Deep learning on NI FPGA

Hello, I am new to Intel development environments. In my project, I aim to download a deep learning inference solution to a Kintex-7 FPGA on NI CompactRIO-9040 I wanted to know whether it is possi...

Hi GRN, thank you for your response.
Apparently SDAccel doesn't support kintex-7, only newer accelerator devices.
I saw that I can design a custom platform with Intel FPGA SDK Pro edition.
My question is whether it would work, given the FPGA is embedded on a SoC, inside the compactRIO controller, which is accessible from a PC with a USB cable (not PCIe). I could also try to install Intel FPGA SDK and RTE on the compactRIO controller, which in turn communicates to the FPGA in a more direct manner

Thanks in advance
