Xilinx XDMA Debug Guide: Driver and IP

Introduction

This document, Xilinx Answer 71435, provides essential guidance for debugging the Xilinx DMA Subsystem for PCI Express (XDMA) IP. It offers practical tips and techniques to resolve issues encountered when working with the XDMA IP and its associated drivers.

The XDMA IP is designed to deliver high-performance Scatter Gather (SG) direct memory access (DMA) over the PCI Express interface, enabling efficient data transfers between a host PC and a Xilinx FPGA. This guide delves into the XDMA architecture, its operational mechanisms, and the intricacies of its driver software.

Key Aspects Covered
