Hi all,
I'm newbie to the intel community. I have bought Intel Agilex-7 Fseries Dev-Kit SoC and I have a couple of questions. The first one is that is there any Arm-DS licence coming when bought the product? The second one is that can I use Intel SoCEDS Pro v20.1 to develop embedded applications on Agilex-7 F series Dev-Kit? It supports Agilex-7 devices? If so Is there any user guide for SoCEDS Pro I mean usage examples of APIs coming when install SoCEDS Pro?
Thanks,
Balerion
Hi,
Please refer the development kit page.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/agilex/agf014.html
It is mentioned that a one-year license for the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition design software is included with the purchase of the kit. Refer to Intel® FPGA Software Installation and Licensing for more information.
Regarding another query, we don't have HWLIB/Baremetal support on Agilex-7.
You need to use the open source linux i.e. https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderAgilex7 or VxWork from Windriver.

Tiwari

Hi,
I was looking at "Intel Agilex-7 FPGA F-Series Development Kit User Guide" and "Intel SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite(SoC EDS) User Guide". In Revision History, it says "Added Intel Agilex Support" I am a bit confused about it. If I want to work bare metal with this device, I need to write all the hardware libraries on my own? Could you please help? Otherwise, I have to work with linux?
Thanks,
Balerion
Hi,
Yes, you need to use the linux if you need any support from Aletra.
Incase of baremetal, we do not have HWLIB/Baremetal support on Agilex-7. Means, you need to write from your own to build baremetal application. Please refer below link for update support for Altera HWLIB.

Do let me know if you have any other query on this.

Hi,
I believe your inquiry has been answered. With that, I now transition this thread to community support.
Thank you.
Best regards,

Hi,
I added some screenshots to the attachment. I took them from Intel's website and "Intel SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite (Soc EDS) User Guide". As far as I understood, I can use SoC EDS on Agilex devices (I don't know if it is Agilex-7). I installed Intel Soc EDS Pro v20.1 and under ...\intelFpga_pro\embedded\ip\altera\hps\altera_hps\hwlib\include directory there are some header files. But from your response, I see that I am not able to use these header files in my application. Can you please explain them in detail.
I want to use UART peripheral in my simple application. I also want to work baremetal. So, I need to write my driver using hps register map?
Could you please help about that?
Best Regards,

Hi,
SoCEDS is discontinued product and no longer supported. For updated support on HWLIB, please refer the below link-
https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/HWLib
https://github.com/altera-opensource/intel-socfpga-hwlib
This HWLIB is only having peripheral support on CV, Arria 10 and Stratix 10. Agilex-7 is not mentioned in these above links.
We don't have any example or reference with HWLIB and the Agilex-7.
If you still wish to work on baremetal then you need to create on your own.
I can help you with the available support which is linux on Agilex-7.
Hope this clarified your query,
Regards
Tiwari
Hi,
Thanks for your answers.
I wish, there was a BSP support for Agilex-7 SoC just like Arria 10 and Stratix 10 such that I wouldn't need to work at the register level if I want to work baremetal with it. If this is all about the topic, you can make it closed for now.

Balerion
