Intel SoC Devices

Generate and deploy HDL code and embedded software on Intel^® SoC Devices

HDL Coder™ can generate an IP core, integrate it into your Qsys project, and program the Intel hardware. Using Embedded Coder^®, you can generate and build the embedded software, and run it on the ARM^® processor. See Hardware-Software Co-Design Workflow for SoC Platforms.

To deploy your design to the Intel SoC device, you must install the HDL Coder Support Package for Intel SoC Devices. For installation information, see HDL Coder Supported Hardware.
