======================================
Marvell Octeon NIC Accelerator Support
======================================
The Marvell Octeon NIC Accelerator (Dell Open RAN Accelerator, or DORA) is
not a normal NIC and should not be configured as such. Application software
needs to be downloaded to the |DORA| card before it will do anything. The
application software is responsible for:
- loading the octeon kernel module
- bringing up the |DORA| card on every boot
- making the VFs available as resources to Kubernetes
- bringing the |DORA| card down
- back up if a driver upgrade is desired
Any attempt to use the system command to add ``pci-sriov`` VF interfaces will
not succeed, although it is possible to configure it as a ``pci-passthrough``
PF interface.
