1. How can I get the PCIe (Avalon-MM interface) linux kernel drivers for stratix 10 dev kit? 2. Is this driver compatible with CentOS 6 (linux kernels version 2.6). And if not how can I have the correct version drivers?

More details on question :

In the user guide, UG-20033, in section 2.6 it seems like I have to generate an example design first. Is this the only way to get this driver?

I'm an embedded sw developer and I'll be working on host pcie application using stratix 10 dev kit. And I'm new to Altera/intel.

Can you please help?

Thank you,

Asli

    Hi,

    Yes, you are right, when you generate the example design of PCIe from the IP GUI, it comes with a driver, this driver is provided as is or as it is.
