Using A10 PAC BSP with OpenCL SDK 18.1

Hello,

I got a confirmation regarding this. You can compile OpenCL kernel using latest intel SDK with older BSP version.

You need to set the environment to make everything works:

• Set environment variables to point the Quartus Prime version that was used to compile the BSP.
• Set the environment variables to point to the BSP directory.
• Set environment variables to point to the latest version of the Intel SDK for OpenCL.
• Run the Intel SDK for OpenCL initialization script.
• Compile the kernel.
• Run the design using the latest version of the Intel SDK for OpenCL or Intel RTE for OpenCL.

For example:

export QSYS_ROOTDIR=/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/qsys/bin

export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/quartus/bin

export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE=/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/quartus/bin

export PATH="/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/quartus/bin/:$PATH"

export PATH="/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/qsys/bin:$PATH"

# A10 ref BSP version 17.1

export AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT=/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/hld/board/a10_ref

export PATH="/IntelFPGA_pro/17.1/hld/board/a10_ref/ip/:$PATH"

# set OpenCL version 18.1

export ALTERAOCLSDKROOT=/IntelFPGA_pro/18.1/hld

export INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT=/IntelFPGA_pro/18.1/hld

#run the OpenCL Setup script in 18.1

source /IntelFPGA_pro/18.1/hld/init_opencl.sh

Hope this might help
