Agilex 7 I-Series "aocl diagnose acl0" error following OFS

Hello, I've been working through the Open FPGA Stack (OFS) guides to set up my Agilex 7 I-Series development kit for use with oneAPI. I've worked through prior SystemVerilog issues encountered by sw...

Hello,

Thank you for your response! I've been keeping an eye on when the forums would come back online, but must've missed the launch day.

I have tried both my own, minimal FIM and BSP, as well as those released on the Github page.

For my own BSP, I've tried both the 1x16 1PF/1VF minimal FIM (which resulted in SystemVerilog errors previously mentioned), as well as a 2x8 1PF/1VF minimal FIM (resulting in the aocl diagnose acl0 error). The command for generating the 2x8 FIM is as follows, and is taken from the OFS guides:

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host_2link_1pf_1vf.ofss iseries-dk:null_he_lb,null_he_hssi,null_he_mem,null_he_mem_tg,no_hssi work_iseries-dk_minimal_fim

As for the pre-built FIMs I have tried wrapping into a BSP for use, I've downloaded them from the assets section of the 2024.2-1 OFS Github at the below link.
https://github.com/OFS/ofs-agx7-pcie-attach/releases/tag/ofs-2024.2-1 

I'll go through all of the available pre-built packages once more to ensure I did not miss anything, but none of them have worked for me yet.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

James

Hi,

May I know which OS are you using? Have you try to use the pre-compile design directly?

    Hello,

    I've been using Red Hat Linux 8.10 as specified in the Github and parts of the OFS tutorial like for installing DFL and OPAE. I see that it says Red Hat 8.8 in your provided screenshot, should I change to that version instead?

    When you say using the pre-compiled designs directly, do you mean the FIMs provided on the Github in packages like "iseries-dk-images_ofs-2024-2-1.tar.gz"? If so, then yes, I have tried the one I just mentioned, as well as the "iseries-dk-slimfim-images_ofs-2024-2-1.tar.gz" without any success. I am able to create the BSP successfully and generate the initialization bitstream, but run into the DMA errors previously mentioned. I will try the other 2link and 1link configurations now as well to see if those yield any better results.

    Are there any other steps you would suggest taking?

    Best,

    James

      Hi,

      Yes, please try RedHat 8.8 which is the verified OS version.

        Hello,

        Thank you for the advice, I'll re-create my system using RedHat 8.8 and get back to you once I re-install the OFS software and try the process again.

        Best,

        James
