Moku Compile
Develop and synthesize custom functions and features in minutes, not months. Write industry-standard HDL to deploy to the user-programmable FPGA in every Moku.
New: GenInst Studio
A new way to customize Moku. Describe the functionality you need in natural language and generate validated, application-specific instruments—no HDL required.
From logic to hardware in four steps
No FPGA expertise required.
Step 1
Design your instrument
Write your instrument logic in Moku Compile using VHDL or Verilog.
Looking for where to generate custom instruments? Learn about GenInst Studio here.
Moku Cloud Compile — code editor
Step 2
Compile your instrument
Run synthesis, routing, and bitstream generation — locally or in the cloud. No FPGA toolchain setup required.
Moku Cloud Compile — build pipeline
Step 3
Deploy to Moku hardware
Browse and load bitstreams onto the user-programmable FPGA your Moku device using Moku Compile Deploy and run your design in seconds.
For full-rate or local bitstreams, use Moku Compile+.
Moku:Delta — multi-instrument routing
Step 4
Validate alongside other instruments
Run your custom instrument in parallel with the built-in Moku suite for real-time validation.
Moku — real-time instrument output

Moku Cloud Compile
Write and compile your code in the cloud with no dedicated IDE required. Deploy the bitstream to one or more Moku devices with Moku Compile. The cloud-based service makes it easy to get started and lets you avoid complex installation, debug, and maintenance of local tools.
On-premises Moku Compile
For secure labs, classified environments, or remote sites, Moku Compile on-premises support offers total control of your code and compilation. Develop and deploy custom bitstreams locally with offline, on-site compilation.
Contact us to upgrade to Enterprise Moku Compile.
Deploy alongside predefined instruments
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 Moku Compile, and run in Multi-Instrument Mode.
Moku Compile examples
Improve SNR measurement with a boxcar averager
Reduce noise and transients with custom real-time digital filtering
Generate complex waveforms without extra instrument slots
Synchronize multiple subsystems with a clock divider
Transform and output a processed signal in real time

FAQ
Moku Compile allows you to deploy custom DSP directly onto the Moku FPGA in Multi-Instrument Mode. With Moku Cloud Compile, write code using a web browser and compile it in the cloud; download and deploy the bitstream to your Moku device through the app. Moku Cloud Compile is free to use, included in the Base Moku Compile tier.
For local Moku Compile designs, use our on-premises installation of Moku Compile.
We offer a range of resources to help you get started with Moku Cloud Compile. Explore the resources here.
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.
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.
