Moku devices enable you to deploy custom DSP designs and functionalities by giving you access to the FPGA. Moku Compile is the custom FPGA development workflow that lets you compile your VHDL or Verilog code into a deployable bitstream to be used on your Moku device.
The generated bitstream gets deployed via Custom Instrument or Custom Instrument+, which are only available in Multi-Instrument mode.
Custom Instrument is available on all Moku devices, and only requires the Base Moku Compile subscription tier to compile bitstreams.
Moku:Delta and Moku:Pro require Custom Instrument+ to deploy and run bitstreams at the full interlaced sample rate offered on these hardware devices. This option is only available for Moku:Pro and Moku:Delta. Custom Instrument+ requires either the Enterprise or Premium Moku Compile subscription tier to compile the full-rate bitstreams.
NOTE: Custom Instrument+ may be subject to export control.
See the table below for limited-rate and full-rate values for each Moku hardware device.
