[dpdk-dev] [EXT] Re: [PATCH 00/15] Octeon Tx/Tx2 Endpoint pmd

[Pradeep Kumar Nalla]

Hi Ferruh

This PMD, while running on a host, drives octeontx/octeontx2 over pci bus, where as "OcteonTx and OcteonTx2 net drivers" run on respective Tx/Tx2 SOCs to make use of h/w blocks present on the SOC.

Thanks
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,

There is already octeontx and octeontx2 net drivers, what is the difference of the 'endpoint' driver, why it is needed, can you please give more information?
