how to use ARM cortex in Agilex FPGA

Question

Hi,

I wonder to know how to use ARM cortex A53 cluster in Agilex FPGA:

1. how to instantiate ARM cortex in Quartus, (I only find NIOS II core in IP catalog, but no ARM cores in Quartus)

2. if there is any instruction or tutorial of how to build a ARM cortex cluster using Agilex

3. what is the IDE for Agilex ARM cortex firmware development? is it using ARM AE as well or eclipse based IDE?

Thanks

You have to use Platform Designer in Quartus to implement an HPS design.  Start with this training: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/652841

Hi

You will need to add in the HPS IP in the Platform designer.

The HPS stands for the Hard Processor System that would need to be added to the project.

You could see more information below:

You could also download the GSRD for the Agilex developmnent kit that have already created and tested to be working.

The GSRD could be the first step for you to explore what settings that you are working at.

You could take a look at the link below for the Devkit that you are using. Take note on the tile of the devkit too.
