The Xillybus Forum

Hi....

I would like to know how to install the xillybus driver in linux. Iam using red hat linux with kernel version 2.6.
I didn't get the driver file from xillybus. Please provide me the link of driver files for installation.

Hello,

The driver can be downloaded at the bottom of the PCIe's main download page: http://xillybus.com/pcie-download ("Code bundle for the host").

The installation of the driver is explained in the Getting started with Xillybus on a Linux host guide, section 2, available on the Documentation page (http://xillybus.com/downloads/doc/xilly ... _linux.pdf).

Regards,
Eli

Hi,

I have followed the tutorial but I cannot make it work, the Cyclone IV dev board is recognized in the BIOS, when running lspci I can see it but,
It does not appear in the /dev folder (/dev/xillybus_read_8) do you have any idea why this could happen?

Thanks

Hi,

Please verify with lspci -n that the Product ID of the FPGA card is 0xebeb. Just a way to make sure that the right thing is running on the card.

Also, please verify that the driver is loaded into the kernel with lsmod. You should see "xillybus" listed (possibly xillybus_core and xillybus_pcie if you have a recent driver). If they're not listed, please insmod the driver manually.

And last, look for Xillybus-related messages in the system log (/var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog, depending on your system's flavor).

Hope this helps,
Eli
