stratix v dsp fpga board, how to enable aommunication through PCIe edge connector

[uzumaki]

When I insert the Stratix V DSP dev board through PCIe slot the board powers up but i have no idea how to establish communication between FPGA and HOST PC. I tried the .qsys file of gen 1 and complied and generated .sof file but in qprogrammer in hardware section it is showing "no hardware detected".

can somebody tell me how to establish communication through PCIe Edge connector of FPGgga board

Hi uzumaki,

After compiling the design and generating the sof file, you have to program the sof file into the Devkit. Programmer showing "no hardware detected" indicates that the JTAG does not detect the hardware connected to it. Please ensure that you have connect the On-Board USB-Blaster II to the board and power on the board. The On-Board USB Blaster allows the configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable which connects directly between the USB port on the board (J7) and a USB port on a PC running the Quartus Prime software.

You may find the detailed Board Setup steps in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/stratix/v-gs.html

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply 

But my question is how to configure board through PCIe edge connector , I have configured using USB Blaster by writing its driver given by intel solutions, but I'm not able to find any driver files for PCIe for linux based system Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

If you find any PCIe driver for linux system please let me know

Hi uzumaki,

I believe I may have misinterpreted your previous message. Please let me know if this is correct. Do you mean that you want to configure the FPGA fabric through the PCIe link and you are looking for a Linux driver for this configuration mode?

If this interpretation is correct, you may need to develop your own custom CvP driver for Linux using the sample source code provided for our customer. The sample driver is written in C and can be downloaded from the Configuration via Protocol webpage - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/configuration/cfg-via-protocol.html.

This is the code for an open-source Linux driver to configure the core of an FPGA via CvP. You can use this open-source code as a reference when writing your own driver, or customize this driver to perform CvP operations on your system.

Please note that the Linux driver provided by Intel is not a production driver. You must adapt this driver to your design's strategy.

Should you require assistance with the CVP driver flow, please refer to the detailed instructions provided in this user guide.

Thanks.
