1.2. Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit Reference Platform: Prerequisites

The Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit Reference Platform Porting Guide assumes that you are an experienced FPGA designer familiar with Intel® 's FPGA design tools and concepts.

Prerequisites for the s10_ref Reference Platform:

  • An Intel® Stratix® 10-based accelerator card with working PCI Express* ( PCIe* ) and memory interfaces
    Attention:

    The native Stratix 10 GX FPGA Development Kit does not automatically work with the SDK. Before using the Stratix 10 GX FPGA Development Kit with the SDK, you must setup the board by following the steps provided in the bring-up guide (included in the INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT/board/s10_ref/bringup directory) or contact your field applications engineer or regional support center representative to configure the development kit for you.

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software
  • Designing with Logic Lock regions

General prerequisites:

  • FPGA architecture, including clocking, global routing, and I/Os
  • High-speed design
  • Timing analysis
  • Platform Designer design and Avalon® interfaces
  • Tcl scripting
  • PCIe
  • DDR4 external memory

This document also assumes that you are familiar with the following Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ -specific tools and documentation:

  • Custom Platform Toolkit and the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Custom Platform Toolkit User Guide
  • Intel® Arria® 10 Reference Platform (a10_ref) and the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit Reference Platform Porting Guide

    The whole software stack in the s10_ref is derived from the a10_ref Reference Platform.
