Supported Systems and Platforms

This section provides a series of tables that contain information about the development systems, FPGA simulators, embedded systems and platforms supported by OpenCPI. It is intended as a guide to the supported software and hardware configurations and their requirements and dependencies.

Below is a list of supported development system types, with the corresponding OpenCPI software platform and URLs for related information and download. All supported development platforms are in the ocpi.core project built in to OpenCPI. Other unsupported or not-yet-supported development system types can be in external projects. The default supported development platform is rocky9.

Below is the list of supported FPGA simulators and the corresponding OpenCPI “hardware” (HDL) platforms. When the associated tools are installed on a development system, the development system then includes these platforms in addition to the software platform. These simulators enable FPGA development without actual FPGA hardware. The default and recommended FPGA simulator is xsim, which is part of the free (WebPACK) version of the Xilinx Vivado tools package.

Table 2: Table of Supported FPGA Simulators

Description	OpenCPI Platform	Vendor Links
Xilinx Vivado XSIM 2017.1-2024.1	xsim	Vivado® Simulator (XSIM) is part of all Vivado HL Editions, including the free WebPack edition. Vivado Simulator general information link Vivado Simulator download link
Siemens/Mentor Modelsim 10.4c-10.6c	modelsim	Modelsim® is powerful, fast and expensive. Modelsim general information link No download link available before purchase.

A table of supported embedded systems follows, which includes the platforms each system consists of. Embedded systems generally have a software processor (CPU) using the “primary” OpenCPI software platform, along with other, usually hardware/FPGA, platforms. A physical processor (CPU) or processing device (FPGA) may be supported by a variety of OpenCPI platforms (versions or OSes).

The following table lists all supported platforms (software and hardware) in the current release. Every system running OpenCPI contains one or more platforms that support different components of an application running on different platforms in the system. Some platforms may be optionally attached/inserted/plugged into a system, such as PCI-Express plug-in cards with FPGA or CPUs on them.

Each entry in the table specifies the platform name, the OpenCPI project that supports it, and any vendor tool installations that the platform requires. The chapter “Installing Third-party/Vendor Tools” in the OpenCPI Installation Guide provides download and installation information for most of these vendor tools.
