    Supports altera devices, and tested on DE5, DE4, and DE2i boards.

    Can you clarify this statement ... if you go to the UCSD web site, there is a discussion of Xilinx support, but nothing about Altera support.

    For example ...

    https://sites.google.com/a/eng.ucsd.edu/matt-jacobsen/riffa/riffa_2_0/setup-guide

    So, does the riffa_2.1.zip file you link to contain install guides for the DE series boards? (I just wanted to clarify this before I downloaded the zip)

    Cheers,

    Dave

    I see it in the "unzipped tree":

    ===

    ~/Downloads/riffa_2.1

    > tree -L 2 source

    source

    Thanks Slacker, I'll download and take a look at the zip.

    The RIFFA project looks to have done a nice clean job of making the PCIe interface easier to deal with, i.e., it provides a complete hardware+driver+user-space solution.

    I'll post my impression of it when I get a chance to test it.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Yes, it supports Altera Devices and it should state it on the website (i'll fix that).

    We're migrating to a new website in a couple of days and I guess that got left off!
