The Atlas-SoC development platform from Terasic is designed for the embedded software developer. It boots Linux, runs web and VNC servers, and provides reference designs, development tools, and tutorials to accelerate the learning curve of developing software for SoCs. This SoC development kit presents a robust hardware design platform built around the Altera System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA, which combines the latest dual-core ARM® Cortex®-A9 embedded cores with industry-leading programmable logic for ultimate design flexibility.
