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 Dave,

Tried the Linux command lspci and nothing was listed. The alive LED on the pcie board is flashing so I assume that the board is working. I have now tried another demo this time using a c4gx_qsys_ocie_gen1x4.sof file.

The PC I am using is a HP I will try a Dell to see if it works in that, just wondering if it is a speed issue or something to do with the pcie slot or something.

Cheers

Hugh
