Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> + +==== What is DPAA2? + +DPAA2 is a hardware-level networking architecture found in some NXP SoCs which contains hardware blocks including Management Complex (MC, a command interface to manipulate DPAA2 objects), Wire Rate I/O processor (WRIOP, packets distribution, queuing, drop decisions), Queues and Buffers Manager (QBMan, Rx/Tx queues control, Rx buffer pools) and others. +The Management Complex runs NXP-supplied firmware which provides DPAA2 objects as an abstraction layer over those blocks to simplify access to the underlying hardware. + +==== Changes from the previous report + +* Isolation between DPAA2 channels link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=58983e4b0253ad38a3e1ef2166fedd3133fdb552[improved]. +* Panic under heavy network load link:https://github.com/mcusim/freebsd-src/issues/19[fixed]. +* FDT/ACPI MDIO support. +* NFS root mount link:https://github.com/mcusim/freebsd-src/issues/7[do not hang] on netboot over DPAA2 anymore. +* Drivers link:https://github.com/mcusim/freebsd-src/issues/2[started] to communicate with MC via their own command portals (DPMCP). +* link:https://github.com/mcusim/freebsd-src/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed[List of all closed issues]. + +==== Work in Progress + +Work on link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=2a9021898c4ee2154787da862c238cfeccd655df[dev/sff] started to support SFF/SFP modules in order to test DPAA2 drivers on links above 1 Gbit/s. + +==== Plan + +* Heavy network load tests (2.5 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s) and bottlenecks mitigation. +* Cached memory-backed software portals. +* Driver resources de-allocation to unload dpaa2.ko properly. +* Further parts (DPSW, DCE, etc.) supported by the hardware. + +Sponsor: Traverse Technologies (providing Ten64 HW for testing)
