Supports altera devices, and tested on DE5, DE4, and DE2i boards.

Can you clarify this statement ... if you go to the UCSD web site, there is a discussion of Xilinx support, but nothing about Altera support. 

 

For example ...

So, does the riffa_2.1.zip file you link to contain install guides for the DE series boards? (I just wanted to clarify this before I downloaded the zip) 

 

Cheers, 

Dave

I see it in the "unzipped tree":

Thanks Slacker, I'll download and take a look at the zip. 

 

The RIFFA project looks to have done a nice clean job of making the PCIe interface easier to deal with, i.e., it provides a complete hardware+driver+user-space solution. 

 

I'll post my impression of it when I get a chance to test it. 

 

Cheers, 

Dave

Yes, it supports Altera Devices and it should state it on the website (i'll fix that).  

 

We're migrating to a new website in a couple of days and I guess that got left off!
