+Configuration
+-------------
-Using the SZEDATA2 PMD
-----------------------
-
-SZEDATA2 PMD can be created by passing ``--vdev=`` option to EAL in the
-following format:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- --vdev 'DEVICE,dev_path=PATH,rx_ifaces=RX_MASK,tx_ifaces=TX_MASK'
-
-``DEVICE`` and options ``dev_path``, ``rx_ifaces``, ``tx_ifaces`` are mandatory
-and must be separated by commas.
+These configuration options can be modified before compilation in the
+``.config`` file:
-* ``DEVICE``: contains prefix ``eth_szedata2`` followed by numbers or letters,
- must be unique for each virtual device
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SZEDATA2`` default value: **n**
-* ``dev_path``: Defines path to szedata2 device.
- Value is valid path to szedata2 device. Example:
+ Value **y** enables compilation of szedata2 PMD.
- .. code-block:: console
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SZEDATA2_AS`` default value: **0**
- dev_path=/dev/szedataII0
+ This option defines type of firmware address space.
+ Currently supported value is:
-* ``rx_ifaces``: Defines which receive channels will be used.
- For each channel is created one queue. Value is mask for selecting which
- receive channels are required. Example:
+ * **0** for firmwares:
- .. code-block:: console
+ * NIC_100G1_LR4
+ * HANIC_100G1_LR4
+ * HANIC_100G1_SR10
- rx_ifaces=0x3
-* ``tx_ifaces``: Defines which transmit channels will be used.
- For each channel is created one queue. Value is mask for selecting which
- transmit channels are required. Example:
+Using the SZEDATA2 PMD
+----------------------
- .. code-block:: console
+From DPDK version 2.3.0 the type of SZEDATA2 PMD is changed to PMD_PDEV.
+SZEDATA2 device is automatically recognized during EAL initialization.
+No special command line options are needed.
- tx_ifaces=0x3
+Kernel modules have to be loaded before running the DPDK application.
