Hi,
My mail with photo snippets were rejected by dpdk mailing list. So,
just sending the summary of it.
My understanding is that in ORAN, typically network order is used
between CU-DU or DU-RU communication. In FAPI interface as well, both LE
and BE are allowed types, however few places do explicitly state BE type.
Our customers/partners are typically using BE and LA12xx is
configured to process BE data.
Regards,
Hemant

Hi Hemant
Can I ask what the usage case is for
RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_ENC_NETWORK_ORDER/RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_DEC_NETWORK_ORDER ?
Thanks
Dave

This patch intoduces a new capability of the bbdev device
to process the LDPC data in network byte order.
