3.2. System Requirements
- Validated servers:
- For the most current list of validated servers, refer to the Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Qualified Servers and Ordering Info web page.
- Validated Linux* releases:
- Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* (RHEL) 7.6, kernel version 3.10.0-957
- Ubuntu* 18.04, kernel 4.15
- PACSign tool requires Python 3.0
- Open Programmable Acceleration Engine (OPAE) tools require Python 2.7
You can use the same server for all development, including the following activities:
- Developing software
- Running sample programs and diagnostics
- Creating and simulating AFUs
- Generating the loadable AFU images
Note:
- The system you use to compile the hardware design must have at least 48 GB of free memory.
- Known good software and hardware combination configurations can be found at the Intel FPGA Acceleration Hub Software Download Intel web page.
- Software dependencies are downloaded through the internet by the installer.
