Honored ContributorHi, and thanks for the replies.
The name of the board is S5-PCIe-HQ. I am attempting the example on the PDF on how to create the PCIe end-point using Quartus 14.0 and on Ubuntu 12.04. I am having problems when it comes to adding the ALTPLL and other components as the MegaWizard plug-in manager does not exist on 14.0 it seems. I have read that it is replaced by Ip Catalog , but when I try to use that , it does nothing. Any suggestions? How exactly does the Avalon MM Base Address Registers work. I am trying to fully understand. For example, to get the board to access my computer's RAM via PCIe, must I put the RAM address there? or If I wish to talk to another PCIe device on my computer, how does it work? Thanks again for your help.
