I am facing "**ERROR**: PR incompatible bitstream error detected" error when I try to program the bitstream I compiled for the hello world example with OpenCL on my new Intel PAC(pac_a10). But, I can program the hello-world.aocx provided by Intel.

I am trying to set up the OpenCL compilation for my Intel Programmable Acceleration Card. I installed the board and the acceleration software stack provided by Intel. I was able to program the board ...

Hi,

According to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/rn/rn-ias-a10-pac.pdf shown that PACSign tool requires Python 3.0 and OPAE tools require Python 2.7.

Could you try the steps below:

1. Locate a10_rc_ocl_hpr_floorplan.py file to Intel PAC Arria 10 OpenCL BSP folder.

2. Run the a10_rc_ocl_hpr_floorplan.py file and arguments point to require files in an project to to generate a10_hpr_floorplan.qsf.

3. Copy the a10_hpr_floorplan.qsf file to porject folder and Compilation on the OpenCL project. Make sure the a10_hpr_floorplan.qsf file is called/source from file afu_ip_gt.qsf,file afu_ip_gt.qsf.

Thanks

    Hi,

    I did as you guided and it generated the a10_hpr_floorplan.qsf file. Should I compile the project again with this file generated in the compilation folder?

    Also, I guess there should be some way to avoid to do this step on each compilation. Shouldn't this file generated by default?

    Mostafa,
