QEDE Poll Mode Driver
======================
-The QEDE poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_qede**) implements support
+The QEDE poll mode driver library (**librte_net_qede**) implements support
for **QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx 10G/25G/40G/50G/100G Intelligent Ethernet Adapters (IEA) and Converged Network Adapters (CNA)** family of adapters as well as SR-IOV virtual functions (VF). It is supported on
several standard Linux distros like RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu etc.
It is compile-tested under FreeBSD OS.
- VLAN offload - Filtering and stripping
- N-tuple filter and flow director (limited support)
- NPAR (NIC Partitioning)
-- SR-IOV VF
+- SR-IOV PF and VF
- GRE Tunneling offload
- GENEVE Tunneling offload
- VXLAN Tunneling offload
- MPLSoUDP Tx Tunneling offload
- Generic flow API
-Non-supported Features

Co-existence considerations
---------------------------
- For better performance, it is recommended to use 4K or higher RX/TX rings.
-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_QEDE_PMD`` (default **y**)
-
- Toggle compilation of QEDE PMD driver.
+Config Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_TX`` (default **n**)
+The following option can be modified in the ``config/rte_config.h`` file.
- Toggle display of transmit fast path run-time messages.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_RX`` (default **n**)
-
- Toggle display of receive fast path run-time messages.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_FW`` (default **""**)
+- ``RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_FW`` (default **""**)
Gives absolute path of firmware file.
``Eg: "/lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.40.33.0.bin"``
CAUTION this option is more for custom firmware, it is not
recommended for use under normal condition.
+The following options can be enabled with Meson flags.
+
+- ``RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_TX`` (default **disabled**)
+
+ Toggle display of transmit fast path run-time messages.
+
+- ``RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_RX`` (default **disabled**)
+
+ Toggle display of receive fast path run-time messages.

Config notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
-**Note**: librte_pmd_qede will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and Linux native kernel driver (qede) will function as SR-IOV PF driver. Requires PF driver to be 8.20.x.x or higher.
+**Note**: librte_net_qede will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and Linux native kernel driver (qede) will function as SR-IOV PF driver. Requires PF driver to be 8.20.x.x or higher.
#. Verify SR-IOV and ARI capability is enabled on the adapter using ``lspci``:
.. code-block:: console
- testpmd -l 0,4-11 -n 4 -- -i --nb-cores=8 --portmask=0xf --rxd=4096 \
+ dpdk-testpmd -l 0,4-11 -n 4 -- -i --nb-cores=8 --portmask=0xf --rxd=4096 \
--txd=4096 --txfreet=4068 --enable-rx-cksum --rxq=4 --txq=4 \
