6.1.5.1.1. Downstream open source CvP Driver

  1. Download the open source Linux CvP driver from the CvP Driver.
  2. Navigate to the driver directory.
  3. Unzip the drive by typing the following command: 
    tar -xjvf <driver>.gz
  4. Run the installation by typing the following command: 
    sudo make
sudo make install
  5. Once the installation completed successfully, it generates the altera_cvp file under directory /dev/altera_cvp.
