Kintex 7 PCIe Reference Design

(TODO better description)

1. Build the driver in software/driver and copy the provided driver rules from the etc directory to the /etc/ directory on your system with cp ../etc/udev/rules.d/* /etc/udev/rules.d/
2. Build the hardware with make remake-board and program the board over jtag with make program
3. Load the driver after reboot with sudo ./load_driver.sh (in the software folder)
4. Test FPGA design with python test_harness.py (in the software folder)

A trimmed down verison of this reference design:

Important changes to get the reference driver to build:

1. In driver/xdma/xdma_base.c file replace all of __dev prefixes with __ (for example __devinit --> __init, __devexit --> __exit)

2. In driver/xrawdata0/Makefile and driver/xrawdata1/Makefile add this line to end of file: KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS := $(src)/../xdma/Module.symvers

3. Change device number to 0x7042 in driver/xdma/xdma_base.c.
