Setting up dev kits with AOC 20.3
Hello Our research group currently owns an Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit and an Intel Cyclone 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit and we've been using AOC/Quartus version 19.1 to program them. We were interested in upgrading AOC/Quartus to version 20.3, however it seems like this version does not ship with the BSP for the boards. It was not clear to me what needs to be done to set up these boards for use with this newer version of AOC. Any help or guidance is appreciated.Solved1.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit OpenCL and PCIe drivers/runtime stopped working
Hi Mylee Our system has been, and still is running Ubuntu 16.04. The kernel version that is running is 4.15.0-66. Please note that I do not know which version of the kernel was running when the board was working; the machine is managed by our University’s IT department and gets updated by them. -Adel2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit OpenCL and PCIe drivers/runtime stopped working
Hi Mylee To answer your first question, no we do not have another Dev Board to try out. As for the linux kernel update, yes I performed "aocl install" AFTER the linux kernel got updated. I have posted the output of "aocl install" in one of my previous messages. The device is definitely properly installed, I have not removed it.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit OpenCL and PCIe drivers/runtime stopped working
Hi Mylee The usb cable is working, jtag-config detects the board and works. I can program the board with no problem. Also, as I mentioned, the board was working previously, and I have previously configured all switches and jumpers according to an807. I confirmed that there was a kernel update prior to the board stopping to work.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit OpenCL and PCIe drivers/runtime stopped working
Hi Mylee Here are my answers to your question: 1) I think so, here is the output: root@hpvmfpga:[/home/aejjeh]: aocl install Do you want to setup the FCD at directory /opt/Intel/OpenCL/Boards [y/n] y aocl install: Adding the board package /opt/intelFPGA_pro/19.1/hld/board/a10_ref to the list of installed packages aocl install: Setting up the FPGA Client Driver (FCD) to the system.

I have a script that I use to initialize the board based on the AN 807 Intel document: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/tgy1490191698959.html#wmh1490212984610 Basically, I set the jtag speed to 6M, then I run the following two commands: quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG -o "p;max5_150.pof@2" quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG -o "p;top.sof" After that I do a soft reboot. When the reboot is done, I used to run aocl install and then the board would work. 5) The board is inside the PC chassis. I cannot see the LCD display while the board is connected to PCIe.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsArria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit OpenCL and PCIe drivers/runtime stopped working
We have an Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit that we've been using for more than a year with the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL version 18.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. Recently (last week), the FPGA stopped working with the OpenCL runtime, running aocl diagnose gives me the followign error message: Found no active device installed on the host machine. Please make sure to: 1. Set the environment variable AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT to the correct board package. 2. Install the driver from the selected board package. 3. Properly install the device in the host machine. 4. Configure the device with a supported OpenCL design. 5. Reboot the machine if the PCI Express link failed. DIAGNOSTIC_FAILED I tried to move from 18.0 to 19.1, however the issue still remains. Any thoughts on what might be the problem? Could a kernel update to the OS have been the cause of this issue? (I am currently checking with our IT department to see if they might have issued an OS update to the system).3KViews0likes13Commentsjtag not working with Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit
We have an Arria 10 GX Dev Kit that we've been using for a couple years and it was working fine (Ubuntu 16.04, Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL 18.0). The other day, I updated the Intel FPGA SDK to version 19.1 (I now have both versions installed, but all my paths point to version 19.1). Ever since I did that, the usb blaster stopped working. When I first plug the FPGA into the usb port, I can see it in "lsusb" as the following: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 09fb:6810 Altera And "dmesg | tail" gives the following output: [ 183.109435] usb 2-1.7: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci [ 183.217853] usb 2-1.7: New USB device found, idVendor=09fb, idProduct=6810 [ 183.217856] usb 2-1.7: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 Next, when I run jtagconfig, it first shows "connecting to servers [...]' but then it displays the message " No jtag hardware available", and running "dmessage|tail" now shows [ 294.061479] usb 2-1.7: USB disconnect, device number 5 [ 295.598535] usb 2-1.7: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci [ 300.838369] usb 2-1.7: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Any ideas what the issue might be?Solved2.3KViews0likes2CommentsCan Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL runtime and drivers be installed on an ARM machine?
We are interested in building a machine that would simulate an "edge" device with a, CPU, GPU and FPGA as part of a research project. Our approach was going to be an NVIDIA Jetson Board with an Intel Cyclone 10 Dev Kit plugged into the PCIe port on the Jetson. We will be doing the development for the FPGA kernel code and bitstream on an X86 machine, and then we want to transfer the AOCX to the Jetson board where the host code will run and invoke the FPGA kernel. We wanted to know if this is possible?1.4KViews0likes1Comment
