Prerequisites
-------------
Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_octeontx2`` driver.
+Driver compilation and testing
+------------------------------
+
+Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+for details.
+
+To compile the OCTEON TX2 PMD for Linux arm64 gcc,
+use arm64-octeontx2-linux-gcc as target.
+
+#. Running testpmd:
+
+ Follow instructions available in the document
+ :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+ to run testpmd.

Runtime Config Options
----------------------
Above devarg parameters are configurable per device, user needs to pass the
parameters to all the PCIe devices if application requires to configure on
all the ethdev ports.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+``mempool_octeontx2`` external mempool handler dependency
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The OCTEON TX2 SoC family NIC has inbuilt HW assisted external mempool manager.
+``net_octeontx2`` pmd only works with ``mempool_octeontx2`` mempool handler
+as it is performance wise most effective way for packet allocation and Tx buffer
+recycling on OCTEON TX2 SoC platform.
+
+CRC striping
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The OCTEON TX2 SoC family NICs strip the CRC for every packet being received by
+the host interface irrespective of the offload configuration.
