1.4. Tools Requirements
You must have the following tools to estimate and evaluate the power and thermal performance.
- Software:
- Intel Acceleration Stack for Development
- BWtoolkit
- AFU Design2
- Tcl script (download) - Required to format the programming file for analysis
- Early Power Estimator for Intel® Arria® 10 devices
- Intel® FPGA PAC Power Estimator Sheet (download)
- Hardware:
2 The build_synth directory is created after you compile your AFU.
3 In Acceleration Stack 1.2, the board monitoring is performed over PCIe.
4 Ensure that your OEM has validated the targeted PCIe slot(s) in accordance to the Platform Qualification Guidelines for your Intel® FPGA PAC.
