+NTB Rawdev Driver
+=================
+
+The ``ntb`` rawdev driver provides a non-transparent bridge between two
+separate hosts so that they can communicate with each other. Thus, many
+user cases can benefit from this, such as fault tolerance and visual
+acceleration.
+
+This PMD allows two hosts to handshake for device start and stop, memory
+allocation for the peer to access and read/write allocated memory from peer.
+Also, the PMD allows to use doorbell registers to notify the peer and share
+some information by using scratchpad registers.
+
+But the PMD hasn't implemented FIFO. The FIFO will come in 19.11 release.
+And this PMD only supports intel skylake platform.
+
+BIOS setting on skylake platform
+--------------------------------
+
+Intel non-transparent bridge needs special BIOS setting. Since the PMD only
+supports intel skylake platform, introduce BIOS setting here. The referencce
+is https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/server-products/Intel_Xeon_Processor_Scalable_Family_BIOS_User_Guide.pdf
+
+- Set the needed PCIe port as NTB to NTB mode on both hosts.
+- Enable NTB bars and set bar size of bar 23 and bar 45 as 12-29 (2K-512M)
+  on both hosts. Note that bar size on both hosts should be the same.
+- Disable split bars for both hosts.
+- Set crosslink control override as DSD/USP on one host, USD/DSP on
+  another host.
+- Disable PCIe PII SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) for both hosts. This
+  is a hardware requirement.
+
+Build options
+-------------
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IFPGA_RAWDEV`` (default ``y``)
+
+   Toggle compilation of the ``ntb_rawdev`` driver.

+NTB Sample Application
+======================
+
+The ntb sample application shows how to use ntb rawdev driver.
+This sample provides interactive mode to transmit file between
+two hosts.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
+
+The application is located in the ``ntb`` sub-directory.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires an available core for each port, plus one.
+The only available options are the standard ones for the EAL:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./build/ntb_fwd -c 0xf -n 6 -- -i
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on
+running applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL)
+options.
+
+Using the application
+---------------------
+
+The application is console-driven using the cmdline DPDK interface:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+        ntb>
+
+From this interface the available commands and descriptions of what
+they do as as follows:
+
+* ``send [filepath]``: Send file to the peer host.
+* ``receive [filepath]``: Receive file to [filepath]. Need the peer
+  to send file successfully first.
+* ``quit``: Exit program
