Prerequisites
-------------
-There are three main pre-perquisites for executing SSOVF PMD on a OCTEONTX
-compatible board:
-
-1. **OCTEONTX Linux kernel PF driver for Network acceleration HW blocks**
-
- The OCTEONTX Linux kernel drivers (including the required PF driver for the
- SSOVF) are available on Github at `octeontx-kmod <https://github.com/caviumnetworks/octeontx-kmod>`_
- along with build, install and dpdk usage instructions.
-
-2. **ARM64 Tool Chain**
-
- For example, the *aarch64* Linaro Toolchain, which can be obtained from
- `here <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2017.01/aarch64-linux-gnu>`_.
-
-3. **Rootfile system**
-
- Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
- Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or 16.04 LTS (Xenial) userland which can be obtained
- from `<http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
-
- As an alternative method, SSOVF PMD can also be executed using images provided
- as part of SDK from Cavium. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary
- to bring up a OCTEONTX board.
-
- SDK and related information can be obtained from: `Cavium support site <https://support.cavium.com/>`_.
-
-- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+See :doc: `../platform/octeontx` for setup information.

+OCTEONTX Board Support Package
+==============================
+
+This doc has information about steps to setup octeontx platform
+and information about common offload hw block drivers of
+**Cavium OCTEONTX** SoC family.
+
+
+More information about SoC can be found at `Cavium, Inc Official Website
+<http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-TX_ARM_Processors.html>`_.
+
+Common Offload HW Block Drivers
+-------------------------------
+
+1. **Eventdev Driver**
+ See :doc: `../eventdevs/octeontx.rst` for octeontx ssovf eventdev driver
+ information.
+
+Steps To Setup Platform
+-----------------------
+
+There are three main pre-prerequisites for setting up Platform drivers on
+OCTEONTX compatible board:
+
+1. **OCTEONTX Linux kernel PF driver for Network acceleration HW blocks**
+
+ The OCTEONTX Linux kernel drivers (includes the required PF driver for the
+ Platform drivers) are available on Github at `octeontx-kmod <https://github.com/caviumnetworks/octeontx-kmod>`_
+ along with build, install and dpdk usage instructions.
+
+2. **ARM64 Tool Chain**
