For Intel Stratix 10 FPGA, which tool to use to compile ARM53 core code

Hi, Using Intel Stratix 10 FPGA - SOC. This contains quad ARM53 cores. Need to write code on one of these ARM53 cores explicitly. Question: Need information on which tool to use, where to do...

Hi,

1. Yes, I am using Linux OS on Stratix 10 board


2. Trying to write simple application to read data via ethernet and parse it.

To get started, I did following:

I downloaded compiler from here: https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.5-2019.12/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-i686-mingw32_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz - extracted the tar file and this creates huge folder "gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-i686-mingw32_aarch64-linux-gnu"

Made a simple printf "hello world"

Compiled it by using command prompt + the compiler with below command: "Complete path of folder\bin\aarch64-linux-gnu-c++.exe" testCode.c - Note using absolute path as the PATH is not set

Generated a.out file, copied it on Linux installed on HPS (ARM53 cores) - using ftp to Stratix 10 board

Executed command to see printf output which works fine.

Question:
1. Is this the generally used procedure?
2. Is there any IDE that can do end to end code compilation by selecting right compiler at backend?
3. Can code be configured to run specific to core for execution?

Yogesh
