non-root access?

[hmaarrfk]

Are you accepting PRs that would enable non-root access to the device driver?

Seems like we should be able to setup a rule with udev to assign the devices to belong to a certain group.

[kewlcreatures]

is this for QDMA?

[hmaarrfk]

Yes

So my application starts as a non root user and I faced the same issue of not being able to access the /Dev/QDMa queues. I changed the access to chmod 777 for those /Dev/QDMa and it works for me.

[hmaarrfk]

doing chmod is fine if you, the developer are using your own machine. but it is quite annoying to tell others to do it.

[kewlcreatures]

Yes I agree. Its a very good suggestion to allow non-root access

It would be great to add it to the repository, since it appears that there used to be something like that (see 8d603ef).

What I ended up going with was creating a "/etc/udev/rules.d/60-xdma.rules" which was just:

SUBSYSTEM=="xdma" GROUP="xdma"

Was the above suggesions worked?

We've used the solution I listed on my team without issue for the past several months.

xdma, so qdma may be different.
