newbie to SOCkit

Hello I'm working on system identification and signal processing. I'm gonna work with SOCKit+High Speed AD/DA Card. I've learned pure VHDL. my time is limited i'm very concerned about the future...

Hello,

1. You can use the FPGA portion of the Cyclone V SoC without using the HPS - the examples that Terasic include for the board has several examples where only the FPGA is used.

2. Quartus supports Verilog as well as other design methods such as VHDL, so I guess whichever works for you will be the best choice :)

3. Depends on your need - you can run the HPS using baremetal without Linux (examples available on Altera website). Both baremetal and Linux have their own advantages/disadvantages
