Use this skill for hands-on DOCA Ethernet packet-queue work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC — bringing up a `doca_eth_rxq` or `doca_eth_txq` on a port / representor / SF, picking among the four `enum doca_eth_rxq_type` values (`_REGULAR` / `_CYCLIC` / `_MANAGED_MEMPOOL` / `_SHARED_MEMPOOL`), sizing burst or scatter-gather length against the `_cap_*` queries, submitting `doca_eth_txq_task_send` / `_lso_send` (carrying packet `doca_buf`s — no `doca_eth_frame` struct exists), or debugging…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DOCA Ethernet ## Examples - **"My RX queue is up but no packets arrive."** — RX and TX are two Core contexts; one `doca_ctx_start()` does not cover both. - **"Send-task returns AGAIN at line rate."** — size burst against the `_cap_*` queries before changing queue type. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / build / run. Open the capabilities companion for the RX-type taxonomy and send surface. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing **hands-on packet-queue work** on a host or BlueField with DOCA. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open the capabilities companion when the question is *what can a DOCA Ethernet queue express* on this version. If the user has not installed DOCA yet, route to `doca-setup/SKILL.md` first. **RX and TX are independent Core contexts.** A `doca_eth_rxq` and a `doca_eth_txq` each get their own `doca_ctx_create` / `_start` / `_stop` / `_destroy`; one `doca_ctx_start()` does **not** start both sides. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-eth@sha256:fafc384af364188dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.a4cf47e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
