词条 | Intel Quartus Prime |
释义 |
Intel Quartus Prime is programmable logic device design software produced by Intel; prior to Intel's acquisition of Altera the tool was called Altera Quartus II. Quartus Prime enables analysis and synthesis of HDL designs, which enables the developer to compile their designs, perform timing analysis, examine RTL diagrams, simulate a design's reaction to different stimuli, and configure the target device with the programmer. Quartus Prime includes an implementation of VHDL and Verilog for hardware description, visual editing of logic circuits, and vector waveform simulation. FeaturesQuartus Prime software features include:
SOPC BuilderSOPC Builder (System on a Programmable Chip Builder) is software made by Intel that automates connecting soft-hardware components to create a complete computer system that runs on any of its various FPGA chips. SOPC Builder incorporates a library of pre-made components (including the flagship Nios II soft processor, memory controllers, interfaces, and peripherals) and an interface for incorporating custom ones. Interconnections are made though the Avalon bus. Bus arbitration, bus width matching, and even clock domain crossing are all handled automatically when SOPC Builder generates the system. A GUI is the only thing used to configure the soft-hardware components (which often have many options) and to specify the bus topology. The resulting "virtual" system can then be connected to the outside world via the FPGA's programmable pins or connected internally to other soft components. The FPGA's pins are routed to connectors, such as for PCI or DDR, or—as is often the case in embedded systems—to other chips mounted on the same PCB. Resource utilization on an FPGA hosting an SOPC Builder system is very modest by modern standards. FPGA devices supporting SOPC systems include almost all Intel FPGAs (and even some CPLDs) ranging from $5 to $5,000 in price. EditionsWeb EditionThe Web Edition is a free version of Quartus II that can be downloaded or delivered by mail for free. This edition provided compilation and programming for a limited number of Intel FPGA devices. The low-cost Cyclone family of FPGAs is fully supported by this edition, as well as the MAX family of CPLDs, meaning small developers and educational institutions have no overheads from the cost of development software. License registration is required to use the Web Edition of Quartus Prime, which is free and can be renewed an unlimited number of times. Subscription EditionThe Subscription Edition is also available for free download, but a DRMed license must be paid for to use the full functionality in the software. The free Web Edition license can be used on this software, restricting the devices that can be used. The supported operating systems are:
