AWS EC2 FPGA Development Kit is a set of development and runtime tools to develop, simulate, debug, compile and run hardware-accelerated applications on Amazon EC2 F1 instances. It is distributed between this GitHub repository and FPGA Developer AMI - Centos/AL2 provided by AWS with no cost of development tools. After creating an FPGA design (also called CL - Custom logic), developers can create an Amazon FPGA Image (AFI) and easily deploy it to an F1 instance. AFIs are reusable, shareable and can be deployed in a scalable and secure way. Development experience leverages an optimized compiler to allow easy new accelerator development or migration of existing C/C++/openCL, Verilog/VHDL to AWS FPGA instances. Fully custom hardware development experience provides hardware developers with the tools required for developing AFIs for AWS FPGA instances.
Features
- The FPGA Developer AMI is available on the AWS marketplace without a software charge and includes tools needed for developing FPGA Designs to run on AWS F1
- AWS marketplace offers multiple versions of the FPGA Developer AMI
- With Amazon EC2 FPGA instances, each FPGA is divided into two partitions
- The HDK directory contains documentation, examples, simulation, build and AFI creation scripts to start building Amazon FPGA Images (AFI)
- The HDK can be installed on any on-premises server or an EC2 instance
- The SDK directory includes the runtime environment required to run on EC2 FPGA instances
