AN690 PCIe Gen3 x8 MM DMA altera_dma driver issues

I'm having issues getting AN690 up and running on my A10 GX Dev Kit. I can successfully program the device and see the device listed when I run lspci -vv (as seen in the screenshot below) Howe...

Per AN690 section 1.6.1 Installing the Linux Software, you will expect to get an error message when you install the driver for the first time.

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/an/an690.pdf


This may not the same error as what you encounter, just to ensure after you have installed the driver again, you are failed to execute the ./run?


For the AN829, did you add the device family after the command? For example: "sudo ./install arra10"

Hi, I get the "ERROR: Module altera_dma does not exist in /proc/modules." message every time I try to run install. It always fails on the altera_dma_load stage of the Makefile. If I manually edit altera_dma_load to assign a $major value that is not currently in use by any device listed in /proc/devices then the driver will load. However when I execute ./run I just get no response (i.e. I don't see a print out of the options). It just sits there doing nothing.

For AN829 I have been executing "sudo ./install arria10".

Any other suggestions or troubleshooting steps I can try?
