FPGARegs usage
- Write to a FPGA address: fpgareg addr value
# fpgaregs 1000 abcd
this will write 0xabcd (16bits only interface) at the FPGA internal address 0x1000
- Read a FPGA address: fpgareg addr
# fpgaregs 1000
this will read the address 0x1000

Changing FPGA IP's registers from Linux user space with fpgaregs
This tool allows you to access FPGA registers from linux userspace/console. This way you can easily debug your driver directly from the Linux console.
First, you have enable this tool in Buildroot (package selection for target):
$ make menuconfig
Once done, compile it:
$ make
The generated file is located in buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/fpgaregs-1.0/. Now you can copy it on your target. Then in linux, launch it like that:
# fpgaregs address (for read) or fpga address value (for write)
Examples:
Show register at internal FPGA address 0x0010:
# fpgaregs 10
Write 0x0123 to FPGA register 0x0020:
# fpgaregs 20 0123
