2. Introduction

Before using this guide, refer to the user guide that corresponds with your card: Intel® Acceleration Stack User Guide: Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000 or Intel® Acceleration Stack User Guide: Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000-N . Both user guides provide an overview of the capabilities of the Intel FPGA PAC N3000 and Intel FPGA PAC N3000-N, referred to as N3000 throughout this document. Both user guides provide instructions for installation and setup of hardware and software components of the stack, including the Open Programmable Acceleration Engine (OPAE) tools used in running diagnostic tools and remotely loading FPGA images. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the concepts developed and to complete the installation and setup procedures covered in both user guides.

To perform AFU development, install the Intel® Acceleration Stack for Development as described in the user guide that corresponds with your card: Intel® Acceleration Stack User Guide: Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000 or Intel® Acceleration Stack User Guide: Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000-N .
