+OCTEON TX2 DMA Driver
+=====================
+
+OCTEON TX2 has an internal DMA unit which can be used by applications to initiate
+DMA transaction internally, from/to host when OCTEON TX2 operates in PCIe End
+Point mode. The DMA PF function supports 8 VFs corresponding to 8 DMA queues.
+Each DMA queue was exposed as a VF function when SRIOV enabled.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+This DMA PMD supports below 3 modes of memory transfers
+
+#. Internal - OCTEON TX2 DRAM to DRAM without core intervention
+
+#. Inbound  - Host DRAM to OCTEON TX2 DRAM without host/OCTEON TX2 cores involvement
+
+#. Outbound - OCTEON TX2 DRAM to Host DRAM without host/OCTEON TX2 cores involvement
+
+Prerequisites and Compilation procedure
+---------------------------------------
+
+   See :doc:`../platform/octeontx2` for setup information.
+
+
+Pre-Installation Configuration
+------------------------------
+
+Config File Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX2_DMA_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
+
+  Toggle compilation of the ``lrte_pmd_octeontx2_dma`` driver.
+
+Enabling logs
+-------------
+
+For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./your_dma_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.raw.octeontx2.dpi,<level>
+
+Using ``pmd.raw.octeontx2.dpi`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs
+can be enabled which are lower than logging ``level``.
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+The number of DMA VFs (queues) enabled can be controlled by setting sysfs
+entry, `sriov_numvfs` for the corresponding PF driver.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ echo <num_vfs> > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/octeontx2-dpi/0000\:05\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+
+Once the required VFs are enabled, to be accessible from DPDK, VFs need to be
+bound to vfio-pci driver.
+
+Device Setup
+-------------
+
+The OCTEON TX2 DPI DMA HW devices will need to be bound to a
+user-space IO driver for use. The script ``dpdk-devbind.py`` script
+included with DPDK can be used to view the state of the devices and to bind
+them to a suitable DPDK-supported kernel driver. When querying the status
+of the devices, they will appear under the category of "Misc (rawdev)
+devices", i.e. the command ``dpdk-devbind.py --status-dev misc`` can be
+used to see the state of those devices alone.
+
+Device Configuration
+--------------------
+
+Configuring DMA rawdev device is done using the ``rte_rawdev_configure()``
+API, which takes the mempool as parameter. PMD uses this pool to submit DMA
+commands to HW.
+
+The following code shows how the device is configured
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct dpi_rawdev_conf_s conf = {0};
+   struct rte_rawdev_info rdev_info = {.dev_private = &conf};
+
+   conf.chunk_pool = (void *)rte_mempool_create_empty(...);
+   rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(conf.chunk_pool, rte_mbuf_platform_mempool_ops(), NULL);
+   rte_mempool_populate_default(conf.chunk_pool);
+
+   rte_rawdev_configure(dev_id, (rte_rawdev_obj_t)&rdev_info);
+
+Performing Data Transfer
+------------------------
+
+To perform data transfer using OCTEON TX2 DMA rawdev devices use standard
+``rte_rawdev_enqueue_buffers()`` and ``rte_rawdev_dequeue_buffers()`` APIs.
+
+Self test
+---------
+
+On EAL initialization, dma devices will be probed and populated into the
+raw devices. The rawdev ID of the device can be obtained using
+
+* Invoke ``rte_rawdev_get_dev_id("DPI:x")`` from the application
+  where x is the VF device's bus id specified in "bus:device.func" format. Use this
+  index for further rawdev function calls.
+
+* This PMD supports driver self test, to test DMA internal mode from test
+  application one can directly calls
+  ``rte_rawdev_selftest(rte_rawdev_get_dev_id("DPI:x"))``
