See :doc:`../platform/octeontx2` for setup information.
-Pre-Installation Configuration
-------------------------------
-
-Config File Options
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX2_DMA_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
-
- Toggle compilation of the ``lrte_pmd_octeontx2_dma`` driver.
-
Enabling logs
-------------
Once the required VFs are enabled, to be accessible from DPDK, VFs need to be
bound to vfio-pci driver.
+Device Setup
+-------------
+
+The OCTEON TX2 DPI DMA HW devices will need to be bound to a
+user-space IO driver for use. The script ``dpdk-devbind.py`` script
+included with DPDK can be used to view the state of the devices and to bind
+them to a suitable DPDK-supported kernel driver. When querying the status
+of the devices, they will appear under the category of "Misc (rawdev)
+devices", i.e. the command ``dpdk-devbind.py --status-dev misc`` can be
+used to see the state of those devices alone.
+
Device Configuration
--------------------
rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(conf.chunk_pool, rte_mbuf_platform_mempool_ops(), NULL);
rte_mempool_populate_default(conf.chunk_pool);
- rte_rawdev_configure(dev_id, (rte_rawdev_obj_t)&rdev_info);
+ rte_rawdev_configure(dev_id, (rte_rawdev_obj_t)&rdev_info, sizeof(conf));
+
+Performing Data Transfer
+------------------------
+
+To perform data transfer using OCTEON TX2 DMA rawdev devices use standard
+``rte_rawdev_enqueue_buffers()`` and ``rte_rawdev_dequeue_buffers()`` APIs.
+
+Self test
+---------
+
+On EAL initialization, dma devices will be probed and populated into the
+raw devices. The rawdev ID of the device can be obtained using
+
+* Invoke ``rte_rawdev_get_dev_id("DPI:x")`` from the application
+ where x is the VF device's bus id specified in "bus:device.func" format. Use this
+ index for further rawdev function calls.
+
+* This PMD supports driver self test, to test DMA internal mode from test
+ application one can directly calls
+ ``rte_rawdev_selftest(rte_rawdev_get_dev_id("DPI:x"))``
