1. About This Document

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 25.3
This document describes the following items:
  • The Intel® Simics® virtual platform for the hard processor system (HPS) of the Agilex™ 5 and Agilex™ 3 SoC FPGA.
  • The Intel® Simics® models of the Agilex™ 5 SoC FPGA that the virtual platforms use.

    The current version of the virtual platform that this document describes supports the model of the Agilex™ 5 E-Series and Agilex™ 5 D-Series devices.

  • The differences between the Agilex™ 3 model and the Agilex™ 5 model from which the Agilex™ 3 model is derived.

    Most of the time, the Agilex™ 3 model is the same as the Agilex™ 5 model. Unless a difference is noted in this document, the information presented about the Agilex™ 5 model also applies to the Agilex™ 3 model.

Use this document to learn about the architecture of the supported virtual platforms, including information about the main building blocks that integrate them, and how to start an Intel® Simics® simulation.
