# Doca Dpdk Bridge

> Use this skill when the user has an existing DPDK application and is adding DOCA capabilities in-place — most commonly DOCA Flow hardware steering — without rewriting the data-plane in DOCA-native form: binding a DPDK port id to a docadev (docadpdkportprobe / docadpdkportasdev), converting rtembuf ↔ docabuf, querying docadpdkcapisrepportsupported, or debugging DOCAERROR from a bridge call. Trigger even without "DOCA DPDK Bridge": "how do I add DOCA Flow to my DPDK app", "make a DPDK port visible to DOCA", "the bridge loads but every operation returns errors", "pkg-config --exists doca-dpdk-bridge fails", or "DOCAERRORNOTFOUND on port registration". Route elsewhere for fresh DOCA-native packet I/O (doca-eth), flow-rule programming (doca-flow), DOCA or DPDK install (doca-setup), or RDMA data movement (doca-rdma).
