2.3.2. Installing the Altera® SoC EDS

The Altera® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite (SoC EDS) is a comprehensive software tool suite for embedded software development on Altera® system-on-chip (SoC) devices. It contains development tools, utility programs, run-time software, and application examples to expedite firmware and application software of SoC embedded systems.

As a part of the Altera SoC EDS, the Arm* Development Studio 5 (DS-5) Altera SoC FPGA Edition Toolkit provides a comprehensive set of embedded development tools for Altera® 's SoC FPGAs.
Note: Use the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 19.4 or later for this development kit test and debug.

For more information and steps to install the Altera SoC EDS Tool Suite, refer to the links below.
