How to run PCIe Gen 5 Design Example using Altera FPGA device

[Wincent_Altera]

This forum provides a recommended guide for setting up a PCIe Gen5x16 endpoint using the Agilex™ 7 I-Series FPGA Development Kit and a Linux host computer. This includes specifying the Intel FPGA hardware, development tools, compatible Linux distributions, and driver support that are needed.

This design is based on:

• Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software Version 24.2 onwards
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• Kernel version: 5.15.0-52 compiled for the x86_64 architecture
• GCC version: 11.4

Please refer to the attachment for:

• Guide: GettingStarted_R_tile_Gen5_V2.pdf
• Example Design: project.qar
• PIO Driver : software.zip (unzip and put this under same directory as project.qar, no additional installation is needed)
