+* **Added OcteonTx TIM Driver (Event timer adapter).**
+
+  The OcteonTx Timer block enables software to schedule events for a future
+  time, it is exposed to an application via Event timer adapter library.

+
+* **Added DPAA2 QDMA Driver (in rawdev).**
+
+  The DPAA2 QDMA is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provide means
+  to initiate a DMA transaction from CPU. The initiated DMA is performed
+  without CPU being involved in the actual DMA transaction.
+
+  See the :doc:`../rawdevs/dpaa2_qdma` guide for more details.
+
+* **Added DPAA2 Command Interface Driver (in rawdev).**
+
+  The DPAA2 CMDIF is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provides
+  communication between the GPP and NXP's QorIQ based AIOP Block (Firmware).
+  Advanced IO Processor i.e. AIOP is clusters of programmable RISC engines
+  optimised for flexible networking and I/O operations. The communication
+  between GPP and AIOP is achieved via using DPCI devices exposed by MC for
+  GPP <--> AIOP interaction.
