1.1 System Requirements

This section provides information about supported operating systems, system memory requirements, and other recommendations.

1.1.1 Supported Operating Systems

Libero SoC Design Suite supports the following 64-bit operating systems:

  • Microsoft® Windows 11.0
  • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.3-8.10, AlmaLinux® 8.3-8.10
  • Ubuntu® 22.04.3 LTS
Attention:
  • Support for Windows 10 has been discontinued in Libero SoC starting with the 2025.1 release.
  • Siemens ModelSim Pro does not directly support the Ubuntu platform. However, users can successfully install and run ModelSim Pro and QuestaSim Pro ME on Ubuntu by installing the necessary libraries. Libero provides the script check_linux_req.sh to install required system packages for Ubuntu.
  • Libero SoC design suite has been tested on x86 and x64 processor-based machines only.

1.1.2 System Memory Recommendations

A minimum of 32 GB of Random-Access Memory (RAM) is recommended for implementing designs on MPF500T, MPFS460T, and RT PolarFire FPGA and SoC devices. For all other devices, a minimum of 16 GB of RAM is recommended.
