Hardware

Hardware collects the driver-backed endpoints that connect Rogue to concrete firmware and PCIe data paths. These pages are rogue.hardware.*-first. They describe the low-level objects that bridge host software into stream or memory channels before higher-level protocol logic is applied.

Hardware selection is usually driven first by the platform and driver you have available, then by whether you need a stream DMA path, a memory-mapped path, or raw access to a device-specific endpoint.

The driver stack required to use these interfaces is available at:

Subtopics

  • Use AXI DMA Driver Wrappers for AXI DMA-backed stream and memory endpoints such as rogue.hardware.axi.AxiStreamDma and rogue.hardware.axi.AxiMemMap.

  • Use Raw Hardware Interface for raw hardware memory access through rogue.hardware.MemMap.

After choosing a hardware endpoint, continue with Protocols to select transport and framing behavior, then use Stream Interface or Memory Interface depending on the data path you are building.
