Hardware

Download the ara2-sdk onto your host and extract it. It should create a folder named 'art'

Instructions are in the README_linux_aarch64.txt file inside the extracted folder.

Copy the 'art' folder to the Gateworks SBC with something like scp.

Verify the Kinara card is detected on the PCIe bus:

root@noble-venice:~/art/linux/aarch64/hw_utils# lspci
81:00.0 Processing accelerators: Device 1e58:0002 (rev 02)

Insert the uiodma module:

insmod art/linux/drivers/uiodma/uiodma.ko  
sudo echo "1e58 0002" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uiodma/new_id

Get Chip info:
