My client makes instrumentation that uses PCIe to do data transfers at high speed. Currently, the system can do 8GB / second sustained on Linux and Windows 10 systems. We'd like to develop the same capability for use on the new high-end Mac Pro systems. The client has a custom PCIe controller that works in existing PC architecture systems.
As I understand it, DriverKit doesn't yet allow for the development of PCIe-based device drivers. My question is whether it is likely to be possible to do so in the future.
Will DriverKit allow the development of custom PCIe device drivers at some time?
PCIDriverKit is available in Xcode Version 11.4 beta (11N111s), headers are in there so I assume it will be released with Xcode 11.4.
Thanks for this update. I would much prefer to be able to work in userspace if it's possible.
Hi JSambrook,
How is your user space driver for PCIe device going on??
