+QEDE Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+The QEDE poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_qede**) implements support
+for **QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx 25G/40G CNA** family of adapters as well
+as their virtual functions (VF) in SR-IOV context. It is supported on
+several standard Linux distros like RHEL7.x and SLES12.x 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
+------------------
+
+- Unicast/multicast/VLAN filtering
+- Promiscuous mode
+- Allmulti mode
+- Port hardware statistics
+- Jumbo frames (using single buffer)
+- VLAN tag insertion/removal
+- Stateless checksum offloads (IPv4/TCP/UDP)
+- Multiple Rx/Tx queues (queue-pairs)
+- RSS (with default table/key)
+- TSS
+- Multiple MAC address
+- Default pause flow control

+  firmware version **8.7.x and higher**. Storm firmware may be available
+  under /usr/lib/firmware/qed/ in certain newer Linux
+  distributions (e.g. qed_init_values_zipped-8.7.8.0.bin).

+
+Sample Application Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section demonstrates how to launch ``testpmd`` with QLogic 579xx
+devices managed by ``librte_pmd_qede`` 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 579xx adapters to ``igb_uio`` or ``vfio-pci`` loaded in the
+   previous step::
+
+      ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind igb_uio 0000:84:00.0 0000:84:00.1 0000:84:00.2 0000:84:00.3
+
+   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 0000:84:00.2 0000:84:00.3
+
+#. Start ``testpmd`` with basic parameters:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      testpmd -c 0xf8000 -n 4 -- -i --nb-cores=4 --portmask=0xf  --rxd=4096 --txd=4096 --txfreet=4068 --rxq=2 --txq=2 --rss-ip --rss-udp

+SR-IOV: Prerequisites and Sample Application Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
+
+**Note**: QEDE PMD will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and
+        Linux native kernel driver (QEDE) will function as SR-IOV PF driver.
+
+#. 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 qede
+
+   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):
+
+   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:
+
+   Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 utility. 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:
+
+   The VF devices may be passed through to the guest VM using virt-manager or
+   virsh. QEDE PMD should be used to bind the VF devices in the guest VM
+   using the instructions outlined in the Application notes below.
