Emulate and Debug Your Design
The Intel® FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL™ software (also referred to as the emulator or the FPGA emulator) assesses the functionality of your kernel. The emulator supports 64-bit Windows and Linux operating systems. On Linux systems, the GNU C Library (glibc) version 2.15 or later is required.
- You cannot use the execution time of an emulated design to estimate its execution time on an FPGA. Furthermore, running an emulated design is not a substitute for natively running a functionally equivalent C/C++ implementation on an x86-64 host.
Emulation does not support cross-compilation to ARM® processor. To run emulation on a design that targets an ARM SoC device, emulate on a non-SoC board (for example, intel_a10gx_pac or intel_s10sx_pac). When satisfied with the emulation results, you can target your design on an SoC board for subsequent optimization steps.

Emulator Installation
The Intel FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL software is installed as part of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit. For information about how to install this base kit, refer to the Intel® oneAPI Toolkits Installation Guides.
