6.1.5.1. Installing Open Source CvP Driver in Linux Systems

There are 2 types of CvP drivers supported. Refer to CvP Support for Intel Agilex Device Family Table in CvP Modes for the recommendation of CvP driver for the supported tiles in the FPGA. The installation of CvP driver only needs to be done once in the same kernel version.
  • Downstream open source CvP Driver
  • Upstream open source CvP Driver
