In fact - the intel_s10sx_pac.tar.gz download for the D5005 explicitly only supports CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18.04 (with kernel 4.15.*). That seems to conflict with this page which states the requirements for FPGA are strictly:

  • RHEL* 9 and 8.x (NOTE: v8.6 is not supported)
  • Ubuntu* 22.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS

So - it appears that officially it isn't possible to use these cards?

I note however that Intel DevCloud is using Ubuntu 18.04 for oneAPI 2023.0, so it must be possible to run on older OS versions that actually support the FPGA?
