Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a `doca-flow` pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate hash-pipe entries, and update/read memory or index-selector resources inline with Flow. Covers per-port `doca_flow_dpa_ctx`, three queue types (general/resources-write/resources-read), the order-sensitive export handshake…
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 Flow DPA Provider ## Examples - **"DPA kernel never sees entries in the exported pipe."** — this is in scope. Honor the export handshake order; do not rebuild the Flow pipe from the DPA kernel. - **"BAD_STATE from `_pipe_export`."** — finish `_export_prepare` and add entries before `_export`. Do not skip to the device address. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / export / debug. Open the capabilities companion for queue types and the handshake. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed, the user has a BlueField with a DPA processor that the host can see through DOCA, the user already programs DOCA Flow from the host (`doca-flow`) and already runs DPA kernels from the host (`doca-dpa` / DPACC compiler), and the user is doing **hands-on DPA Flow Provider work** — i.e. using `doca-flow-dpa-provider` to export an existing DOCA Flow pipe or external resource into the DPA address space so a DPA kernel can manipulate it inline. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-flow-dpa-provider@sha256:027c94fa9c68e9dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.bbb601a, 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.
