Hi,

Well, the data isn't really stored in a file -- the driver creates a file that is more like a pipe file. It's like reading from standard input: The data that is read was never stored on the disk, and still file I/O API is used to access it.

I hope this clarified things.

Eli

Hi,

I just found out about xillybus and looks a lot like what I need to do.
Transfer Data stream from FPGA to Linux.

Now my question is , on the linux side is the data copied automatically into a file without any control by the application ?

Thanks,
