I am also trying hls but 19.1 version since 2wk ago. at first, i tried with linux but thing did not go well. so im running it on window now. It can run smoother. after having right experience, i ll move back to linux later. i suggest u to try a non-lite version on a virtual machine, get 30 day trial license to get it through, go through intel hls examples first, read the manual carefully.
Here something u can try now.
- check if hls support CycloneV or not
- try hls with Arria10 (all hls versions support arria10)
- run the following command
# --debug-log -v -ghdl --> turn on all logging feature
i++ hello.cc -v -march=Arria10 --debug-log -v -ghdl --simulator none -o test-fpga
# should see a new folder test-fpga.proj. inside it, there are subfolders: components, quartus, reports, verification
# synthesize component with quartus
i++ hello.cc -v -march=Arria10 --debug-log -v -ghdl --quartus-compile
# or u can use quartus to open project <ur project folder>\test-fpga.proj\quartus\quartus_compile.qsf
