Intel® SoC development currently requires hardware such as the Intel Quartus® Prime development software you are using, the Intel SoC Embedded Development Suite (Intel SoC EDS) for software development, and an Intel development kit. .

 

Items to prepare

  • Intel Quartus Prime software Standard Edition or Pro Edition
  • Intel SoC Embedded Development Suite (Intel SoC EDS)
  • Hardware such as Intel development kits

 

Here, we will explain the hardware and software development environment required for developing Intel SoC FPGA.

 

development software

Quartus Prime Development Software

Intel SoCs (Cyclone® V SoC, Arria® V SoC) can now be started in your Quartus Prime.
Intel SoC is supported from Quartus II development software v13.0.

Also, the Lite Edition is for development up to Cyclone V SoC, so please prepare the Standard Edition (or Pro Edition) when developing Arria V SoC.

 

 

For the functions of each edition of the Quartus Prime development software, please check the manufacturer's website below.

Getting Started with Intel SoC Development

Now you are ready to develop Intel SoC.

Again, Intel SoCs can be developed using your existing Quartus Prime development software and familiar ARM system tools.
In addition, by using the DS-5 Intel SoC FPGA Edition of Intel SoC EDS, you can seamlessly link the advanced multi-core debugging capabilities of ARM DS-5 with Intel's Signal Tap logic analyzer for co-debugging (cross-trigger). can be done.

Intel SoC Community Portal Site

 

 

RocketBoards.org is a community portal for supporting Linux and open source software on Intel SoCs and increasing user productivity for partner SoC-based boards.

In this portal, we share information and materials that are essential for customers to develop Intel SoC using Linux, such as development board documents provided by Intel SoC partners, reference designs, Linux source code, and pre-built binaries. doing.
