<h1>Open Programmable Acceleration Engine - Documentation</h1>
<hr/>
+<p>The Open Programmable Acceleration Engine is a software framework for
+managing and accessing programmable accelerators (FPGAs). Its main parts
+are:</p>
-<p>Please select one of the links below to browse the online OPAE
- documentation:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li> - The OPAE Software Development Kit (OPAE SDK),</li>
+ <li> - The OPAE Linux driver for Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU with Integrated
+ FPGAs and Intel(R) PAC with Arria(R) 10 GX FPGA</li>
+ <li> - The Basic Building Block (BBB) library for accelerating AFU
+ development (not part of the OPAE release, but pre-release code is
+ available on GitHub:
+ <a href="https://github.com/OPAE/intel-fpga-bbb">Intel FPGA BBB</a></li>
+ </ul>
+<p> </p>
+<p>OPAE is under active development to extend to more hardware platforms,
+ as well as to build up the software stack with additional abstractions
+ to enable more software developers.</p>
+
+<p>
+ The OPAE SDK is a collection of libraries and tools to facilitate
+ the development of software applications and accelerators using
+ OPAE.
+ It provides a library implementing the OPAE C API for presenting
+ a streamlined and easy-to-use interface for software applications
+ to discover, access, and manage FPGA devices and accelerators using
+ the OPAE software stack. The OPAE SDK also includes the AFU Simulation
+ Environment (ASE) for end-to-end simulation of accelerator RTL together
+ with software applications using the OPAE C API.
+ OPAE's goal is to accelerate FPGA adoption. It is a community effort
+ to simplify the development and deployment of FPGA applications, so
+ we explicitly welcome discussions and contributions! The OPAE SDK
+ source, unless otherwise noted, is released under a BSD 3-clause
+ license.
