The simple module @i{fmc-trivial} is just a simple client that
registers an interrupt handler. I use it to verify the basic mechanism
of the FMC bus and how interrupts work. It's worth reading, but it's not

of the FMC bus and how interrupts work.
Additionally, if you pass the @code{file=} module argument, it will
load the file from @i{/lib/firmware} and reprogram the FPGA with the
new binary. It is almost as useful as a user-space loader.
I plan to add a simple char driver with a dreaded @i{ioctl}
method to allow easy user-space access to FMC boards, irrespective
of the carrier they are living on.
This driver is worth reading, but it is not worth describing here.
