt MUSDK library can be
65 requested from `Marvell Extranet <https://extranet.marvell.com>`_. Once
66 approval has been granted, library can be found by typing ``musdk`` in
69 MUSDK must be configured with the following features:
71 .. code-block:: console
73 --enable-pp2=no --enable-neta
77 Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup
80 Pre-Installation Configuration
81 ------------------------------
86 The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
88 - ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MVNETA_PMD`` (default ``n``)
90 Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mvneta driver.
95 The following ``devargs`` options can be enabled at runtime. They must
96 be passed as part of EAL arguments.
98 - ``iface`` (mandatory, with no default value)
100 The name of port (owned by MUSDK) that should be enabled in DPDK.
101 This options can be repeated resulting in a list of ports to be
102 enabled. For instance below will enable ``eth0`` and ``eth1`` ports.
104 .. code-block:: console
106 ./testpmd --vdev=net_mvneta,iface=eth0,iface=eth1 \
113 Driver needs precompiled MUSDK library during compilation.
115 .. code-block:: console
117 export CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
119 ./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu --enable-pp2=no --enable-neta
122 MUSDK will be installed to `usr/local` under current directory.
123 For the detailed build instructions please consult ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt``.
125 Before the DPDK build process the environmental variable ``LIBMUSDK_PATH`` with
126 the path to the MUSDK installation directory needs to be exported.
128 .. code-block:: console
130 export LIBMUSDK_PATH=<musdk>/usr/local
131 export CROSS=aarch64-linux-gnu-
132 make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
133 sed -ri 's,(MVNETA_PMD=)n,\1y,' build/.config
139 MVNETA PMD requires extra out of tree kernel modules to function properly.
140 `musdk_uio` and `mv_neta_uio` sources are part of the MUSDK. Please consult
141 ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt`` for the detailed build instructions.
143 .. code-block:: console
146 insmod mv_neta_uio.ko
148 Additionally interfaces used by DPDK application need to be put up:
150 .. code-block:: console
155 In order to run testpmd example application following command can be used:
157 .. code-block:: console
159 ./testpmd --vdev=net_mvneta,iface=eth0,iface=eth1 -c 3 -- \
160 -i --p 3 -a --txd 256 --rxd 128 --rxq=1 --txq=1 --nb-cores=1
163 In order to run l2fwd example application following command can be used:
165 .. code-block:: console
167 ./l2fwd --vdev=net_mvneta,iface=eth0,iface=eth1 -c 3 -- -T 1 -p 3
