New ContributorHost channels arria 10 pac [DevCloud]
Hi,
I am interested in work with the Intel host pipes in Arria10 FPGA, that is available in the a10gx_hostpipe bsp. In the Intel DevCloud I only see the a10_pac, which does not have channels. Is it possible to get access to a bsp with that feature?
Thanks in advance

Which nodes you are trying to access?
You might access to the wrong nodes for it, try to look for Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit nodes.
You may check this https://github.com/intel/FPGA-Devcloud/tree/master/main/Devcloud_Access_Instructions#devcloud-access-instructions. If the nodes is not there, I will request them to setup one for it.
MDavi68Thanks, Kenny_t for your answer, The documentation link only refers to Arria10 PAC, as my devcloud_login. Currently, I am using the node s005-n004. I've tried to list the available nodes but I can't differentiate between arria GX and PAC devices .The "properties" don't make a difference, it just shows arria10. I accessed a couple of them, and all are PAC devices. how I can identify an arria10GX node? El vie., 19 jun. 2020 a las 6:14, Intel Forums (<[email protected]>) escribió:- Dr_FPGA
Same here. I am very interested getting OpenCL host pipes working with our application. BTW I tried to get access to "right Arria 10 cloud" and got yet another DevCloud account w/o GUI tools and Tcl scripts.
TTwomI am also trying to setup host pipes and would very much appreciate it if there was a node that supported it.

I am in a similar situation. Trying to compile the example kernel from the loopback host pipe example on Arria 10 nodes (137-139)
I get the same error as discussed in an older forum post.

I'm curious what application you want to run on the Arria 10 GX board that the A10 PAC cannot support? We can investigate installing that board, but it could take a month or longer as we need another server blade - all are occupied with PAC boards.
Thanks

Why just not to add Software support for host pipes to Intel PAC card? This should be less than a month, it is just a software update!
Our application is confidential at the moment. However, the convenience of pumping data via host channels has advantage of having much less code than handling ping-pong buffers with events, etc. And we all for less code and conveniences, correct?
