Honored ContributorLinux DMA driver for Altera
Hi all,
we have altera stratix v fpga board, altera provides a software dma application which uses the dma engine present on the fpga side. I would like to do dma from my pc to fpga memory using dma engine of linux. Are there any drivers already available or need to be developed from scratch? Any pointers would be very useful?2 Replies
Altera_ForumHi ,
Are you using the PCIe DMA? If so you can try using https://www.jungo.com/st/products/windriver/wd_linux/- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- Hi , Are you using the PCIe DMA?

When i am trying to call this api dma_request_channel its failing. Any ideas where I am going wrong or any example would be quite helpful to me?
