Deprecation Notice for FPGA Support Package for oneAPI DPC++/C++. What is the alternative?

Hi there, We recently began to port our HLS-C++ projects to oneAPI as the HLS-Compiler was no longer continued. Today I noticed the deprecation notice for "FPGA Support Package for Intel® oneAPI D...

    Hi @Achim_the_key,


    Thank you for posting in Intel community forum, hope all is well and apologies for the delayed in response.

    The shorter version is yes, there is still going to be support for SYCL-for-FPGA support, which will continue in oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler 2025.0 release until further notice.


    As for image processing application, if approached is to use high level languages like c/c++, oneAPI compiler is still the appropriate tools.

    Hope that clarify.


    Best Wishes

Maybe that was an automated response or I missed something? 
"I'm glad that your issue is resolved"
- Sorry, but it isn't.
"there is still going to be support for SYCL-for-FPGA support, which will continue in oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler 2025.0 release until further notice."
- We have been waiting for the further notice for more than 8 months now. The reality seems to be that there is no proper support as tools (oneAPI FPGA support package) are not updated. I think you (Altera) understand that it's a big risk for a user to take into use a tool that is not getting updates.
