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

Thank you for the clarification. My takeaway is, that Sycl for FPGA is still supported with Version 2025.0 of oneAPI. (as stated in the documentation as well).
I noticed the vage information about future support, but I think, that is due to the changes in the company's structure and I am full of hope that we hear from altera (or intel?) about their HLS-approach soonish.

Best regards

Achim.
