Hi Ruben,


Currently the only documentation is from the OpenVINO tools. When you are using HETERO:FPGA, CPU then the OpenVINO will try the AI in FPGA whenever it is possible and if it is not possible then the layer will be performed in CPU side. The OpenVINO will automatically communicate with the FPGA MMD driver


Let me know if you have further queries on this or you need any help on this.

    Hello @JohnT_Intel ,

    But when I use "GetAvailableDevices()" method I only get CPU as available device. There should be something I missed.
    Form my point of view, there some points to be clarified from the Intel/Altera side to use OpenVINO tool in FPGA devices with FPGA AI Suite.
