# rstools

**`rstools`is the source code of the *socfpgatools* of the [*meta-intelfpga*](https://github.com/robseb/meta-intelfpga) BSP-Layer**

`meta-intelfpga` is a BSP-Layer for bringing support for *Intel* (*ALTERA*) SoC-FPGAs (*SoCFPGAs*) to the *Yocto Project*.
The *socfpgatools* add a simple way for fully accessing the FPGA Manager of the Intel (*ALTERA*) Cyclone V SoC-FPGA (*SoCFPGA*).

Additionally, with a single command it is possible to read or write the *ARM AXI-Bridge* (*Lightweight HPS-to-FPGA-* (*LWHPS2FPGA*) or *HPS-to-FPGA (*HPS2FPGA*) Bridge*) to the FPGA Fabric.
It enables to check the startus of the FPGA Fabric, write or read any address of the MPU (*HPS*) Memory space or the read and write the general purpose in- (*GPI*) and output- (*GPO*) registers.

This source code and the [*meta-intelfpga*](https://github.com/robseb/meta-intelfpga) is a part of my [*rsyocto*](https://github.com/robseb/rsyocto). A embedded Linux Distribution for *Intel* SoC-FPGAs.

*rstoolsCY5* and *rsyocto* are self-developed projects in which no other companies are involved.
It is specifically designed to serve students and the Linux/FPGA open-source community with its publication on GitHub and its open-source MIT license.
In the future, *rsyocto* will retain its open-source status and it will be further developed.

Due to the enthusiasm of commercial users, special features for industrial, scientific and automotive applications
were developed and ready for the implementation in a highly optimazed closed commercial version.
Partnerships as an embedded SoC-FPGA design service to fulfil these specific commercial requirements are offered.
It should help, besides students with the *rsyocto* open-source version, commercial users, as well.
