The HSDP-PCIe driver provides connectivity to the debug over
PCIe enabled FPGA hardware resource that is connected to the
Host PC via PCIe link. It acts as a bridge between the user-space
hw_server
application and the FPGA hardware. The
driver, depending on the FPGA design and the arguments specified to hw_server
, can function in mgmt mode or user mode. The
hardware design requirements for HSDP-over-PCIe for both mgmt and
user mode and their differences are specified in a later section. You must supply the
required parameters associated with the hardware design to the driver via a
configuration header file before compilation and module installation. The HSDP-PCIe driver for Linux can be downloaded from GitHub.
