+FreeBSD Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Steps to manually install the latest firmware from the downloaded Chelsio
+Unified Wire package for FreeBSD operating system are as follows:
+
+#. Load the kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      kldload if_cxgbe
+
+#. Use dmesg to get the t5nex instance assigned to the Chelsio card:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      dmesg | grep "t5nex"
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      t5nex0: <Chelsio T520-CR> irq 16 at device 0.4 on pci2
+      cxl0: <port 0> on t5nex0
+      cxl1: <port 1> on t5nex0
+      t5nex0: PCIe x8, 2 ports, 14 MSI-X interrupts, 31 eq, 13 iq
+
+   In the example above, a Chelsio T520-CR card is bound to a t5nex0 instance.
+
+#. Install cxgbetool from FreeBSD source repository:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cd <path_to_FreeBSD_source>/tools/tools/cxgbetool/
+      make && make install
+
+#. Use cxgbetool to load the firmware image onto the card:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cxgbetool t5nex0 loadfw <path_to_uwire>/src/network/firmware/t5fw-*.bin
+
+#. Unload and reload the kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      kldunload if_cxgbe
+      kldload if_cxgbe
+
+#. Verify with sysctl:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      sysctl -a | grep "t5nex" | grep "firmware"

+
+Sample Application Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with Chelsio T5
+devices managed by librte_pmd_cxgbe in FreeBSD operating system.
+
+#. Change to DPDK source directory where the target has been compiled in
+   section :ref:`driver-compilation`:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cd <DPDK-source-directory>
+
+#. Copy the contigmem kernel module to /boot/kernel directory:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cp x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang/kmod/contigmem.ko /boot/kernel/
+
+#. Add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      # reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver
+      hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
+      hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
+      # load contigmem module during boot process
+      contigmem_load="YES"
+
+   The above lines load the contigmem kernel module during boot process and
+   allocate 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory to be used for DPDK later on.
+   This is to avoid issues with potential memory fragmentation during later
+   system up time, which may result in failure of allocating the contiguous
+   memory required for the contigmem kernel module.
+
+#. Restart the system and ensure the contigmem module is loaded successfully:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      reboot
+      kldstat | grep "contigmem"
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      2    1 0xffffffff817f1000 3118     contigmem.ko
+
+#. Repeat step 1 to ensure that you are in the DPDK source directory.
+
+#. Load the cxgbe kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      kldload if_cxgbe
+
+#. Get the PCI bus addresses of the interfaces bound to t5nex driver:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      pciconf -l | grep "t5nex"
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      t5nex0@pci0:2:0:4: class=0x020000 card=0x00001425 chip=0x54011425 rev=0x00
+
+   In the above example, the t5nex0 is bound to 2:0:4 bus address.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Both the interfaces of a Chelsio T5 2-port adapter are bound to the
+      same PCI bus address.
+
+#. Unload the kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      kldunload if_cxgbe
+
+#. Set the PCI bus addresses to hw.nic_uio.bdfs kernel environment parameter:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      kenv hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:4"
+
+   This automatically binds 2:0:4 to nic_uio kernel driver when it is loaded in
+   the next step.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Currently, CXGBE PMD only supports the binding of PF4 for Chelsio T5 NICs.
+
+#. Load nic_uio kernel driver:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      kldload ./x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang/kmod/nic_uio.ko
+
+#. Start testpmd with basic parameters:
+

+
+      ./x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 4 -w 0000:02:00.4 -- -i
