Embedded Software and Tools for Intel® SoC FPGA
The Intel® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite (SoC EDS) is a comprehensive tool suite for embedded software development on Intel® SoC FPGAs. It comprises of development tools, utility programs, and design examples to jump-start firmware and application software development.
What's New
Starting with Intel® SoC EDS v20.3 Pro and onwards, the components are released to GitHub and Rocketboards.org. Customers can download exactly what they require, upgraded versions with latest features, bug fixes and security patches. Components are released more frequently enabling faster and better tracking of code changes.
Intel® SoC EDS Pro & Standard Edition and Arm* Development Studio for Intel® SoC FPGA are now separate downloads and can be downloaded from the same page.
License Activation
After you have installed Arm* DS, you can start the Arm* DS Intel® SoC FPGA edition by opening the license manager from the help menu. Choose 'Add License', then select the 'Enter a serial number or activation code' to obtain a license default option. You are then prompted for an Arm* license serial number or activation code entry. For a more detailed guide on licensing, please refer to the Intel® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite (SoC EDS) user guide.
