## Setup of T2-related DPDK EAL parameters
To configure T2-related DPDK Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) parameters, you can set the following parameters via the command line:
- `ldpc_offload.dpdk_dev` - **mandatory** parameter, specifies PCI address of the T2 card. PCI address of the T2 card can be detected by `lspci | grep "Xilinx"` command.
- `ldpc_offload.dpdk_cores_list` - CPU cores assigned to DPDK for T2 processing, by default set to *11-12*. Ensure that the CPU cores specified in *ldpc_offload.dpdk_cores_list* are available and not used by other processes to avoid conflicts.
- `ldpc_offload.dpdk_prefix` - DPDK shared data file prefix, by default set to *b6*

# Setup of T2-related DPDK EAL parameters
To configure T2-related DPDK Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) parameters, you can set the following parameters via the command line of PHY simulators or softmodem:
- `nrLDPC_coding_t2.dpdk_dev` - **mandatory** parameter, specifies PCI address of the T2 card. PCI address of the T2 card can be detected by `lspci | grep "Xilinx"` command.
- `nrLDPC_coding_t2.dpdk_core_list` - **mandatory** parameter, specifies CPU cores assigned to DPDK for T2 processing. Ensure that the CPU cores specified in *nrLDPC_coding_t2.dpdk_core_list* are available and not used by other processes to avoid conflicts.
- `nrLDPC_coding_t2.dpdk_prefix` - DPDK shared data file prefix, by default set to *b6*.
**Note:** These parameters can also be provided in a configuration file:
```
nrLDPC_coding_t2 : {
dpdk_dev : "41:00.0";
dpdk_core_list : "14-15";
};
loader : {
ldpc : {
shlibversion : "_t2";
};
};
```
