We at NXP are currently working on integrating DPDK over NXP's ARM SoC. As the implementation is dependent on rte_driver/device [1] and SoC framework [2], my plan is to push base infra out in this week and NXP RFC early next week. Other than above, we are also working on supporting ARM Crypto-extension based Cryto drivers.
