+OCTEONTX SSOVF Eventdev Driver
+==============================
+
+The OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD (**librte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf**) provides poll mode
+eventdev driver support for the inbuilt event device found in the **Cavium OCTEONTX**
+SoC family as well as their virtual functions (VF) in SR-IOV context.
+
+More information can be found at `Cavium Networks Official Website
+<http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-TX_ARM_Processors.html>`_.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Features of the OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD are:
+
+- 64 Event queues
+- 32 Event ports
+- HW event scheduler
+- Supports 1M flows per event queue
+- Flow based event pipeling
+- Flow pinning support in flow based event pipeling
+- Queue based event pipeling
+- Supports ATOMIC,ORDERED,PARALLEL schedule types per flow
+- Event scheduling QoS based on event queue priority
+- Open system with configurable amount of outstanding events
+- HW accelerated dequeue timeout support to enable power management
+- SR-IOV VF
+
+Supported OCTEONTX SoCs
+-----------------------
+- CN83xx
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+There are three main pre-perquisites for executing SSOVF PMD on a OCTEONTX
+compatible board:
+
+1. **OCTEONTX Linux kernel PF driver for Network acceleration HW blocks**
+
+   The OCTEONTX Linux kernel drivers (including the required PF driver for the
+   SSOVF) are available on Github at `octeontx-kmod <https://github.com/caviumnetworks/octeontx-kmod>`_
+   along with build, install and dpdk usage instructions.
+
+2. **ARM64 Tool Chain**
+
+   For example, the *aarch64* Linaro Toolchain, which can be obtained from
+   `here <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2017.01/aarch64-linux-gnu>`_.
+
+3. **Rootfile system**
+
+   Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
+   Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or 16.04 LTS (Xenial) userland which can be obtained
+   from `<http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+   As an alternative method, SSOVF PMD can also be executed using images provided
+   as part of SDK from Cavium. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary
+   to bring up a OCTEONTX board.
+
+   SDK and related information can be obtained from: `Cavium support site <https://support.cavium.com/>`_.
+
+- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+
+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.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_SSOVF`` (default ``n``)
+
+  By default it is enabled only for defconfig_arm64-thunderx-* config.
+  Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf`` driver.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_SSOVF_DEBUG`` (default ``n``)
+
+  Toggle display of generic debugging messages
+
+Driver Compilation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To compile the OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
+following “make” command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
+   make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc install
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+Burst mode support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Burt mode is not supported. Dequeue and Enqueue functions accepts only single
+event at a time
