Hi,

I am not sure, I understand your question correctly. Are you asking if you need to write an OS based driver for your custom application running on the FPGA connected through PCIe? Yes, you will need to do that, since a FPGA is very flexible and there are hundreds of use models. As far as I am aware of there is a Linux skeleton driver which can be used to develop an application specific driver. I do not think there is a Windows driver skeleton available.

Cheers,
