Introduction to OpenEvo

OpenEvo is the methodology that allows Evo M51 users to develop their own custom Xcelerator Blocks and integrate them into the on-board FPGA.

This methodology requires the following tools:

• Arduino IDE
• Intel Quartus Prime Lite, Version 17.1 (Free)
• Text/code editor of your choice

Notes:

• Quartus Prime Lite is only supported on Windows and Linux.
• Creating a custom XB requires knowledge of Verilog/VHDL design and familiarity with Intel Quartus and Modelsim tools.   However, we have automated as many of the steps as we can into the scripts that we provide.
