Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet

Hardware and Software Development

For hardware development, you can configure the HPS and connect your soft logic in

the FPGA fabric to the HPS interfaces using the Qsys system integration tool in the

Quartus II software.

For software development, the ARM-based SoC FPGA devices inherit the rich

software development ecosystem available for the ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore

processor. The software development process for Altera SoC FPGAs follows the same

steps as those for other SoC devices. Altera also provides support for the Linux and

VxWorks® operating systems.

You can begin device-specific firmware and software development on the Altera

SoC FPGA Virtual Target. The Virtual Target is a fast PC-based functional simulation

of a target development system—a model of a complete development board that runs

on a PC. The Virtual Target enables the development of device-specific production

software that can run unmodified on actual hardware.
