+UADK Compression Poll Mode Driver
+=======================================================
+
+UADK compression PMD provides poll mode compression & decompression driver
+All compression operations are using UADK compress API.
+Hardware accelerators using UADK are supposed to be supported.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+UADK compression PMD has support for:
+
+Compression/Decompression algorithm:
+
+    * DEFLATE - using Fixed and Dynamic Huffman encoding
+
+Window size support:
+
+    * 32K
+
+Checksum generation:
+
+    * CRC32, Adler and combined checksum
+
+Test steps
+-----------
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+	1. Build
+	cd dpdk
+	mkdir build
+	meson build (--reconfigure)
+	cd build
+	ninja
+	sudo ninja install
+
+	2. Prepare
+	echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+	echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+	echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+	echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node3/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+	mkdir -p /mnt/huge_2mb
+	mount -t hugetlbfs none /mnt/huge_2mb -o pagesize=2MB
+
+	2 Test with compress_uadk
+	sudo dpdk-test --vdev=compress_uadk
+	RTE>>compressdev_autotest
+	RTE>>quit
+
+Dependency
+------------
+
+UADK compression PMD relies on UADK library [1]
