Honored ContributorHi Bob,
I'm trying to create a PCIe endpoint on my Arria V starter board and trying to use the altpcie_demo_64.exe from the altera ref design to enumerate and do read/write to the fpga endpoint, but I'm getting all kinds of problems from the altpcie_demo not working...to the blue screen followed by my pc crashing. Can you assist since you've gotten the endpt working on your Arria V? Here's some of the things I'm doing: 1) following the Arria V Hard IP PCI express users guide (v.13.1 - Ch 3) I created the PCIe endpt and instantiated it making sure that I mapped to the correct fpga pins for the hard pcie IP. 2) Before, configuring the fpga I run the altpcie_demo_64 and the gui reports 78 devices. I also checked the device manager and only see the Jungo driver installed. 3) I program the fpga and then run the altpcie which reports 79 devices with one of the devices having the correct PCIe device and vendor ID - so this kinda tells me the PC has enumerated the fpga, right? However, the gui is greyed out so I can't do any read or write transactions to the fpga. Also, I noticed that the device manager has detected the Arria V dev kit - so that's good. However, sometimes I get the msg that the device doesn't have enough memory when I look at the devkit in the pc's device manager. Does this make any sense???? Sometimes it says the driver for the kit is working fine. Did you use the same Arria V starter board and did you use the altpcie_demo_64 too? I'd appreciate it a lot if you could share your wisdom in getting me past this hurdle of getting actual traffic going between the pc and the fpga. Thanks, Peter
