To build DPDK with the SNOW3G_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer
library from `here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
-The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.53, which
-can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.53.zip>`_.
+The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.54, which
+can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.54.zip>`_.
After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
on their system before building DPDK:
make
make install
+The library requires NASM to be built. Depending on the library version, it might
+require a minimum NASM version (e.g. v0.54 requires at least NASM 2.14).
+
+NASM is packaged for different OS. However, on some OS the version is too old,
+so a manual installation is required. In that case, NASM can be downloaded from
+`NASM website <https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D>`_.
+Once it is downloaded, extract it and follow these steps:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
.. note::
Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
