Error message

xillybus: pci_enable_device() failed. Aborting.

Meaning

The failure of a crucial stage in the initialization of a PCIe device causes this error message. Unless previous error messages imply that the hardware is in a shaky state, this should never happen.

Recommended action

This error should be reported, if it appears on a just booted system with FPGA just configured.

To get Xillybus working again, power the computer off, reconfigure the FPGA and power the computer on again.
