Doca Comch

Guidance for tasks where the user is doing hands-on DOCA Comch work on a host + BlueField pair — bringing up host ↔ DPU PCIe control-plane messaging, picking server (DPU) vs client (host) roles, choosing slow-path send-task /…

Doca Comm Channel Admin

Use this skill to enumerate host↔DPU DOCA comch (formerly Comm Channel) servers and connections via the shipped docacommchanneladmin binary — listing comch-capable devices and decoding the per-device server / connection table (server…

Doca Common

Use this skill whenever the user is doing hands-on DOCA programming on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC and needs the foundation primitives every per-library context rests on — walking the docactx lifecycle, discovering docadev /…

Doca Compress

Use this skill for hands-on DOCA Compress programming on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or host with DOCA — enabling compress-deflate, decompress-deflate, decompress-lz4-stream, or decompress-lz4-block tasks on a docacompress context (the…

Doca Container Deployment

Guidance for tasks where the user is hands-on deploying an in-bundle DOCA service container (Argus, DMS, Firefly, or UROM service) on a BlueField — kubelet standalone watching a static-pod manifests directory, YAML pod-spec drop, kubelet…

Doca Debug

Guidance for tasks where the user is debugging any DOCA symptom — a build that won't compile, a link step that can't resolve a doca symbol, a runtime call returning DOCAERROR, a silent service or tool, or a stack trace / valgrind / core…

Doca Devemu

Guidance for tasks where the user is doing hands-on DOCA Device Emulation on a BlueField DPU — exposing a custom emulated PCIe device the host sees as a real peripheral while DPU-side code runs the backend, picking the sub-library (PCI…

Doca Dma

Guidance for tasks where the user is doing hands-on DOCA DMA programming — bringing up a docadma context, configuring the single docadmataskmemcpy task type, sizing buffers via the docadmacaptaskmemcpy queries, setting LOCALREADONLY /…

Doca Dms

Operate NVIDIA DOCA Management Service (dmsd + dmspe) on a BlueField, Arm/x86 host, or Kubernetes pod: choose deployment and authentication, configure -allowedusers and dmsgroup, use gNMI Get/Set/Subscribe, run supported gNOI workflows…

Doca Dpa

Guidance for tasks where the user is doing hands-on DOCA DPA host-side work on a BlueField — creating the docadpa Core context, loading a DPACC-compiled DPA app image (docadpaapp), creating DPA threads, launching kernels via…

Doca Dpa Hl Tracer

Guidance for tasks where the user runs docadpahltracer to capture/decode DPA-side traces at the programming-events layer (kernel entry/exit, sync points, comm primitive calls, RDMA WR submission, completion drain) — picking TRACE vs CRIT…

Doca Dpdk Bridge

Guidance for tasks where the user has an existing DPDK application and is adding DOCA capabilities in-place — most commonly DOCA Flow hardware steering — without rewriting the data-plane in DOCA-native form: binding a DPDK port id to a…

Doca Erasure Coding

Guidance for tasks where the user is doing hands-on DOCA Erasure Coding programming on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or host — bringing up a docaec context, picking among the create / recover / update tasks, choosing matrix type / N / K…

Doca Eth

Use this skill for hands-on DOCA Ethernet packet-queue work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC — bringing up a docaethrxq or docaethtxq on a port / representor / SF, picking among the four enum docaethrxqtype values (REGULAR / CYCLIC /…

Doca Firefly

Guidance for tasks where the user is operating the DOCA Firefly Service container on BlueField — picking the four PTP configuration axes (role / profile / domain / interface), wiring the BlueField PHC + host follower + consumer workload…

Doca Flow

Build and debug DOCA Flow applications on supported NVIDIA NICs/DPUs: define match/action pipes, initialize ports and representors, choose forwarding targets, validate pipes before hardware programming, read counters, match the Flow…

Doca Flow Dpa Perf

Guidance for tasks where the user is invoking docaflowdpaperf on DPA-capable hardware (ConnectX-7 minimum supported, ConnectX-8 recommended, or BlueField-3) to measure rule update / disable rates on the DPA-offloaded DOCA Flow path…

Doca Flow Dpa Provider

Guidance for tasks where the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a doca-flow pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate…

Doca Flow Grpc Server

PLAINTEXT-ONLY: the shipped docaflowgrpc server uses grpc::InsecureServerCredentials() with NO TLS / mTLS / token-auth knob on the binary — transport security must come from external infrastructure (e.g. an mTLS proxy / sidecar) on a…

Doca Flow Perf

Guidance for tasks where the user is measuring the host or DPU-CPU control-plane rate of a DOCA Flow pipeline with docaflowperf — picking a JSON policy from configs/, choosing the DPDK or DOCA backend, running the single-iteration smoke…
