    Hie, The altpcie_demo_64 is only to be used with Windows. Are you using Windows OS or Linux? The application itself only performs MWr and Mrd about 10-25 times. You should also specify the BDF correctly (per your windows system) to avoid the application from being crashed. Please check if you are using Windows OS and specified the BDF correctly.

    Hello Nathan,

    Thanks for response. Yes I am using Windows OS, Windows 7 64 bit. I have developed the codes in VHDL and used .jic file to program Cyclone IV Board.

    I didn't use Block Design File(BDF). Also i would like to know, does the demo application send 3DW Memory TLP or do they send 4DW format of Memory TLP.

    Hie, BDF = bus density function. The demo application is limited to sending single dwords. Regards, Nathan
