Supported Intel FPGA Developmental Tools
The Quartus® Prime software suite supports the following Intel FPGA development tools:
- Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition : Simulates FPGA designs using Intel® -specific simulation libraries. It includes all features of Siemens EDA Questa* Core, including behavioral simulation, HDL test benches, and Tcl scripting.
- Intel® Advanced Link Analyzer : Analyzes jitter/noise and evaluates high-speed serial link performance. It is an ideal predesign tool supporting Intel FPGA IBIS-AMI standards and enhanced models to help you understand how Intel® FPGA solutions can fit your system requirements.
- Intel® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite : A comprehensive tool suite for embedded software development on Intel® SoC FPGAs.
- Ashling* RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs : Integrated development environment for creating embedded applications on the RISC-V-based Nios® V soft processors and the Arm*-based hard processor system.
- Intel® HLS Compiler : A high-level synthesis (HLS) tool that accepts untimed C++ code as an input and generates production-quality register transfer level (RTL) code optimized for Intel® FPGAs. This tool accelerates verification time over RTL by raising the abstraction level for FPGA hardware design. Models developed in C++ have typically verified orders of magnitude faster than RTL.
- DSP Builder for Intel® FPGAs : Supports a model-based design flow from algorithms to hardware in a common environment.
- Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit : Enables you to target FPGAs for heterogeneous acceleration and simulate entire system flows by abstracting some parts of the hardware.
- Intel® Simics® simulator for Intel® FPGAs : A full-system simulator that supports defining, developing, and deploying virtual platforms.
- FPGA AI Suite : Provides several components to help in enabling Artificial Intelligence (AI) and creating optimized Intel FPGA AI platforms efficiently.
- Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator : Estimates your design's power consumption and provides thermal design parameters for Intel FPGA devices, such as Agilex™ 7 and Stratix® 10.
