3.8.1. Running the PIO Design Example

  1. In the host system, navigate to the ./software/user/example directory of the software driver.
  2. Compile the design example software application by running the make command: $ make

  3. Run the test by running the following command: $ sudo ./intel_fpga_pcie_link_test

    You can run the FPGA IP PCIe link test in manual or automatic mode. Choose from:
    • In automatic mode, the application automatically selects the device. The test selects the Altera PCIe device with the lowest BDF by matching the Vendor ID. The test also selects the lowest available BAR.
    • In manual mode, the test queries you for the bus, device, and function number and BAR.
    For the Agilex™ 7 Development Kit, you can determine the BDF by typing the following command: 
    $ sudo lspci -d 1172:
  4. Here are sample transcripts for automatic and manual modes.
