10 years agoAltera Cyclone V PCIe Development Board Write Memory to Root Complex
Hello Altera-Forum,
This post is about processing receiving unrequested data from an Altera Cyclone V development board IP core. The root complex is an Intel Haswell-CPU/SOC. The development board is plugged in the PCIe x16 slot. The PCIe specification is allowing the development board may to act as a master in the bus and send a write request TLP (Transaction Layer Packet). Is there a coding example existing for Linux to do this? Where will be the data written to, when the TLP has address 0x0 defined? The used OS is allowing to allocate a DMA memory map. Where in the allocated memory may appear the incoming data? Should I ask all this in the Intel developer forums? with my regards Apple Cake
