Where do I get the Lite version of the Intel Soc FPGA Design Suite?

I have purchased a DE10-Standard Cyclone V development board. I am wanting to started development for the ARM core.

The DE-10-Standard Getting Started PDF links to https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/soceds/19.1/ and instructs to download the Lite version of the software. Only Pro and Standard are available.

Is there a free version of this software?

    Hi,

    Standard Edition is the free edition.

    The SoC EDS Standard Edition is supported with the Intel Quartus Prime Lite/Standard Edition software and the SoC

    EDS Pro Edition is supported with the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software.

    Reference: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/po/ss-quartus-comparison.pdf

      Hi,

      The only SoC EDS component that requires a license is the Arm DS-5 Intel SoC FPGA Edition. The rest of the SoC EDS components, such as tools and software, do not require a license. Please refer to the document section Intel SoC FPGA EDS Licensing for further information.
