+NXP DPAA DMA Driver
+=====================
+
+The DPAA DMA is an implementation of the dmadev APIs, that provide means
+to initiate a DMA transaction from CPU. The initiated DMA is performed
+without CPU being involved in the actual DMA transaction. This is achieved
+via using the QDMA controller of DPAA SoC.
+
+The QDMA controller transfers blocks of data between one source and one
+destination. The blocks of data transferred can be represented in memory
+as contiguous or noncontiguous using scatter/gather table(s).
+
+More information can be found at `NXP Official Website
+<http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/qoriq-arm-processors:QORIQ-ARM>`_.

+Supported DPAA SoCs

+- LS1046A
+- LS1043A
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+See :doc:`../platform/dpaa` for setup information
+
+- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Some part of dpaa bus code (qbman and fman - library) routines are
+   dual licensed (BSD & GPLv2), however they are used as BSD in DPDK in userspace.
+
+Compilation
+------------
+
+For builds using ``meson`` and ``ninja``, the driver will be built when the
+target platform is dpaa-based. No additional compilation steps are necessary.
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+On EAL initialization, DPAA DMA devices will be detected on DPAA bus and
+will be probed and populated into their device list.
+
+
+Platform Requirement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DPAA DMA driver for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
+``Supported DPAA SoCs``.
