+NXP DPAA2 QDMA Driver
+=====================
+
+The DPAA2 QDMA is an implementation of the rawdev API, 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 DPDMAI device exposed by MC.
+
+More information can be found at `NXP Official Website
+<http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/qoriq-arm-processors:QORIQ-ARM>`_.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+The DPAA2 QDMA implements following features in the rawdev API;
+
+- Supports issuing DMA of data within memory without hogging CPU while
+  performing DMA operation.
+- Supports configuring to optionally get status of the DMA translation on
+  per DMA operation basis.
+
+Supported DPAA2 SoCs
+--------------------
+
+- LX2160A
+- LS2084A/LS2044A
+- LS2088A/LS2048A
+- LS1088A/LS1048A
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+See :doc:`../platform/dpaa2` for setup information
+
+Currently supported by DPDK:
+
+- NXP SDK **19.09+**.
+- MC Firmware version **10.18.0** and higher.
+- Supported architectures:  **arm64 LE**.
+
+- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Some part of fslmc bus code (mc flib - object library) routines are
+   dual licensed (BSD & GPLv2).
+
+Pre-Installation Configuration
+------------------------------
+
+Config File Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_DPAA2_QDMA_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
+
+  Toggle compilation of the ``lrte_pmd_dpaa2_qdma`` driver.
+
+Enabling logs
+-------------
+
+For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./your_qdma_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.raw.dpaa2.qdma,<level>
+
+Using ``pmd.raw.dpaa2.qdma`` as log matching criteria, all Event PMD logs can be
+enabled which are lower than logging ``level``.
+
+Driver Compilation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To compile the DPAA2 QDMA PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
+following ``make`` command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
+   make config T=arm64-dpaa-linux-gcc install
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+The DPAA2 QDMA is exposed as a vdev device which consists of dpdmai devices.
+On EAL initialization, dpdmai devices will be probed and populated into the
+rawdevices. The rawdev ID of the device can be obtained using
+
+* Invoking ``rte_rawdev_get_dev_id("dpdmai.x")`` from the application
+  where x is the object ID of the DPDMAI object created by MC. Use can
+  use this index for further rawdev function calls.
+
+Platform Requirement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
+``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``.
