PCIe 4.0 Example for Agilex 7 M-Series

[Denisa]

Hello, 

We purchased this Agilex 7 M-Series Dev Kit (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/agilex/agm039.html) for a project, and we're having trouble locating the design example for PCIe mentioned in the documentation. We could, however, identify an example in the documentation of the I-Series board, but the pin mapping is not straightforward. 

Could you please provide an example or documentation on configuring a basic design using the PCIe for the Agilex™ 7 FPGA M-Series Development Kit—HBM2e Edition (3x F-Tile & 1x R-Tile)? Also, is there any chance a BSP will be released for this dev kit? 

Thanks, 

Denisa

Hi,

For the Agilex 7 M-series HBM2e Example design and detail documentation..

You may refer to https://altera-fpga.github.io/rel-24.3.1/embedded-designs/agilex-7/m-series/pcie_rp/ug-pcie_rp-agx7m-hbm2e/#required-components 
Refer to the GitHub repository for the Quartus Project and Yocto Project files.

Let me know if anything there is not clear, and I could better assist.

Dear Wincent_Altera, 

Thank you very much for the pointers! After reviewing the documentation, I see that the provided example uses the FPGA as a root point. For my setup, I have a host server from which I want to connect to the FPGA board as an end point through PCIe. Is there an example of a design for this use case?

The host is a Lenovo workstation featuring  2x Intel Xeon Gold 6416H 4 PCIe 5.0 slots. I purchased this MCIO-PCIe adapter with two MCIO SFF-TA-1016 8i cables  to connect the FPGA board to the host.  So far, I cannot list the FPGA PCIe device from the host using the lspci command.

The host server has installed Rocky Linux 9.5 and Quartus 24.3. Is it necessary to run Ubuntu 20.04?

Thanks, 

Denisa
