Windows 10/11 PCIe Driver for Cyclone V Memory Mapped design

Is anyone aware of any other driver platforms other than Jungo that support a PCIe interface into Intel’s FPGAs? We are implementing two peripherals in a PXI Express (Compact PCIe) rackmount solution. The peripherals both are using a Cyclone V GX FPGA and are identical from a PCIe backplane standpoint.

Hopefully, considering the importance of the PCIe platform, Intel has come up with a standardized driver to support the PCIe interface into their FPGAs. I see this as an issue that should be a priority to Intel.

We are running into ongoing issues with Jungo in terms of responsiveness as well as the capabilities of their drivers. Most recently, we have encountered issues with getting two peripherals that both are PCIe based (Gen2 x4) working in the same chassis.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,


    Here are a few options you may want to consider:


    1. Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL: As mentioned earlier, this software development kit includes drivers for PCIe communication between the host processor and the FPGA. It supports various Intel FPGA families, including Cyclone V GX, and can be used with Linux and Windows operating systems.
    2. Intel FPGA Interface Manager (FIM) for PCIe: This software component provides a standardized interface for PCIe communication between a host processor and an Intel FPGA. It can be used with various operating systems and programming languages.
    3. Intel FPGA PCIe Root Port Driver: This driver enables communication between an Intel FPGA and the PCIe root port on a host processor. It supports various Intel FPGA families and can be used with Linux and Windows operating systems.
    4. Intel FPGA IP for PCI Express: This intellectual property (IP) core provides a complete PCIe solution for Intel FPGAs. It includes a configurable PCIe endpoint core and a PCIe root port core. The IP core comes with drivers for various operating systems.
