If you later move beyond QEMU, these OSS projects may be of interest.

> virtual environment consisting of QEMU, LINUX and GHDL glued alltogether by a small TCP based protocol. It allows PCIE devices to be implemented as standard userland processes, answering actual PCIE requests coming from QEMU. It supports PCIE configuration headers, requests, memory read/write operations and MSI. Different abstractions are provided to simplify the implementation of PCIE devices.

> RIFFA (Reusable Integration Framework for FPGA Accelerators) is a simple framework for communicating data from a host CPU to a FPGA via a PCI Express bus. The framework requires a PCIe enabled workstation and a FPGA on a board with a PCIe connector. RIFFA supports Windows and Linux, Altera and Xilinx, with bindings for C/C++, Python, MATLAB and Java. On the software side there are two main functions: data send and data receive ... Users can communicate with FPGA IP cores by writing only a few lines of code.
