Programming the Image Core: Error - quartus_cvp is not recognized as an internal command.

Hi,

Do you install Quartus in your system? May I know if you have setup your system environment? If yes, could you share with me your system environment?

HI,

Have performed the step below? You may refer to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_cvp.pdf Chapter - Installing Jungo WinDriver in Linux Systems for more information

Installing Jungo WinDriver in Linux Systems

1. Navigate to <Quartus Prime installation path>/quartus/drivers/wdrvr/linux<32 or 64> 2.
2. Run the following commands:
   1. ./configure --disable-usb-support
   2. make
   3. su
   4. make install
3. You can change the permissions for the device file. For example, chmod 666 /dev/windrvr6.
4. For 64-bit Linux systems, set the Quartus_64BIT environment variable before you run quartus_cvp using the following command:

• export QUARTUS_64BIT=1

1. You can use the quartus_cvp command to download *core .rbf files to your FPGA. The following table lists the quartus_cvp commands for all modes

Hi John, thank you for your attention,

Actually, I used the sample Linux driver source code provided by Intel to program a custom CvP driver. After follow the installation instruction of https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/support-centers/devices/cfg-index/cfg-via-protocol.html, I tried execute the command quartus_cvp --vid=<Vendor ID> --did=<Device ID> xxx.core.rbf to to have access to the data passed to the pci through the board

Hi,

Since you are using the open source CvP driver, the instruction to performed it will be "cp <filename>.core.rbf /dev/altera_cvp". Please refer to README of the custom CvP driver source code folder.

In this case, when I apply the command have the error: insmod: ERROR: could not insert module ./altera_cvp.ko: Invalid module format

Makefile:12: recipe for target 'install' failed, as in the Figure. Even, making sure that the module is already inserted in the kernel (see Figure 2)

Hi,

Could you try to install the Quartus CvP from the Quartus installation to see if you are facing any issue?

Ok, I reinstalled the Quartus and apparently no problem was identified for the make install.

However when I try to execute the commands for accessed the CvP driver through the device file located at /dev /Altera_cvp, making a copy with cp <filename>.core.rbf / to dev/altera_cvp I get this error: Could not create common file '/ dev / Alter_cvp': Device or resource is busy as is illustrate in Figure.

Hi,

May I know if you are able make install the official code from Quartus which utilized the "quartus_cvp" command?

Hi,

I understand that you are using the open source code previously. If you go to <Quartus Prime installation path>/quartus/drivers/wdrvr/linux<32 or 64> then you will be able to make and configure the Official Quartus quartus_cvp command from the Quartus installation. Please follow the bellow step in order to install the PCIe driver before you are able to use quartus_cvp.
