Help with pci express drivers for virtex 6 fpga.
 

hi all,

i am new to this forum. i am doing a project on reading and writing to an fpga through pci express port. i have designed the fpga side with logicore virtex 6 endpoint configuration IP Logic. but i am new to drivers so can any one give me information where to start for pci express drivers for virtex 6 fpga.

thanks a lot.

The BIOS and kernel will take care of setting up the PCI registers and reading your unique vendor and device IDs. Your driver only needs to deal with the unique hardware in the chip. These can be mapped into either I/O space or memory space. Read Linux Device Drivers for the whole scoop on device drivers.

hi i read the linux device drivers and i wrote some code . but the problem now is that i have virtex 6 htg board with x8 pcie and i plugged it in a dell dimension e520 but i can not detect the pcie with lspci or any commmand. how can i detect it ?

Thanks a lot
