+The SW Turbo PMD (**baseband_turbo_sw**) provides a poll mode bbdev driver that utilizes
Intel optimized libraries for LTE Layer 1 workloads acceleration. This PMD
supports the functions: Turbo FEC, Rate Matching and CRC functions.

Once registered, the user needs to log in, and look for
-*Intel SWA_SW_FlexRAN_Release_Package R1_3_0* and click for download. Or use
-this direct download link `<https://cdrd.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/575367>`_.
+*Intel FlexRAN Software Release Package -1-6-0* to download or directly through
+this `link <https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/600609>`_.
After download is complete, the user needs to unpack and compile on their
system before building DPDK.

FlexRAN SDK Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following are pre-requisites for building FlexRAN SDK Libraries:
(a) An AVX2 supporting machine
- (b) Windriver TS 2 or CentOS 7 operating systems
- (c) Intel ICC compiler installed
+ (b) CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) operating system
+ (c) Intel ICC 18.0.1 20171018 compiler installed
The following instructions should be followed in this exact order:
source <path-to-icc-compiler-install-folder>/linux/bin/compilervars.sh intel64 -platform linux
-
-#. Extract the ``FlexRAN-1.3.0.tar.gz.zip`` package, then run the SDK extractor
- script and accept the license:
+#. Extract the ``flexran-1-6-0-tar.gz.zip`` package:
.. code-block:: console
- cd <path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.3.0/
- ./SDK-R1.3.0.sh
+ unzip flexran-1-6-0-tar.gz.zip
+ tar xvzf flexran-1-6-0-tar.gz -C FlexRAN-1.6.0/
-#. To allow ``FlexRAN SDK R1.3.0`` to work with bbdev properly, the following
- hotfix is required. Change the return of function ``rate_matching_turbo_lte_avx2()``
- located in file
- ``<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.3.0/SDK-R1.3.0/sdk/source/phy/lib_rate_matching/phy_rate_match_avx2.cpp``
- to return 0 instead of 1.
+#. Run the SDK extractor script and accept the license:
- .. code-block:: c
+ .. code-block:: console
- - return 1;
- + return 0;
+ cd <path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.6.0/
+ ./SDK-R1.6.0.sh
#. Generate makefiles based on system configuration:
.. code-block:: console
- cd <path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.3.0/SDK-R1.3.0/sdk/
+ cd <path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.6.0/SDK-R1.6.0/sdk/
./create-makefiles-linux.sh
#. A build folder is generated in this form ``build-<ISA>-<CC>``, enter that
.. code-block:: console
cd build-avx2-icc/
- make install
+ make && make install
Initialization
.. code-block:: console
- export FLEXRAN_SDK=<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.3.0/SDK-R1.3.0/sdk/build-avx2-icc/install
- export DIR_WIRELESS_SDK=<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.3.0/SDK-R1.3.0/sdk/
+ export FLEXRAN_SDK=<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.6.0/SDK-R1.6.0/sdk/build-avx2-icc/install
+ export DIR_WIRELESS_SDK=<path-to-workspace>/FlexRAN-1.6.0/SDK-R1.6.0/sdk/
* Set ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_BBDEV_TURBO_SW=y`` in DPDK common configuration
To use the PMD in an application, user must:
-- Call ``rte_vdev_init("turbo_sw")`` within the application.
+- Call ``rte_vdev_init("baseband_turbo_sw")`` within the application.
-- Use ``--vdev="turbo_sw"`` in the EAL options, which will call ``rte_vdev_init()`` internally.
+- Use ``--vdev="baseband_turbo_sw"`` in the EAL options, which will call ``rte_vdev_init()`` internally.
The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
.. code-block:: console
- ./test-bbdev.py -e="--vdev=turbo_sw,socket_id=0,max_nb_queues=8" \
- -c validation -v ./test_vectors/bbdev_vector_t?_default.data
+ ./test-bbdev.py -e="--vdev=baseband_turbo_sw,socket_id=0,max_nb_queues=8" \
+ -c validation -v ./turbo_*_default.data
