Hi @Gabriel4,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum, hope all is well and apologies for the delayed in response.
Previously you are running successfully in a windows machine with ubuntu 20 virtual box?
And what are the current machine that you are having problem running on?

As for the installation I believe you may follow steps here for linux machine.
Official PCIe ID for card can be refer to in the data sheet here.

Best Wishes

Thank you for your email. Sorry for the misunderstanding, here is the issue:

=> I currently have Ubuntu 20.04 running on the host (no virtual box), I think it is clear to me that OneAPI requires 18.04 because it has the required kernel version.

=> I think the larger issue is whether I can install OneAPI with the Arria10 board that we have installed, which does not match the Official PCIEe ID card that I see in the documentation. Mine says:

01:00.0 Processing accelerators: Altera Corporation Device 2494 (rev 01)
