* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_AES_GCM``
-Compilation
------------
-
-The **OCTEON TX** :sup:`®` board must be running the linux kernel based on
-sdk-6.2.0 patch 3. In this, the OCTEON TX crypto PF driver is already built in.
+Config flags
+------------
For compiling the OCTEON TX crypto poll mode driver, please check if the
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_CRYPTO setting is set to `y` in
* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_CRYPTO=y``
-The following are the steps to compile the OCTEON TX crypto poll mode driver:
+Compilation
+-----------
-.. code-block:: console
+The OCTEON TX crypto poll mode driver can be compiled either natively on
+**OCTEON TX** :sup:`®` board or cross-compiled on an x86 based platform.
- cd <dpdk directory>
- make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc
- make
+Refer :doc:`../platform/octeontx` for details about setting up the platform
+and building DPDK applications.
-The example applications can be compiled using the following:
+.. note::
-.. code-block:: console
+ OCTEON TX crypto PF driver needs microcode to be available at `/lib/firmware/` directory.
+ Refer SDK documents for further information.
- cd <dpdk directory>
- export RTE_SDK=$PWD
- export RTE_TARGET=build
- cd examples/<application>
- make
