4 Running the Demo

This section describes how to install and use the PCIe Demo application. The PolarFire PCIe demo application is a simple GUI that runs on the host PC to communicate with the PolarFire PCIe EndPoint device. It provides PCIe link status, driver information, and demo controls. The PolarFire PCIe demo application invokes the PCIe driver installed on the host PC and provides commands to the driver according to the selection made.

This section also describes how to connect the kit to the Host PC PCIe slot. If the host PC PCIe slot is not available, the DMA between DDR3L/DDR4 and LSRAM can be exercised through UART IF.
