F-Tile PCIe Hard IP Linux Driver

[emrahener]

Hi,

F-Tile PCIe Hard IP Page below says there is a Linux driver for the IP. How Can I access the driver files / project ? Is there any SW example using this driver? Please specify the direct link.

Hi Vincent,

We will be using this IP as a 4x4 Gen4 Root Port and I am asking for drivers/ libraries/example sw we can use on HPS side. Not for device mode but for root port mode.   

-Will the those drivers Memory mapped  configuration port ?

-For Enumerating devices and assigning physical addresses is there any SW involvement or is it purely done by Fabric side ?

Kind Regards,

Hi Wincent,

When will 2023.2 be available ? My question was on driver availability. From your reply I understand that example HW design generation will be possible starting from 2023.2. Will HPS drivers for root port also be available at the same time ?

the date still TBC "to be confirm".

When it releases, feel free to resubmit a new ticket.
