Creating a new API for an FPGA design with Data Generator IP

Hi, I am working on a hardware design in my DE5A-NET-DDR4 fpga using the Quartus Prime Pro tool. In the system builder, I have the Intel Data Generator IP. I have to have an API in my host computer...

Hi,


We don’t have any driver for Data generator IP with NIOS or HPS.

If I assume you want to use Data generator IP to generate the data at FPGA side and sending data to HPS/NIOS peripherals then you can use in between the Data generator-->DMA-->HPS/NIOS DDR memory.

For this you can make use of the DMA driver API's with HPS/NIOS.


If you are looking to write own custom driver API, then you can refer the guideline given for Developing Programs Using the Hardware Abstraction Layer & Developing Device Drivers for the Hardware Abstraction Layer.

Reference is given on https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683282/current/developing-device-drivers-for-the-hardware-60162.html
