+Features
+--------
+
+Nitrox crypto PMD has support for:
+
+Cipher algorithms:
+
+* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC``
+
+Hash algorithms:
+
+* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC``
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* AES_CBC Cipher Only combination is not supported.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+For compiling the Nitrox crypto PMD, please check if the
+CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX setting is set to `y` in config/common_base file.
+
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX=y``
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+Nitrox crypto PMD depend on Nitrox kernel PF driver being installed on the
+platform. Nitrox PF driver is required to create VF devices which will
+be used by the PMD. Each VF device can enable one cryptodev PMD.
+
+Nitrox kernel PF driver is available as part of CNN55XX-Driver SDK. The SDK
+and it's installation instructions can be obtained from:
+`Marvell Technical Documentation Portal <https://support.cavium.com/>`_.
