Hi thepancake,

I've had problems to program the FPGA fabric image. I use the driver from 11SP2_CvP_Deliverables.zip and replace the Jungo driver fucntions with Linux pci_read_config_byte, pci_write_config_byte, pci_write_config_dword API.

CvP mechanism works intermittently on my Stratix V ES Development Kit and does not work at all on my Stratix V GX prototype (FPGA registers are read back all 1's). The CvP Initialization and Update mode is set. Altera tech support states that their official driver program will be available at the release of Quartus II v12 at late May 2012.

I'd appreciate to hear if the driver works for you and whether you had to make modifications.
