+Intel(R) FPGA 5GNR FEC Poll Mode Driver
+=======================================
+
+The BBDEV FPGA 5GNR FEC poll mode driver (PMD) supports an FPGA implementation of a VRAN
+LDPC Encode / Decode 5GNR wireless acceleration function, using Intel's PCI-e and FPGA
+based Vista Creek device.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+FPGA 5GNR FEC PMD supports the following features:
+
+- LDPC Encode in the DL
+- LDPC Decode in the UL
+- 8 VFs per PF (physical device)
+- Maximum of 32 UL queues per VF
+- Maximum of 32 DL queues per VF
+- PCIe Gen-3 x8 Interface
+- MSI-X
+- SR-IOV
+
+FPGA 5GNR FEC PMD supports the following BBDEV capabilities:
+
+* For the LDPC encode operation:
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24B_ATTACH`` : set to attach CRC24B to CB(s)
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_RATE_MATCH`` : if set then do not do Rate Match bypass
+
+* For the LDPC decode operation:
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_TYPE_24B_CHECK`` : check CRC24B from CB(s)
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_ITERATION_STOP_ENABLE`` : disable early termination
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_TYPE_24B_DROP`` : drops CRC24B bits appended while decoding
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_HQ_COMBINE_IN_ENABLE`` : provides an input for HARQ combining
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_HQ_COMBINE_OUT_ENABLE`` : provides an input for HARQ combining
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_INTERNAL_HARQ_MEMORY_IN_ENABLE`` : HARQ memory input is internal
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_INTERNAL_HARQ_MEMORY_OUT_ENABLE`` : HARQ memory output is internal
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_INTERNAL_HARQ_MEMORY_LOOPBACK`` : loopback data to/from HARQ memory
+ - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_INTERNAL_HARQ_MEMORY_FILLERS`` : HARQ memory includes the fillers bits
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+FPGA 5GNR FEC does not support the following:
+
+- Scatter-Gather function
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Section 3 of the DPDK manual provides instuctions on installing and compiling DPDK. The
+default set of bbdev compile flags may be found in config/common_base, where for example
+the flag to build the FPGA 5GNR FEC device, ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_BBDEV_FPGA_5GNR_FEC``,
+is already set. It is assumed DPDK has been compiled using for instance:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+
+DPDK requires hugepages to be configured as detailed in section 2 of the DPDK manual.
+The bbdev test application has been tested with a configuration 40 x 1GB hugepages. The
+hugepage configuration of a server may be examined using:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ grep Huge* /proc/meminfo
+
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+When the device first powers up, its PCI Physical Functions (PF) can be listed through this command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ sudo lspci -vd8086:0d8f
+
+The physical and virtual functions are compatible with Linux UIO drivers:
+``vfio`` and ``igb_uio``. However, in order to work the FPGA 5GNR FEC device firstly needs
+to be bound to one of these linux drivers through DPDK.
+
+
+Bind PF UIO driver(s)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind it with the PF PCI device ID and use
+``lspci`` to confirm the PF device is under use by ``igb_uio`` DPDK UIO driver.
+
+The igb_uio driver may be bound to the PF PCI device using one of three methods:
+
+
+1. PCI functions (physical or virtual, depending on the use case) can be bound to
+the UIO driver by repeating this command for every function.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <dpdk-top-level-directory>
+ insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
+ echo "8086 0d8f" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
+ lspci -vd8086:0d8f
+
+
+2. Another way to bind PF with DPDK UIO driver is by using the ``dpdk-devbind.py`` tool
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <dpdk-top-level-directory>
+ ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:06:00.0
+
+where the PCI device ID (example: 0000:06:00.0) is obtained using lspci -vd8086:0d8f
+
+
+3. A third way to bind is to use ``dpdk-setup.sh`` tool
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <dpdk-top-level-directory>
+ ./usertools/dpdk-setup.sh
+
+ select 'Bind Ethernet/Crypto/Baseband device to IGB UIO module'
+ or
+ select 'Bind Ethernet/Crypto/Baseband device to VFIO module' depending on driver required
+ enter PCI device ID
+ select 'Display current Ethernet/Crypto/Baseband device settings' to confirm binding
+
+
+In the same way the FPGA 5GNR FEC PF can be bound with vfio, but vfio driver does not
+support SR-IOV configuration right out of the box, so it will need to be patched.
+
+
+Enable Virtual Functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Now, it should be visible in the printouts that PCI PF is under igb_uio control
+"``Kernel driver in use: igb_uio``"
+
+To show the number of available VFs on the device, read ``sriov_totalvfs`` file..
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:<b>\:<d>.<f>/sriov_totalvfs
+
+ where 0000\:<b>\:<d>.<f> is the PCI device ID
+
+
+To enable VFs via igb_uio, echo the number of virtual functions intended to
+enable to ``max_vfs`` file..
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ echo <num-of-vfs> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:<b>\:<d>.<f>/max_vfs
+
+
+Afterwards, all VFs must be bound to appropriate UIO drivers as required, same
+way it was done with the physical function previously.
+
+Enabling SR-IOV via vfio driver is pretty much the same, except that the file
+name is different:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ echo <num-of-vfs> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:<b>\:<d>.<f>/sriov_numvfs
+
+
+Configure the VFs through PF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The PCI virtual functions must be configured before working or getting assigned
+to VMs/Containers. The configuration involves allocating the number of hardware
+queues, priorities, load balance, bandwidth and other settings necessary for the
+device to perform FEC functions.
+
+This configuration needs to be executed at least once after reboot or PCI FLR and can
+be achieved by using the function ``fpga_5gnr_fec_configure()``, which sets up the
+parameters defined in ``fpga_5gnr_fec_conf`` structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct fpga_5gnr_fec_conf {
+ bool pf_mode_en;
+ uint8_t vf_ul_queues_number[FPGA_5GNR_FEC_NUM_VFS];
+ uint8_t vf_dl_queues_number[FPGA_5GNR_FEC_NUM_VFS];
+ uint8_t ul_bandwidth;
+ uint8_t dl_bandwidth;
+ uint8_t ul_load_balance;
+ uint8_t dl_load_balance;
+ uint16_t flr_time_out;
+ };
+
+- ``pf_mode_en``: identifies whether only PF is to be used, or the VFs. PF and
+ VFs are mutually exclusive and cannot run simultaneously.
+ Set to 1 for PF mode enabled.
+ If PF mode is enabled all queues available in the device are assigned
+ exclusively to PF and 0 queues given to VFs.
+
+- ``vf_*l_queues_number``: defines the hardware queue mapping for every VF.
+
+- ``*l_bandwidth``: in case of congestion on PCIe interface. The device
+ allocates different bandwidth to UL and DL. The weight is configured by this
+ setting. The unit of weight is 3 code blocks. For example, if the code block
+ cbps (code block per second) ratio between UL and DL is 12:1, then the
+ configuration value should be set to 36:3. The schedule algorithm is based
+ on code block regardless the length of each block.
+
+- ``*l_load_balance``: hardware queues are load-balanced in a round-robin
+ fashion. Queues get filled first-in first-out until they reach a pre-defined
+ watermark level, if exceeded, they won't get assigned new code blocks..
+ This watermark is defined by this setting.
+
+ If all hardware queues exceeds the watermark, no code blocks will be
+ streamed in from UL/DL code block FIFO.
+
+- ``flr_time_out``: specifies how many 16.384us to be FLR time out. The
+ time_out = flr_time_out x 16.384us. For instance, if you want to set 10ms for
+ the FLR time out then set this setting to 0x262=610.
+
+
+An example configuration code calling the function ``fpga_5gnr_fec_configure()`` is shown
+below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct fpga_5gnr_fec_conf conf;
+ unsigned int i;
+
+ memset(&conf, 0, sizeof(struct fpga_5gnr_fec_conf));
+ conf.pf_mode_en = 1;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < FPGA_5GNR_FEC_NUM_VFS; ++i) {
+ conf.vf_ul_queues_number[i] = 4;
+ conf.vf_dl_queues_number[i] = 4;
+ }
+ conf.ul_bandwidth = 12;
+ conf.dl_bandwidth = 5;
+ conf.dl_load_balance = 64;
+ conf.ul_load_balance = 64;
+
+ /* setup FPGA PF */
+ ret = fpga_5gnr_fec_configure(info->dev_name, &conf);
+ TEST_ASSERT_SUCCESS(ret,
+ "Failed to configure 4G FPGA PF for bbdev %s",
+ info->dev_name);
+
+
+Test Application
+----------------
+
+BBDEV provides a test application, ``test-bbdev.py`` and range of test data for testing
+the functionality of FPGA 5GNR FEC encode and decode, depending on the device's
+capabilities. The test application is located under app->test-bbdev folder and has the
+following options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ "-p", "--testapp-path": specifies path to the bbdev test app.
+ "-e", "--eal-params" : EAL arguments which are passed to the test app.
+ "-t", "--timeout" : Timeout in seconds (default=300).
+ "-c", "--test-cases" : Defines test cases to run. Run all if not specified.
+ "-v", "--test-vector" : Test vector path (default=dpdk_path+/app/test-bbdev/test_vectors/bbdev_null.data).
+ "-n", "--num-ops" : Number of operations to process on device (default=32).
+ "-b", "--burst-size" : Operations enqueue/dequeue burst size (default=32).
+ "-l", "--num-lcores" : Number of lcores to run (default=16).
+ "-i", "--init-device" : Initialise PF device with default values.
+
+
+To execute the test application tool using simple decode or encode data,
+type one of the following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./test-bbdev.py -c validation -n 64 -b 1 -v ./ldpc_dec_default.data
+ ./test-bbdev.py -c validation -n 64 -b 1 -v ./ldpc_enc_default.data
+
+
+The test application ``test-bbdev.py``, supports the ability to configure the PF device with
+a default set of values, if the "-i" or "- -init-device" option is included. The default values
+are defined in test_bbdev_perf.c as:
+
+- VF_UL_QUEUE_VALUE 4
+- VF_DL_QUEUE_VALUE 4
+- UL_BANDWIDTH 3
+- DL_BANDWIDTH 3
+- UL_LOAD_BALANCE 128
+- DL_LOAD_BALANCE 128
+- FLR_TIMEOUT 610
+
+
+Test Vectors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In addition to the simple LDPC decoder and LDPC encoder tests, bbdev also provides
+a range of additional tests under the test_vectors folder, which may be useful. The results
+of these tests will depend on the FPGA 5GNR FEC capabilities.

+
+Configure the VFs through PF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The PCI virtual functions must be configured before working or getting assigned
+to VMs/Containers. The configuration involves allocating the number of hardware
+queues, priorities, load balance, bandwidth and other settings necessary for the
+device to perform FEC functions.
+
+This configuration needs to be executed at least once after reboot or PCI FLR and can
+be achieved by using the function ``fpga_lte_fec_configure()``, which sets up the
+parameters defined in ``fpga_lte_fec_conf`` structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct fpga_lte_fec_conf {
+ bool pf_mode_en;
+ uint8_t vf_ul_queues_number[FPGA_LTE_FEC_NUM_VFS];
+ uint8_t vf_dl_queues_number[FPGA_LTE_FEC_NUM_VFS];
+ uint8_t ul_bandwidth;
+ uint8_t dl_bandwidth;
+ uint8_t ul_load_balance;
+ uint8_t dl_load_balance;
+ uint16_t flr_time_out;
+ };
+
+- ``pf_mode_en``: identifies whether only PF is to be used, or the VFs. PF and
+ VFs are mutually exclusive and cannot run simultaneously.
+ Set to 1 for PF mode enabled.
+ If PF mode is enabled all queues available in the device are assigned
+ exclusively to PF and 0 queues given to VFs.
+
+- ``vf_*l_queues_number``: defines the hardware queue mapping for every VF.
+
+- ``*l_bandwidth``: in case of congestion on PCIe interface. The device
+ allocates different bandwidth to UL and DL. The weight is configured by this
+ setting. The unit of weight is 3 code blocks. For example, if the code block
+ cbps (code block per second) ratio between UL and DL is 12:1, then the
+ configuration value should be set to 36:3. The schedule algorithm is based
+ on code block regardless the length of each block.
+
+- ``*l_load_balance``: hardware queues are load-balanced in a round-robin
+ fashion. Queues get filled first-in first-out until they reach a pre-defined
+ watermark level, if exceeded, they won't get assigned new code blocks..
+ This watermark is defined by this setting.
+
+ If all hardware queues exceeds the watermark, no code blocks will be
+ streamed in from UL/DL code block FIFO.
+
+- ``flr_time_out``: specifies how many 16.384us to be FLR time out. The
+ time_out = flr_time_out x 16.384us. For instance, if you want to set 10ms for
+ the FLR time out then set this setting to 0x262=610.
+
+
+An example configuration code calling the function ``fpga_lte_fec_configure()`` is shown
+below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct fpga_lte_fec_conf conf;
+ unsigned int i;
+
+ memset(&conf, 0, sizeof(struct fpga_lte_fec_conf));
+ conf.pf_mode_en = 1;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < FPGA_LTE_FEC_NUM_VFS; ++i) {
+ conf.vf_ul_queues_number[i] = 4;
+ conf.vf_dl_queues_number[i] = 4;
+ }
+ conf.ul_bandwidth = 12;
+ conf.dl_bandwidth = 5;
+ conf.dl_load_balance = 64;
+ conf.ul_load_balance = 64;
+
+ /* setup FPGA PF */
+ ret = fpga_lte_fec_configure(info->dev_name, &conf);
+ TEST_ASSERT_SUCCESS(ret,
+ "Failed to configure 4G FPGA PF for bbdev %s",
+ info->dev_name);
+
+
+Test Application
+----------------
+
+BBDEV provides a test application, ``test-bbdev.py`` and range of test data for testing
+the functionality of FPGA LTE FEC turbo encode and turbo decode, depending on the device's
+capabilities. The test application is located under app->test-bbdev folder and has the
+following options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ "-p", "--testapp-path": specifies path to the bbdev test app.
+ "-e", "--eal-params" : EAL arguments which are passed to the test app.
+ "-t", "--timeout" : Timeout in seconds (default=300).
+ "-c", "--test-cases" : Defines test cases to run. Run all if not specified.
+ "-v", "--test-vector" : Test vector path (default=dpdk_path+/app/test-bbdev/test_vectors/bbdev_null.data).
+ "-n", "--num-ops" : Number of operations to process on device (default=32).
+ "-b", "--burst-size" : Operations enqueue/dequeue burst size (default=32).
+ "-l", "--num-lcores" : Number of lcores to run (default=16).
+ "-i", "--init-device" : Initialise PF device with default values.
+
+
+To execute the test application tool using simple turbo decode or turbo encode data,
+type one of the following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./test-bbdev.py -c validation -n 64 -b 8 -v ./turbo_dec_default.data
+ ./test-bbdev.py -c validation -n 64 -b 8 -v ./turbo_enc_default.data
+
+
+The test application ``test-bbdev.py``, supports the ability to configure the PF device with
+a default set of values, if the "-i" or "- -init-device" option is included. The default values
+are defined in test_bbdev_perf.c as:
+
+- VF_UL_QUEUE_VALUE 4
+- VF_DL_QUEUE_VALUE 4
+- UL_BANDWIDTH 3
+- DL_BANDWIDTH 3
+- UL_LOAD_BALANCE 128
+- DL_LOAD_BALANCE 128
+- FLR_TIMEOUT 610
+
+
+Test Vectors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In addition to the simple turbo decoder and turbo encoder tests, bbdev also provides
+a range of additional tests under the test_vectors folder, which may be useful. The results
+of these tests will depend on the FPGA LTE FEC capabilities:
+
+* turbo decoder tests:
+ - ``turbo_dec_c1_k6144_r0_e10376_crc24b_sbd_negllr_high_snr.data``
+ - ``turbo_dec_c1_k6144_r0_e10376_crc24b_sbd_negllr_low_snr.data``

+ - ``turbo_dec_c2_k3136_r0_e4920_sbd_negllr.data``
+
+
+* turbo encoder tests:

+BBDEV null Poll Mode Driver
+============================
+
+The (**baseband_null**) is a bbdev poll mode driver which provides a minimal
+implementation of a software bbdev device. As a null device it does not modify
+the data in the mbuf on which the bbdev operation is to operate and it only
+works for operation type ``RTE_BBDEV_OP_NONE``.
+
+When a burst of mbufs is submitted to a *bbdev null PMD* for processing then
+each mbuf in the burst will be enqueued in an internal buffer ring to be
+collected on a dequeue call.
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* In-place operations for Turbo encode and decode are not supported
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+The *bbdev null PMD* is enabled and built by default in both the Linux and
+FreeBSD builds.
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+- Call ``rte_vdev_init("baseband_null")`` within the application.
+
+- Use ``--vdev="baseband_null"`` in the EAL options, which will call ``rte_vdev_init()`` internally.
+
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
+
+* ``socket_id``: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
+ (by default, *socket_id* will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* ``max_nb_queues``: Specify the maximum number of queues in the device (default is ``RTE_MAX_LCORE``).
+
+Example:
+~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./test-bbdev.py -e="--vdev=baseband_null,socket_id=0,max_nb_queues=8"

+SW Turbo Poll Mode Driver
+=========================
+
+The SW Turbo PMD (**baseband_turbo_sw**) provides a software only poll mode bbdev
+driver that can optionally utilize Intel optimized libraries for LTE and 5GNR
+Layer 1 workloads acceleration.
+
+Note that the driver can also be built without any dependency with reduced
+functionality for maintenance purpose.
+
+To enable linking to the SDK libraries see detailed installation section below.
+Two flags can be enabled depending on whether the target machine can support
+AVX2 and AVX512 instructions sets and the related SDK libraries for vectorized
+signal processing functions are installed :
+- CONFIG_RTE_BBDEV_SDK_AVX2
+- CONFIG_RTE_BBDEV_SDK_AVX512
+By default these 2 flags are disabled by default. For AVX2 machine and SDK
+library installed then the first flag can be enabled. For AVX512 machine and
+SDK library installed then both flags can be enabled for full real time capability.
+
+This PMD supports the functions: FEC, Rate Matching and CRC functions detailed
+in the Features section.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+SW Turbo PMD can support for the following capabilities when the SDK libraries
+are used:
+
+For the LTE encode operation:
+
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_24A_ATTACH``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_24B_ATTACH``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_RATE_MATCH``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_RV_INDEX_BYPASS``
+
+For the LTE decode operation:
+
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_SUBBLOCK_DEINTERLEAVE``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_TYPE_24B``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_POS_LLR_1_BIT_IN``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_NEG_LLR_1_BIT_IN``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_DEC_TB_CRC_24B_KEEP``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_EARLY_TERMINATION``
+
+For the 5G NR LDPC encode operation:
+
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_RATE_MATCH``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24A_ATTACH``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24B_ATTACH``
+
+For the 5G NR LDPC decode operation:
+
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_TYPE_24B_CHECK``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_TYPE_24A_CHECK``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_TYPE_24B_DROP``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_HQ_COMBINE_IN_ENABLE``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_HQ_COMBINE_OUT_ENABLE``
+* ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_ITERATION_STOP_ENABLE``
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* In-place operations for encode and decode are not supported
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+FlexRAN SDK Download
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As an option it is possible to link this driver with FleXRAN SDK libraries
+which can enable real time signal processing using AVX instructions.
+
+These libraries are available through this `link <https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/flexran-lte-and-5g-nr-fec-software-development-kit-modules>`_.
+
+After download is complete, the user needs to unpack and compile on their
+system before building DPDK.
+
+The following table maps DPDK versions with past FlexRAN SDK releases:
+
+.. _table_flexran_releases:
+
+.. table:: DPDK and FlexRAN FEC SDK releases compliance
+
+ ===================== ============================
+ DPDK version FlexRAN FEC SDK release
+ ===================== ============================
+ 19.08 19.04
+ ===================== ============================
+
+FlexRAN SDK Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Note that the installation of these libraries is optional.
+
+The following are pre-requisites for building FlexRAN SDK Libraries:
+ (a) An AVX2 or AVX512 supporting machine
+ (b) CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) operating system is advised
+ (c) Intel ICC 18.0.1 20171018 compiler or more recent and related libraries
+ ICC is `available with a free community license <https://software.intel.com/en-us/system-studio/choose-download#technical>`_.
+
+The following instructions should be followed in this exact order:
+
+#. Set the environment variables:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ source <path-to-icc-compiler-install-folder>/linux/bin/compilervars.sh intel64 -platform linux
+
+#. Run the SDK extractor script and accept the license:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <path-to-workspace>
+ ./FlexRAN-FEC-SDK-19-04.sh
+
+#. Generate makefiles based on system configuration:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-FEC-SDK-19-04/sdk/
+ ./create-makefiles-linux.sh
+
+#. A build folder is generated in this form ``build-<ISA>-<CC>``, enter that
+ folder and install:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd build-avx512-icc/
+ make && make install
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+In order to enable this virtual bbdev PMD, the user may:
+
+* Build the ``FLEXRAN SDK`` libraries (explained in Installation section).
+
+* Export the environmental variables ``FLEXRAN_SDK`` to the path where the
+ FlexRAN SDK libraries were installed. And ``DIR_WIRELESS_SDK`` to the path
+ where the libraries were extracted.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export FLEXRAN_SDK=<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-FEC-SDK-19-04/sdk/build-avx2-icc/install
+ export DIR_WIRELESS_SDK=<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-FEC-SDK-19-04/sdk/build-avx2-icc/
+
+* Set ``CONFIG_RTE_BBDEV_SDK_AVX2=y`` and ``CONFIG_RTE_BBDEV_SDK_AVX512=y``
+ in DPDK common configuration file ``config/common_base`` to be able to use
+ the SDK libraries as mentioned above.
+ For AVX2 machine it is possible to only enable CONFIG_RTE_BBDEV_SDK_AVX2
+ for limited 4G functionality.
+ If no flag are set the PMD driver will still build but its capabilities
+ will be limited accordingly.
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+- Call ``rte_vdev_init("baseband_turbo_sw")`` within the application.
+
+- Use ``--vdev="baseband_turbo_sw"`` in the EAL options, which will call ``rte_vdev_init()`` internally.
+
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
+
+* ``socket_id``: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
+ (by default, *socket_id* will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* ``max_nb_queues``: Specify the maximum number of queues in the device (default is ``RTE_MAX_LCORE``).
+
+Example:
+~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./test-bbdev.py -e="--vdev=baseband_turbo_sw,socket_id=0,max_nb_queues=8" \
+ -c validation -v ./turbo_*_default.data
