5.1. CvP Driver Support
You can develop your own custom CvP driver for Linux using the sample Linux driver source code provided by Altera.
Note: The Linux driver provided by Altera is not a production driver. You must adapt this driver to your design's strategy.
Note: CvP Downstream Driver is no longer supported from Quartus version 22.2. Altera recommends you to use Open Source Linux CvP Upstream Driver.
Note: Open Source Linux CvP Upstream Driver: After you access the link, you have to select the kernel version to download. Refer to the Installing the Upstream Open Source CvP Driver in Linux System section for steps on how to download and install the CvP upstream driver.
