Moku Cloud Compile<\/h2>\n

Write your code, compile it in the cloud, and deploy the bitstream to one or more Moku devices with Custom Instrument. The cloud-based service makes it easy to get started and lets you avoid complex installation, debug, and maintenance of local tools.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Deploy alongside predefined instruments<\/h2>\n

Moku Compile eliminates the need for intermediary development boards, low-level drivers, or manual interface configuration. Use Multi-Instrument Mode to integrate your custom logic alongside built-in instruments. Build your bitstreams with Moku Compile, deploy them using Custom Instrument, and run in Multi-Instrument Mode.<\/p>\n\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text]\n How does Moku Cloud Compile work?<\/span>\n

Moku Cloud Compile allows you to deploy custom DSP directly onto the Moku FPGA in Multi-Instrument Mode. Write code using a web browser and compile it in the cloud; download and deploy the bitstream to your Moku device <\/span>through the app<\/span><\/a>. Moku Cloud Compile is free to use, included in the Base Moku Compile tier.<\/span><\/p>\n

We offer a range of resources to help you get started with Moku Cloud Compile. Explore the resources <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/sl-details>\n What is HDL?<\/span>\n

HDL, or hardware description language, refers to a family of programming languages used to describe digital logic circuits and program FPGAs. The most commonly used hardware description languages are VHDL and Verilog. Moku Compile supports both.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/sl-details>\n Who should use On-premises Moku Compile?<\/span>\n

Engineers or researchers working in secure or classified environments (defense, aerospace, government labs) where cloud access is restricted should use On-premises Moku Compile. This requires a Vivado license. Still not sure if this is right for you? Chat with an engineer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/sl-details>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column]
