|
|
+ The DPAA2 architecture in Layerscape SoCs consists of
|
|
|
+ networking resources that can be assembled into various
|
|
|
+ nuggets of functionality, called "objects" (DPMAC, DPNI,
|
|
|
+ DPDMUX, DPSW etc), by the Management Complex (MC) firmware.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The MC firmware reads a file called Data Path Layout (DPL)
|
|
|
+ which describes the set of networking objects it should
|
|
|
+ create statically, at boot time.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The restool program is able to talk to the Management
|
|
|
+ Complex at runtime and permits the dynamic reconfiguration
|
|
|
+ of networking objects, as well as saving the current
|
|
|
+ configuration into a new DPL file. Without the restool
|
|
|
+ program, the only possible networking configuration is
|
|
|
+ that specified in the boot-time DPL file.
