Processor LS1043a Linux network driver consulting

[niehy]

There is a project using the processor LS1043a. The Linux version is 5.4.3. The directory drivers\net\ethernet\freescale has network drivers. As shown below:

dpaa

dpaa2

enetc

fman

fs_enet

sdk_dpaa

sdk_fman

What is the difference between the drivers in these subdirectories. especially the difference between the sdk_dpaa and sdk_fman directories.

LS1043A is dpaa based, so only dpaa+fman drivers are valid. And sdk_dpaa+sdk_fman drivers are for Linux kernel in LSDK, dpaa+fman drive are for upstream Linux kernel use. Besides the sdk_dpaa+sdk_fman driver, you are supposed to use fsl-ls1043a-rdb-sdk.dts for LSDK Kernel use.
