1.5 Limitations
This section describes the limitations of the Cortex-M3 DesignStart Eval FPGA Evaluation Flow.
You should not use the processor technology or the supporting deliverables as an indicator of what is
received under a full technology license of the ARM Cortex-M3 processor.
This section contains the following subsections:
• 1.5.1 Deliverables on page 1-18.
• 1.5.2 Processor support on page 1-18.
1.5.1 Deliverables
Cortex-M3 DesignStart Eval does not contain the EDA tools used for simulation or compilation.
You must obtain the software tools separately.
The following table shows the supported software tools for Cortex-M3 DesignStart Eval:
Table 1-3 Software tools
Tool Supported software
Compile test code The recommended minimum versions are:
• ARM Keil Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK) version
5.22.
• ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5) version 5.06.409.
• GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors (ARM GCC)
version 5-2016q2.
Compile RTL and FPGA build software The recommended minimum version is:
• Intel Quartus version 16.1.
Note
The Cyclone device on the ARM MPS2+ platform is also
supported by the free Lite Edition of Quartus Prime. No Quartus
license is required to build the Cortex-M3 DesignStart Eval FPGA
Evaluation Flow.
