Arria 10 PCIe Gen3x8 DMA(AN 829 ) - Linux Driver Error " Couldn't open the device"

Hi all, We were trying to install the DMA test driver and run the Linux DMA software as mentioned in "AN 829: PCI Express* Avalon®-MM DMA Reference Design" under "1.2.7. Installing the DMA Test Dri...

    Thank for your following up on this issue, SK.

    Our issue got resolved, on setting the base class code (upper byte at offset 0Bh in the PCIe configuration space) to 0xFF (Device does not fit any defined class). We did not have to change our host device or OS.

    We were able to successfully run the Linux DMA software as mentioned in "AN 829: PCI Express Avalon -MM DMA Reference Design" document.

    Regards,

    Sachin

After reboot, do you able to see the FPGA PCIe is enumerated?


What is the output if you run the commands below?

lspci -nn | grep 1172


lspci -s 5:01.0 -vvv (assuming the BDF is 5.01.0).


Besides, you may try to type "make" compile the driver and then run it again.

Also, I compiled the driver again(using "make") and ran it. Still getting the same output of "Couldn't open the device." as before

Following are the commands that were used to compile and run (as root user):

- make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DARRIA10

- ./altera_dma_load

- ./run
