+BNX2X Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+The BNX2X poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_bnx2x**) implemements support
+for **QLogic 578xx** 10/20 Gbps family of adapters as well as their virtual
+functions (VF) in SR-IOV context. It is supported on several standard Linux
+distros like Red Hat 7.x and SLES12 OS. It is compile-tested under FreeBSD OS.
+
+More information can be found at `QLogic Corporation's Official Website
+<http://www.qlogic.com>`_.
+
+Supported Features
+------------------
+
+BNX2X PMD has support for:
+
+- Base L2 features
+- Unicast/multicast filtering
+- Promiscuous mode
+- Port hardware statistics
+- SR-IOV VF
+
+Non-supported Features
+----------------------
+
+The features not yet supported include:
+
+- TSS (Transmit Side Scaling)
+- RSS (Receive Side Scaling)
+- LRO/TSO offload
+- Checksum offload
+- SR-IOV PF
+
+Co-existence considerations
+---------------------------
+
+- BCM578xx being a CNA can have both NIC and Storage personalities.
+However, coexistence with storage protocol drivers (cnic, bnx2fc and
+bnx2fi) is not supported on the same adapter. So storage personality
+has to be disabled on that adapter when used in DPDK applications.
+
+- For SR-IOV case, bnx2x PMD will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and
+linux native kernel driver (bnx2x) will be attached to SR-IOV PF.
+
+
+Supported QLogic NICs
+---------------------
+
+- 578xx
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+- Requires firmware version **7.2.51.0**. It is inbox on most of the
+  standard linux distros. If it is not available visit
+  `QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com>`
+  to get the required firmware.
+
+Pre-Installation Configuration
+------------------------------
+
+Config File Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following options can be modified in the ``.config`` file. Please note that
+enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
+

+
+  Toggle compilation of bnx2x driver.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of generic debugging messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_INIT`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of initialization related messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_TX`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of transmit fast path run-time messages.
+

+
+  Toggle display of receive fast path run-time messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_REG_ACCESS`` (default **n**)

+Sample Application Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with QLogic 578xx
+devices managed by librte_pmd_bnx2x in Linux operating system.
+
+#. Request huge pages:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages/nr_hugepages
+
+#. Load igb_uio or vfio-pci driver:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
+
+   or
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      modprobe vfio-pci
+
+#. Bind the QLogic adapters to igb_uio or vfio-pci loaded in the previous
+   step:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind igb_uio 0000:84:00.0 0000:84:00.1
+
+   or
+
+   Setup VFIO permissions for regular users and then bind to vfio-pci:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      sudo chmod a+x /dev/vfio
+
+      sudo chmod 0666 /dev/vfio/*
+
+      ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind vfio-pci 0000:84:00.0 0000:84:00.1
+
+#. Start testpmd with basic parameters:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 4 -- -i
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      [...]

+
+SR-IOV: Prerequistes and sample Application Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
+
+#. Verify SR-IOV and ARI capabilities are enabled on the adapter using lspci:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      lspci -s <slot> -vvv
+
+   Example output:
+
+        .. code-block:: console
+
+           [...]
+           Capabilities: [1b8 v1] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
+           [...]
+           Capabilities: [1c0 v1] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
+           [...]
+           Kernel driver in use: igb_uio
+
+#. Load the kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      modprobe bnx2x
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth0 to ens5f0
+      systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth1 to ens5f1
+
+#. Bring up the PF ports:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ifconfig ens5f0 up
+      ifconfig ens5f1 up
+
+#. Create VF device(s):
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      Echo the number of VFs to be created into "sriov_numvfs" sysfs entry
+      of the parent PF.
+
+   Example output:
+
+        .. code-block:: console
+
+           echo 2 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:81:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+
+
+#. Assign VF MAC address:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 ulility. The syntax is:
+      ip link set <PF iface> vf <VF id> mac <macaddr>
+
+   Example output:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+      ip link set ens5f0 vf 0 mac 52:54:00:2f:9d:e8
+
+
+#. PCI passthrough:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      The VF devices may be passthru'ed to the guest VM using virt-manager or virsh etc.
+      bnx2x PMD should be used to bind the VF devices in the guest VM using the instructions
+      outlined in Application notes.
