Honored ContributorLinux PCIe DMA driver
Is there a recent (kernel4.12.12) PCIe DMA driver available to match the Altera PCIe DMA reference design (17.1)?

Thanks, I'm sorry, I should have been more specific...
I was thinking of the driver within the AN829_driver directory of design example at: https://cloud.altera.com/devstore/platform/17.1.2/pro/cyclone-10-gx-pcie-gen2-x4-dma/ It did not compile out of the box so I just wanted to make sure I had the latest version. If somebody built this driver it would be great to learn which kernel and gcc versions was used. - Altera_Forum

It was pretty simple actually, most of it was warnings, but the error was related to the date and time-stamp (gcc 6.4 is probably more strict than older versions). I got it compiled, but I'm having problems when loading the example design: https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58585

BTW this is the diff in case anybody should need it:

Hi,
If you are using a kit https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/cyclone-10-gx-development-kit.html , did you connect J12 to give enough supply? And did you recompile the hw design? If those have no effect, I recommend you to ask Intel's(Altera's) support. Regards, Kazu - Altera_Forum
Yes, it's the Cyclone 10GX development kit.
Yes, I have the J12 PCIe power connector connected to my PSU Yes, I tried both the enclosed master_image/top.sof file and re-built one using 17.1.0 Build 240. The resulting behavior is the same. This is what I tried:
After building using "Version 17.1.0 Build 240 10/25/2017 SJ Pro Edition" I get the resulting sof file in output_filestar xvf ../Cyclone10GX_PCIeGen2x4_DMA_17_1_2.par quartus_sh --restore 17.1.2/Cyclone10GX_PCIeGen2x4_DMA_17_1_2/Cyclone10GX_PCIeGen2x4_DMA_17_1_2.qar find . -name '*.sof'|xargs md5sum 726940bdd434031299372ceeb1cae16e ./master_image/top.sof
Load the pre-built sof:find . -name '*.sof'|xargs ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 petter petter 9061253 Mar 29 05:52 ./master_image/top.sof -rw-r--r-- 1 petter petter 9061249 May 9 22:52 ./output_files/top.sof
Boot the PCIe PC:quartus_pgm -c 'USB-BlasterII on zappa ' -m jtag -o p\;./master_image/top.sof@2
PC will not boot. Can't even get into BIOS. Power cycle the PC (which will also wipe out the FPGA configuration loaded via JTAG) PC boots and I'm able to log in. Load the self-built sof:pciebench~# rebootquartus_pgm -c 'USB-BlasterII on zappa ' -m jtag -o p\;./output_files/top.sof@2
Same result. PC will not boot. I have no problems booting the PC if I load one of my test designs containing some simple logic to flash the LEDs and read data from the FPGA using JTAG.pciebench ~# reboot
PC will boot fine, and I can log in. I will try to contact Altera to make sure I have the most recent example.quartus_pgm -c 'USB-BlasterII on zappa ' -m jtag -o p\;/work/petter/fpga/builds/tests/cyclone-10gx-dev-kit/ce725c4+/project.sof@2

I am having same problem. I am @ 4.15.0-213..I am working with Arria10 AVMM DMA IP. Could any body guide for its driver in linux. As alterawiki is closed I can't find Working drivers....if so it is ending with errors as mentioned above. Thankyou in advance
