Using Cyclone V based SoC device without HPS

Hello,

I'm having some part leadtime issues and I'm forced to use a Cyclone V based SoC device, but I only want to use the FPGA. I know I can program the FPGA without any HPS intervention using a PROM (EPCQ) device.

My question is, do I need to instantiate the HPS in Platform Designer to be able to only use the FPGA or can I get away with not instantiating the HPS and still use the FPGA?

Thank you!

    You don't need to add the HPS IP at all. Just treat it like a standard non-SoC device.

    Hi Smith


    Just like what sstrell mention, you do not need to place the HPS in platform designer.

    It is fine.
