Toolkits for implementing AI models on Intel FPGA SOC

Hi,

before proceeding further, may I clarify what FPGA hardware are you using? (eg: Intel Arria 10 FPGA )

If you are using Intel Arria 10 FPGA, please note that it is recommended to use OpenVINO version 2020.1 since this is the last OV version that supports this hardware. You may refer to this release note.

To get started, you may refer to these documents:

1. Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA
2. Configuration Guide for the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2019R1 and the Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA (IEI’s Mustang-F100-A10) on Linux*

Cordially,

Iffa

Devices supported to use Intel FPGA AI Suite are:

• Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA
• Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA
• Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA

You may refer here for further info.

You could choose any of them and here is the guide to get started.

Cordially,

Iffa

Hi Iffa,

I have some questions below:

1. I see that Intel AI FPGA Suite requires a license for production. Is this a perpetual or annual license and how can I get it?

2. You said that the latest OpenVINO version no longer supports the Arria 10 FPGA. So how about other SoC FPGA families such as Agilex 7?

3. I See an example of SoC-based Design Example on Arria® 10 SX SoC FPGA Development Kit. Is there any FPGA SoC-based example of other families such as Agilex 7?

Regards,

Hi,

For license queries, you will need to contact your local sales team. You can get the contact from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software/programmable/fpga-ai-suite/overview.html.
