I’ve been experimenting with eBPF programs and using the XDP in its native mode (running at driver level). I know BlueField-2’s driver supports it. Now, I wanted to do the offload of the program to the DPU but needed help finding documentation on how to do it. I suspect this indicates the lack of support.  
Does the MT42822 model of the BlueField-2 support the XDP offload? If so, how?

Hello,

Thanks for your question.  
According to my check, XDP, is supported at the driver level.  
Offload is not tested/supported at the moment, and that’s why it’s not present in the documentation.

Best Regards,  
Anatoly
