Does NDK leverage hardware accelerators (PA etc)

Hi,

The LTE stack L2 layer that we are running on Nyquist (C6670) has to handle lot of network traffic. So we want to use hardware accelerators for network packet handling and spare the Core-pac for LTE stack functionality.

We plan to use NDK for network functionality.  The below discussions state that NDK is complete software stack which talks to Ethernet via NIMU driver.

1. Is there any recent developments in NDK to leverage the hardware accelerators in order to reduce the load on the c66x cores?

But the above links are more than an year old. So I am just curious to know is there any enhancements in NDK to offload some functionalities to hardware.

2. If I really want to get the advantage of hardware accelerators in network communication, can I use NDK for network stack functionalities like IP packet reassembly etc?

Thanks & Regards,
