+ENETC Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+The ENETC NIC PMD (**librte_pmd_enetc**) provides poll mode driver
+support for the inbuilt NIC found in the **NXP LS1028** SoC.
+
+More information can be found at `NXP Official Website
+<https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-based-processors-and-mcus/qoriq-layerscape-arm-processors/qoriq-layerscape-1028a-industrial-applications-processor:LS1028A>`_.

+This section provides an overview of the NXP ENETC
+and how it is integrated into the DPDK.

+Reference: `NXP ENETC OVERVIEW <https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-based-processors-and-mcus/qoriq-layerscape-arm-processors/qoriq-layerscape-1028a-industrial-applications-processor:LS1028A>`_.
+
+ENETC is a PCI Integrated End Point(IEP). IEP implements
+peripheral devices in an SoC such that software sees them as PCIe device.
+ENETC is an evolution of BDR(Buffer Descriptor Ring) based networking
+IPs, introducing several changes intended to bring NXP IP up to date
+with developments in the industry and support new areas like virtualization.
+A major development is the use of a PCI bus for presentation of the IP
+to software, which has implications to the software architecture.
+
+This infrastructure simplifies adding support for IEP and facilitates in following:
+
+- Device discovery and location
+- Resource requirement discovery and allocation (e.g. interrupt assignment,
+ device register address)
+- Event reporting
+
+ENETC Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+NIC Driver (PMD)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ENETC PMD is traditional DPDK PMD which provides necessary interface between
+RTE framework and ENETC internal drivers.
+
+- Driver registers the device vendor table in PCI subsystem.
+- RTE framework scans the PCI bus for connected devices.
+- This scanning will invoke the probe function of ENETC driver.
+- The probe function will set the basic device registers and also setups BD rings.
+- On packet Rx the respective BD Ring status bit is set which is then used for
+ packet processing.
+- Then Tx is done first followed by Rx.

+
+Prerequisites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are three main pre-requisities for executing ENETC PMD on a ENETC
+compatible board:
+
+1. **ARM 64 Tool Chain**
+
+ For example, the `*aarch64* Linaro Toolchain <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.4-2017.08/aarch64-linux-gnu/>`_.
+
+2. **Linux Kernel**
+
+ It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/linux>`_.
+
+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 `here <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed
+separately:
+
+- **NXP Linux LSDK**
+
+ NXP Layerscape software development kit (LSDK) includes support for family
+ of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors
+ and corresponding boards.
+
+ It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs,
+ a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules.
+
+ LSDK and related information can be obtained from: `LSDK <https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/linux-software-and-development-tools/layerscape-software-development-kit:LAYERSCAPE-SDK>`_
+
+Driver compilation and testing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. Please refer the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+ to compile the driver. Please use target "arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc" and disable the below config flags
+ while compilation:
+
+ - ``CONFIG_RTE_EAL_IGB_UIO=n``
+ - ``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD=n``
+ - ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_NUMA=n``
+ - ``CONFIG_RTE_EAL_NUMA_AWARE_HUGEPAGES=n``
+
+ Refer to the document :ref:`cross build dpdk for arm63 <configure_and_cross_compile_dpdk_build>` to
+ disable flags and for cross compilation
+
+#. To compile in performance mode, please also set ``CONFIG_RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE=64``
+
+#. Running l2fwd:
+
+ Follow instructions available in the document
+ :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+ to run l2fwd.
+
+ - First unbind the ports from kernel
+
+ - echo vfio-pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:00.1/driver_override
+ - echo 0000:00:00.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind
+ - echo vfio-pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:00.0/driver_override
+ - echo 0000:00:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind
+ - Then bind them to VFIO, so that DPDK application can use them
+
+ - echo 0000:00:00.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/bind
+ - echo 0000:00:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/bind
+ - Mount Hugepages
+
+ - mkdir /mnt/hugepages
+ - mount -t hugetlbfs none /mnt/hugepages
+ - Run l2fwd application
+
+Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ./l2fwd -c 0x3 -n 1 --log-level=8 -- -p 0x3 -q 1 -T 0
+
+ .....
+ EAL: Registered [pci] bus.
+ EAL: Detected 2 lcore(s)
+ .....
+ EAL: Bus scan completed
+ .....
+ Configuring Port 0 (socket 0)
+ Port 0: 00:00:00:00:00:01
+ Configuring Port 1 (socket 0)
+ Port 1: 00:00:00:00:00:02
+ .....
+ Checking link statuses...
+ Port 0 Link Up - speed 0 Mbps - full-duplex
+ Port 1 Link Up - speed 0 Mbps - full-duplex
