C. Cyclone® V Restrictions

Using the Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition to compile designs that target the Cyclone® V device family is subject to a number of restrictions.

  • Cyclone® V device support requires Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition (or Lite Edition). For details, see Intel HLS Compiler Pro Edition Getting Started Guide .
  • Cyclone® V devices do not have hardened floating-point DSP blocks. Designs that target Cyclone® V devices use soft-logic for DSP functions such as multiplication, addition, or square root.

    The Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition cannot infer hardened floating-point dot products for Cyclone® V devices, but the compiler can rearrange operations to improve latency if you specify the -ffp-reassociate and/or -ffp-contract=fast options of the i++ command.
