Refer to section :ref:`Running testpmd ` for instruction + how to launch ``testpmd`` application. + +Limitations +----------- + +CRC striping +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ThunderX SoC family NICs strip the CRC for every packets coming into the +host interface. So, CRC will be stripped even when the +``rxmode.hw_strip_crc`` member is set to 0 in ``struct rte_eth_conf``. + +Maximum packet length +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ThunderX SoC family NICs support a maximum of a 9K jumbo frame. The value +is fixed and cannot be changed. So, even when the ``rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len`` +member of ``struct rte_eth_conf`` is set to a value lower than 9200, frames +up to 9200 bytes can still reach the host interface. + +Maximum packet segments +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ThunderX SoC family NICs support up to 12 segments per packet when working +in scatter/gather mode. So, setting MTU will result with ``EINVAL`` when the +frame size does not fit in the maximum number of segments. + +Limited VFs +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ThunderX SoC family NICs has 128VFs and each VF has 8/8 queues +for RX/TX respectively. Current driver implementation has one to one mapping +between physical port and VF hence only limited VFs can be used. diff --git a/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_16_07.rst b/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_16_07.rst index 83c841b..1a91c15 100644 --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_16_07.rst +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_16_07.rst @@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ EAL Drivers ~~~~~~~ +* **Added new poll-mode driver for ThunderX nicvf inbuit NIC device.** Libraries ~~~~~~~~~
