The HSDP-PCIe driver provides connectivity to the debug over PCIe enabled FPGA
hardware resource that is connected to the Host PC via PCIe link. It acts as a bridge
between the user-space hw_server
application and the
FPGA hardware. The driver, depending on the FPGA design and the arguments specified to
hw_server
, can function in mgmt mode or user mode.
The hardware design requirements for HSDP-over-PCIe for both mgmt and user mode and
their differences will be specified in a later section. You must supply the required
parameters associated with the hardware design to the driver via a configuration header
file before compilation and module installation. The HSDP-PCIe driver for Linux will be
provided for download on GitHub at a later date or contact Xilinx Support for driver delivery.
