-Driver Compilation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To compile the DPAA2 PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
-following ``make`` command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
-   make config T=arm64-dpaa2-linuxapp-gcc install
-
-.. _dpaa2_testpmd_example:
-
-Running testpmd
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This section demonstrates how to launch ``testpmd`` with DPAA2 device
-managed by ``librte_pmd_dpaa2`` in the Linux operating system.
-
-#. Configure the resource container:
-
-   Configure resources in MC and create the DPRC container:
+Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+for details.
 
-   .. code-block:: console
+#. Running testpmd:
 
-      export the DPRC container
-      e.g. export DPRCT=dprc.2
+   Follow instructions available in the document
+   :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+   to run testpmd.
 
-#. Start ``testpmd`` with basic parameters:
+   Example output:
 
    .. code-block:: console
 
       ./arm64-dpaa2-linuxapp-gcc/testpmd -c 0xff -n 1 \
         -- -i --portmask=0x3 --nb-cores=1 --no-flush-rx
