1.1.6.5. Port Platform Module Device Driver

Similar to the FME driver, the FPGA Port (and AFU) driver (intel-fpga-afu.ko) is probed once the Port platform device is created. The main function of this module is to provide an interface for user-space applications to access the individual accelerators, including basic reset control on Port, AFU MMIO region export, DMA buffer mapping service, UMsg1 notification, and remote debug functions (see above).

1 UMsg is only supported through Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® Processor with Integrated FPGA.
