Hi For Arm* DS* for Intel® SoC FPGA Edition License—If you have purchased a SoC development kit, then you have already received an Arm* license serial number. This is a 15-digit alphanumeric string with two dashes in between. This serial number is an activation number for your license in DS* for Intel® SoC FPGA Edition. Alternatively, If you want to evaluate the Arm* DS* for Intel® SoC FPGA Edition, you can get a 30-Day Evaluation activation code from the Arm* Development Studio. Refer to link below https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/lro1402536290550.html#lro1402537200960 You could also refer to Intel® FPGA Licensing Support Center for license requirement https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/support-centers/licensing.html Replies: Re: What tools and licenses required for "Cyclone V SoC Development Kit and SoC Embedded Design Suite"? @AR_A_Intel , Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate. I am able to get started on Altera Cyclone V SoC with the link you provided. It says "Arm* Development Studio for Intel® SoC FPGA (Arm* DS for Intel® SoC FPGA) is sold separately, replacing Arm* Development Studio 5 (Arm* DS5) ". 1. Do I need to purchase Arm* Development Studio to start working on the development kit? OR 2. Shall I work with "Free software supported by Intel Quartus® Prime Lite Edition software"? 3. Do I need "Arm* Development Studio" for production code Or "Free software supported by Intel Quartus® Prime Lite Edition software" should be fine? I am trying to figure out Licenses/cost requirement upfront to consider in the budget. I appreciate for your help.
