#### Setup
- For setting up the Bluefield NIC in __embedded mode__ read the [SmartNIC setup readme](./documentation/smartnic_setup.md).
- For setup related to __Mediated Devices__ in embedded mode read the [Mediated Devices readme](./documentation/mediated_devices.md).
- For setting up __separated mode__ or information regarding on __DPDK mTCP__ checkout [handover-material-rinku](./documentation/handover-material-rinku).

Move into root [`sudo su`], then
1. Decrease the number of maximum mediated devices[mdev] - This step seems to be optional
2. Check if the max_mdevs have been set: `cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/mdev_supported_types/mlx5_core-local/max_mdevs`
3. Generate a uuid using: `uuidgen`
4. Create a mdev device using the uuid generated: `echo bfced4bb-60f6-4a8a-9562-1d1616f756bf > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.1/mdev_supported_types/mlx5_core-local/create`
5. The created device must be un-binded. Reason quoting Mellanox Docs: _"By default, if the driver vfio_mdev is loaded, newly created mdev devices are bound to it. To make use of this newly created mdev device in order to create a netdevice and RDMA device, you must first unbind it from that driver"_.
6. Add a mac address to the newly created device: `echo 00:11:22:33:44:51 > /sys/bus/mdev/devices/bfced4bb-60f6-4a8a-9562-1d1616f756bf/devlink-compat-config/mac_addr`
7. Mediated devices like other network interfaces are created in pairs, one part to which applications must be bound and the other part to connect to the ovs-bridge.
To check the name of one end of the interface, run: `cat /sys/bus/mdev/devices/bfced4bb-60f6-4a8a-9562-1d1616f756bf/devlink-compat-config/netdev`
8. Bind the mediated device to the mlx5_core driver. run:
