Introduction

It's possible to use the FPGA CycloneV throught PCIe without writing any driver on the APF6_SP

Kernel configuration

$ make linux-menuconfig

    Device Drivers  ---> 
        <*> Userspace I/O drivers  --->
            <M>   Generic driver for PCI 2.3 and PCI Express cards

Mounting the uio

• First load the uio_pci_generic driver:

$ modprobe uio_pci_generic

• Then bind the FPGA PCIe with following command:

$ echo "1172 e001" &>> /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id
