Building the OPAE Intel FPGA driver (out-of-tree)

============================================

The Intel FPGA driver included with OPAE SDK releases is packaged as an RPM or

DEB package as well as a source tarball. Starting with OPAE SDK release of 1.4,

the driver can be built from source out-of-tree but requires the following

packages:

For RPM package managers (Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, etc.)

* kernel-headers

* kernel-devel

* gcc

* make

For DEB package managers (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.)

* kernel-headers-generic

* gcc

* make

After installation of necessary distribution packages, follow the steps in the

example below to build the Intel Kernel driver.

_NOTE_ The example below references Intel FPGA Kernel driver version 2.0.2. but

can be applied to later versions.

``` {.bash}

tar zxf opae-intel-fpga-driver-2.0.2-1.tar.gz

cd opae-intel-fpga-driver-2.0.2

make

```
