The major components of the SoC EDS include:
• ARM
®
Development Studio 5 (DS-5
™
) Altera Edition (AE) Toolkit
• Compiler tool chains:
• Bare-metal GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) tool chain from Mentor Graphics
®
• ARM Bare-metal compiler tool chain.
• Linux GCC compiler tool chain from Linaro
• Pre-built Linux package including:
• Linux kernel executable
• Linux kernel U-boot image
• Device tree blob
• Secure Digital (SD) card image
• Script to download Linux source code from the Git tree on the Rocketboards website
(www.rocketboards.org). The script downloads the sources corresponding to the pre-built Linux
package.

Note: The Linux package included in the SoC EDS is not an official release and is intended to be used
only as an example. Use the official Linux release described in the Golden System Reference Design
(GSRD) User Manual available on the Rocketboards website or a specific release from the Git trees
located on the Gitweb page of the Rocketboards website for development.
Note: The SoC EDS is tested only with the Linux release that comes with it. Newer Linux releases may
not be fully compatible with this release of SoC EDS.
Note: The Golden Hardware Reference Design (GHRD) included with the SoC EDS is not an official
release and is intended to be used only as an example. For development purposes, use the official
GHRD release described in the GSRD User Manual available on the Rocketboards website.
