Intel® Open FPGA Stack
The Intel® Open FPGA Stack (Intel® OFS) is a scalable, source-accessible hardware and software infrastructure delivered via git repositories that enables you to customize your own unique acceleration platform solutions. This second-generation hardware and software infrastructure is being used by Intel and selected third-party platforms featuring our Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA, Intel® Agilex™ FPGA and future Intel® FPGA device families.
How Does Intel® Open FPGA Stack (Intel® OFS) Make My Project Easier?
Board Developers
Use the source-accessible, modular infrastructure to quickly create application specific FPGA Interface Managers (FIM) tailored to the differentiated needs of their boards and target workloads.
Software Developers
Leverage the Open Programmable Acceleration Engine (OPAE) software development kit, libraries and APIs along with the up streamed and fully open-sourced kernel drivers that target the FIM and accelerate integration into common application frameworks.
Application Developers
Tap into a proven infrastructure and growing ecosystem to achieve greater portability and return on investment for their workloads across a growing number of Intel® OFS-based platforms.
Leverage oneAPI with Intel OFS
Intel OFS includes support for development with high-level design languages (HLD) like oneAPI so you can easily customize your board support package to build applications on Intel, custom, or 3rd party platforms. HLD design languages like oneAPI allow you to use familiar programming languages like Data Parallel C++ integrated into familiar development environments.
