+Marvell cnxk SSO Eventdev Driver
+================================
+
+The SSO PMD (**librte_event_cnxk**) and provides poll mode
+eventdev driver support for the inbuilt event device found in the
+**Marvell OCTEON cnxk** SoC family.
+
+More information about OCTEON cnxk SoC can be found at `Marvell Official Website
+<https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/infrastructure-processors/>`_.
+
+Supported OCTEON cnxk SoCs
+--------------------------
+
+- CN9XX
+- CN10XX
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Features of the OCTEON cnxk SSO PMD are:
+
+- 256 Event queues
+- 26 (dual) and 52 (single) Event ports on CN9XX
+- 52 Event ports on CN10XX
+- HW event scheduler
+- Supports 1M flows per event queue
+- Flow based event pipelining
+- Flow pinning support in flow based event pipelining
+- Queue based event pipelining
+- Supports ATOMIC, ORDERED, PARALLEL schedule types per flow
+- Event scheduling QoS based on event queue priority
+- Open system with configurable amount of outstanding events limited only by
+  DRAM
+- HW accelerated dequeue timeout support to enable power management
+
+Prerequisites and Compilation procedure
+---------------------------------------
+
+   See :doc:`../platform/cnxk` for setup information.
