Stratix 10 MX FPGA dev. kit fails DMA link test under CentOS 7.0.1406 with kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64

Two questions

1. Though /dev/intel_fpga_pcie_drv is created, why link test always fails ? kernel log says module verification failed.

2. Why there is only one related log in /var/log/kern.log even though we tried many times and failed many times ?

 

[fpga@localhost example]$ ./intel_fpga_pcie_link_test

Hi,

 

To understand if this is a driver issue or the hardware is actually not detected, could you please run the command below, and see if the FPGA card is detected? If yes, which means the enumeration and link training seem like passed.

 

lspci -nn | grep 1172

 

What is BDF?

Hi,

The command didn't show anything.

And we tried the following commands, they also show nothing:

lspci -d 1172:000 -v

lspci -d 1172: -v

 

Besides, lspci -t -v didn't list any device with ID 1172.

Hi,

 

Seems like the host can't detect the end point. How do you program the FPGA? After program the FPGA, did you re-start or re-boot the PC?

Hi SK,

 

Yes, we did.

FPGA was connected to external power, and we reboot the Linux host after program.

One thing you probably can check is from the BIOS setting, where the Socket Configuration for IIO PCIe Port is x16 or something else. Or a quick check with other Host and see if this can be detected. This can help to isolate if there is any hardware dependency.
