Software
FPGA Design Software
Intel® Quartus® Prime Software Suite is the free software tool for FPGA design and synthesis with the Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA. Designers can use this software for implementing custom FPGA Xcelerator Blocks as part of the OpenXLR8 methodology.
Arduino IDE
Get started using the XLR8 board with a simple interface for editing the firmware or sketches that will be uploaded to the 8-bit microcontroller.
PlatformIO
This open source, cross-platform IDE works with more than 500 different boards. PlatformIO provides additional features that may be more comfortable and familiar to experienced firmware developers.
