Communicating API in a host computer to the data generator IP in Arria 10 FPGA

[Sijith]

Hi,

I want to use the Data Generator IP to generate data and send that data to the DDR memory. Then have to do a PCIe DMA transfer  of the data to a host windows computer (Windows OS 10). For sending data from Data Generator IP to the DDR4 and doing DMA transfer from the DDR4 to the memory of host computer, I am planning to use the PCIe DMA transfer example (given in chapter 7 of attached document). But to generate data in the IP, I assume we needed an API in the host computer? (the host computer is connected to FPGA through PCIe as well as USB).

 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683609/21-3/data-pattern-generator-ip-api....

this document talks about the API’s for this.

But I would like to know how to get a “.DLL” file and driver file for this.

Also can I use the API for PCIe DMA transfer and API for Data Generator IP simultaneously from the host computer?

Hello,

Is this thread post a similar issue as this one? https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-High-Level-Design/Creating-a-new-API-for-an-FPGA-design-with-Data-Generator-IP/m-p/1467437#M3065

Yup. absolutely.
