Hi @OS5,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.
Mind if I asked did the emulation complication successfully to generate the aocx files?
And does it work previously? Reason asking is openCL are currently not fully tested/supported in CentOS 7.9.

By any chances do you have another OS that you can try on?
Full list of supported OS can be found here.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Wishes

Hi @BoonBengT_Altera ,

The emulation compilation completes successfully. The generated aocx file was successfully used in emulation (it produced correct results).

Debugging emulated kernels used to work in the past, in another version of OpenCL SDK but its been a while (a couple of years?) and I can not remember the OpenCL SDK version number nor the OS we used it on in the past.

I will see if I can install the SDK on another OS. Can you please send the supported OS list. The link is missing from your post.

Regards,

OS
