+SZEDATA2 poll mode driver library
+=================================
+
+The SZEDATA2 poll mode driver library implements support for cards from COMBO
+family (**COMBO-80G**, **COMBO-100G**).
+The SZEDATA2 PMD is virtual PMD which uses interface provided by libsze2
+library to communicate with COMBO cards over sze2 layer.
+
+More information about family of
+`COMBO cards <https://www.liberouter.org/technologies/cards/>`_
+and used technology
+(`NetCOPE platform <https://www.liberouter.org/technologies/netcope/>`_) can be
+found on the `Liberouter website <https://www.liberouter.org/>`_.
+
+.. note::
+
+   This driver has external dependencies.
+   Therefore it is disabled in default configuration files.
+   It can be enabled by setting ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SZEDATA2=y``
+   and recompiling.
+
+Prerequisities
+--------------
+
+This PMD requires kernel modules which are responsible for initialization and
+allocation of resources needed for sze2 layer function.
+Communication between PMD and kernel modules is mediated by libsze2 library.
+These kernel modules and library are not part of DPDK and must be installed
+separately:
+
+*  **libsze2 library**
+
+   The library provides API for initialization of sze2 transfers, receiving and
+   transmitting data segments.
+
+*  **Kernel modules**
+
+   * combov3
+   * szedata2_cv3
+
+   Kernel modules manage initialization of hardware, allocation and
+   sharing of resources for user space applications:
+
+Information about getting the dependencies can be found `here
+<https://www.liberouter.org/technologies/netcope/access-to-libsze2-library/>`_.
+
+
+Using the SZEDATA2 PMD
+----------------------
+
+SZEDATA2 PMD can be created by passing ``--vdev=`` option to EAL in the
+following format:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   --vdev 'DEVICE,dev_path=PATH,rx_ifaces=RX_MASK,tx_ifaces=TX_MASK'
+
+``DEVICE`` and options ``dev_path``, ``rx_ifaces``, ``tx_ifaces`` are mandatory
+and must be separated by commas.
+
+*  ``DEVICE``: contains prefix ``eth_szedata2`` followed by numbers or letters,
+   must be unique for each virtual device
+
+*  ``dev_path``: Defines path to szedata2 device.
+   Value is valid path to szedata2 device. Example:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      dev_path=/dev/szedataII0
+
+*  ``rx_ifaces``: Defines which receive channels will be used.
+   For each channel is created one queue. Value is mask for selecting which
+   receive channels are required. Example:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      rx_ifaces=0x3
+
+*  ``tx_ifaces``: Defines which transmit channels will be used.
+   For each channel is created one queue. Value is mask for selecting which
+   transmit channels are required. Example:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      tx_ifaces=0x3
+
+Example of usage
+----------------
+
+Read packets from 0. and 1. receive channel and write them to 0. and 1.
+transmit channel:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 2 \
+   --vdev 'eth_szedata20,dev_path=/dev/szedataII0,rx_ifaces=0x3,tx_ifaces=0x3' \
+   -- --port-topology=chained --rxq=2 --txq=2 --nb-cores=2
