RE: [PATCH 1/2] misc: add CARMA DATA-FPGA Access Driver

=20

This driver allows userspace to access the data processing=20
FPGAs on the OVRO CARMA board. It has two modes of operation:
=20
1) random access
=20
This allows users to poke any DATA-FPGA registers by using mmap to map
the address region directly into their memory map.

I needed something similar, but used pread() and pwrite()
to request the transfers.
While this does require a system call per transfer, it allows
the driver to use dma (if available) to speed up the request.
In my case doing single cycle transfers would be too slow.
