Altera PCI Express Development Kit: Linux DMA Driver

Oh, I've never even seen that before, but I think AN456 is the same as what I'm talking about, which came on a disc (windoze) with the AGX development kit. Furthermore, when you create a new PCIe megafunction, Quartus generates a chaining dma example design in <mf_name>_examples/chaining_dma. I use that project file and set the device and pin-outs according to these reference designs. Also, I can only get it to work by using data/descriptor, and in the aforementioned verisions. Are you using one *.pof from the application note, or are you compiling and building your own?
