Hi,

According to http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/requirements/19.3/, the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL is not supported in Ubuntu 18.04.

You are probably experiencing a conflict with the altera_cvp driver that is automatically installed with Ubuntu 16.04.

Can you try the link below:

I would like to confirm with you that the kernel version used is 4.4.0-164?

If the problem still persist, please tell me as well.

Thanks
