Cyclone IV GX FPGA Development board not recognised by PC when in PCIe slot

Just received a Cyclone IV GX FPGA Development kit and downloaded the demo c4gx_PCIe_gen1_x1.sof to it but when the PC boots up id does not recognise the board. I am unable to install a driver for it...

Hi Hugh,

Thanks for confirming that your kit works, and that you are downloading a design that should contain a PCIe end-point.

Would you mind booting Linux using a LiveCD and typing lspci at a command prompt?

Take a read of the PDF document linked in this thread ... it has some PCIe test notes ...

The PDF does not include your board, but a couple of other PCIe end-point designs on Cyclone IV and Stratix IV boards.

Cheers,

Dave
