Configuration via Protocol
Configuration via Protocol (CvP) is a configuration scheme that allows you to configure the FPGA fabric via the PCI Express (PCIe*) interface for 14 nm Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGAs, 20 nm Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs, and 28 nm Arria® V and Stratix® V FPGAs. The autonomous PCIe hard intellectual property (IP) allows the embedded PCIe core to operate before the FPGA is fully configured. This enables the FPGAs to easily meet the PCIe wake-up time requirement.

Driver and Tools |
|
| Configuration via Protocol (CvP) - Software driver code (14 nm and 10 nm devices) | This is the code for an open-source Linux* driver to configure the core of an FPGA via CvP. You can use this open-source code as a reference when writing your own driver, or customize this driver to perform CvP operations on your system. Refer to Intel® Agilex™ Device Configuration via Protocol (CvP) Implementation User Guide or Intel® Stratix® 10 Configuration via Protocol (CvP) Implementation User Guide for more details about CvP driver support. |
| Configuration via Protocol (CvP) - Software driver code (28 nm and 20 nm devices) | This is the code for an open-source Linux driver to configure the core of an FPGA via CvP. You can use this open-source code as a reference when writing your own driver, or customize this driver to perform CvP operations on your system. |
