1.1. Introduction

This guide will provide examples of how to create and debug Bare Metal projects using the ARM® DS-5 Altera Edition included in the Altera® SoC Embedded Design Suite (SoC EDS) User Guide.

The Altera® SoC EDS is a comprehensive tool suite for embedded software development on Altera SoC devices. It includes the hardware abstraction library (HWLibs), ARM® DS-5 Altera Edition (DS-5 AE), tool chain, and examples for a Bare Metal development environment.

The DS-5 AE is a useful toolset that allows you to create Bare Metal applications within the DS-5 IDE, configure, and execute it on the Altera SoC target board.

For more information, refer to the "Introduction to the SoC Embedded Design Suite" and "ARM DS-5 Altera Edition" sections in the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide.

Refer to the additional guidelines, such as respective SoC Development Kit User Guide and USB-Blaster User Guide when you go through the examples in this guide.
