2020.1 DPDK Release notes updated

QDMA/DPDK/RELEASE.txt → QDMA/DPDK/RELEASE

-RELEASE: 2020.1
-===============
-
-This release is based on DPDK v19.11 in IOVA=PA mode and contains QDMA poll mode driver and
-QDMA test application. This release is validated on QDMA4.0 2020.1 based example design
-and QDMA3.1 2019.2 patch based example design.
-
-This release includes a patch file for dpdk-pktgen v19.12.0 that extends
-dpdk-pktgen application to handle packets with packet sizes more than 1518 bytes
-and it disables the packet size classification logic in dpdk-pktgen to remove
-application overhead in performance measurement.
-This patch is used for performance testing with dpdk-pktgen application.
-
-The driver is validated against dpdk-pktgen and testpmd applications for API compliance.
-
-SUPPORTED FEATURES:
-===================
-2018.2 Features
----------------
-- Support for both the AXI4 Memory Mapped(MM) and AXI4 Streaming(ST) Interfaces
-- 2048 Queue Sets
-	- 2048 H2C Descriptor Rings
-	- 2048 C2H Descriptor Rings
-	- 2048 C2H Completion Rings
-- Supports Polling Mode
-- Supports SR-IOV with 4 Physical Functions(PF) and 252 Virtual Functions(VF)
-- Allows Only Privileged/Physical functions to program the contexts and registers
-- Mailbox Support
-- Supports Descriptor Prefetch
-- ST H2C to C2H and C2H to H2C loopback support
-- Zero-byte transfer support
-
-2018.3 Features
----------------
-- Descriptor (8, 16, 32, 64 bytes) bypass support
-- Support for Completion queue descriptors of 64 bytes size
-- Support flexible BAR mapping for QDMA configuration register space
-- Support disabling overflow check in completion ring
-- Indirect programming of FMAP registers
-- Version for SW and HW
-
-2019.1 Features
----------------
-- Support DPDK v18.11 LTS
-- Interrupt support for Mailbox events
-- Support Completions in Memory mapped mode
-- Interoperability between Linux driver (as PF/VF) and DPDK driver (as PF/VF)
-- Error monitoring and error logging
-- Driver restructuring to partition QDMA access code such that it can be used across different drivers
-- Device configuration through additional driver APIs
-
-2019.2 Features
----------------
-- Support reset of a VF device (via rte_eth_dev_reset() API)
-- Support PF device removal when its VF device is active
-- Split user logic related data path handling code to qdma_user.c and qdma_user.h
-- Bug Fixes
-	- Correct the PF and VF function ID used in the driver in accordance with HW
-	- Fix dma_from_device command in qdma_testapp application that requests more data from user logic than specified
-	- Fix memory offset calculation in dma_from_device and dma_to_device command in qdma_testapp application for MM mode
-
-2020.1 Updates
----------------
-- Support DPDK v19.11 LTS
-- Support QDMA4.0 context and register changes
-- Common driver to support QDMA3.1 and QDMA4.0 designs
-- Updated and validated the example design with marker changes for QDMA4.0 and without marker changes for QDMA3.1
-- Added support for more than 256 functions 
-- Support multiple bus numbers on single card
-- CPU resource optimization in Tx and Rx data path
-
-KNOWN ISSUES:
-=============
-- On QDMA3.1 2019.2 design, sometimes completions are not received when C2H PIDX updates are held for 64 descriptors
-- On QDMA4.0 2020.1 design, HW errors are observed in dmesg console while validating the MM only design.
-- Function Level Reset(FLR) of PF device when VFs are attached to this PF results in mailbox communication failure
-
-DRIVER LIMITATIONS:
-===================
-- Big endian systems are not supported
-- For optimal QDMA streaming performance, packet buffers of the descriptor ring should be aligned to at least 256 bytes.
