I have an FPGA board attached to a Qualcomm SM8650-based Android tablet through a USB4-to-PCIe adapter. The tablet can see the PCIe slot but not the FPGA itself, so the kernel needs a new driver that will let the system enumerate, configure and talk to the board. I will spell out the exact runtime features I need once development starts, but at minimum the driver must expose reliable low-latency communication and leave enough hooks for any additional self-test or accelerated-processing routines I later request. The board model is not one of the common Xilinx/Intel/Lattice options; I’ll provide the full datasheet, BAR layout and reference HDL so you can map registers, interrupts and DMA correctly. The tablet is running a customized Android build (newer than the standard 13 images), and I can supply the current kernel tree, defconfig and build scripts. Key expectations • Clean, well-commented kernel module (and DTS/DTSI edits if required) that compiles inside my AOSP tree for SM8650 • Successful enumeration of the device over the USB4-PCIe path, with working BAR mapping, IRQ handling and user-space access nodes (sysfs, char-dev or similar) • Step-by-step build and flashing instructions plus a simple test app showing data moving between the tablet and FPGA I will test on the physical hardware; payment milestones will follow proof of enumeration and then full functional exchange. Feel free to reference any prior work with PCIe, FPGA manager, or Qualcomm downstream kernels when we discuss the approach.

Hello, I will set up a dedicated kernel module for the qualcomm sm8650 kernel tree provided. the module will register the pci device id of the fpga using the details from the datasheet so the kernel can recognize the board during enumeration over the usb4 pcie path. i will configure the driver probe routine to request and map the bar regions with ioremap, set up interrupt handlers for irq lines and establish dma channels if supported by the fpga bar layout. device tree edits in dts may be required to define the pcie endpoint configuration, which will be cross checked with the qualcomm downstream kernel sources. once enumeration and resource mapping are verified, i will add a user space interface through a character device and optional sysfs entries to allow read and write operations from test applications. the driver will follow standard linux kernel practices with proper reference counting and error handling to ensure stability. a sample user app in c will demonstrate data transfer through mmap calls, validating bar and irq functionality. i will provide detailed instructions for compiling the driver within the aosp environment, rebuilding the kernel image and flashing it to the tablet. Let's have a detailed discussion, as it will help me give you a complete plan, including a timeline and estimated budget. I will share my portfolio in chat I look forward to hear from you.

Hi, I’ve worked on custom Linux/Android kernel modules for Qualcomm SoCs and PCIe devices, including boards that required fresh drivers outside the standard Xilinx/Intel ecosystem. I can help you bring your FPGA board online over the USB4-to-PCIe path by writing a clean, well-documented kernel driver that enumerates the device, maps BARs, handles interrupts, and exposes low-latency user-space access (via char-dev, sysfs, or both). My approach: Integrate the driver into your SM8650 AOSP kernel tree with DTS/DTSI updates as needed. Implement reliable register/DMA/IRQ handling per your datasheet and BAR map. Provide step-by-step build/flash instructions plus a lightweight test app to verify FPGA ↔ tablet communication. Keep the module extensible so later self-test or accelerated routines can be added without rework. I’ve previously delivered PCIe driver work for Qualcomm downstream kernels and embedded hardware where enumeration was not automatic, so I’m familiar with the quirks of Android kernel builds and cross-compilation. Let’s get your FPGA talking cleanly to the tablet. — Juan
