Moku Compile examples

Implementing a boxcar averager with Moku Cloud Compile

Improve SNR measurement with a boxcar averager

Implement custom time-gated averaging for enhanced signal detection in microscopy, LIDAR, and other modulated optical experiments.
Moku Cloud Compile interface showcasing moving average filter measurment

Reduce noise and transients with custom real-time digital filtering

Implement custom moving average filters directly on the FPGA. Useful for sensor readout and control loops to optimize signal processing.
Ip core example for FPGA programming in Moku Cloud Compile

Implement IP core blocks

IP core blocks give you building blocks for user-programmable, sophisticated signal generation and processing that would otherwise require multiple dedicated instruments.
Custom clock divider implemented on an FPGA

Synchronize signals with a clock divider

Build a custom clock divider on FPGA to eliminate the need for a dedicated timing module. Useful for mixed-rate systems, multi-board test setups, and prototyping work with timing flexibility.
Square root Moku Compile

Calculate on the fly

Apply mathematical operations like scaling, square roots, or custom functions to a live input signal and drive the result directly to an analog output.

Moku Cloud Compile

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.

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 Custom Instrument, and run in Multi-Instrument Mode.

You’re in good company

No software installations required

“From opening the box, I just pulled the code up and it only took me 15 minutes to implement this. So I was very happy with this — it was amazing.”

-Noah Kurinsky, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Greater flexibility in test than ever before

“Previously this would have taken us months to years to accommodate all of our unique requirements, but now with Moku Cloud Compile, it’s weeks to days.”

-Global aerospace company

Design, deploy, and test on one device

“We love the Moku platform because we can reduce the system footprint and the cost while still meeting our performance requirements.”

-Defense contractor

FAQ

How does Moku Cloud Compile work?

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 through the app. Moku Cloud Compile is free to use, included in the Base Moku Compile tier.

We offer a range of resources to help you get started with Moku Cloud Compile. Explore the resources here.

 What is HDL?

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.

 Who should use On-premises Moku Compile?

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.
