| For example, to download and extract the GTP profile: | ||
| ##### DDP package applied to all physical cards on a host | ||
| Symbolically link your DDP package to the ```ice.pkg``` package in your NIC firmware folder (typically ```/lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp```/) and reload all the physical function drivers or simply reload ice driver. |

"reload all the physical function drivers or simply reload ice driver" - What's the difference between reloading physical function drivers and reload ice driver? Won't physical function driver be equal to ice driver (in E800 case) ?

@zshi-redhat Indeed - PF Driver == ice driver.
There is no difference unless you wanted an E800 card not to be updated for some reason. I will update this.

ok, so you actually can unbind the driver from a particular device which doesn't affect other devices using the same driver (guess this is what you mean in the origianl statement?)

| Please see the i40e driver readme for full details. | ||
| Use Linux `ethtool` utility to load a DDP package into the controller. |

Does it require reloading i40e driver? (The reloading of driver is mentioned in E800 explicitly, but not for X710).

@zshi-redhat No reloading of the driver required.

| ## Dynamic Device Personalization for Intel® Ethernet Controller E810 | ||
| For Intel® Ethernet Controller E810, a DDP package can be loaded into the NIC using the ice kernel driver. Current device DDP state can be determined with DDPTool or devlink. |

Do we want to add devlink support in sriov device plugin?

@zshi-redhat Yes. It is currently being worked on by Patryk. I discussed it at the last community meeting.
