Occasional ContributorExpected "channels" specification in the BSP's board_spec.xml but see nothing.
I'm learning about Intel's "channels" OpenCL extension for host-to-kernel and io-to-kernel communication. The training video says the specification of the board's available channels are in board_spec...
Hi,
Yes host-to-dev channel and dev-to-host are supported only by "a10gx_hostpipe"BSP.
For question "Does Intel perhaps provide a BSP with ethernet available, since the dev kit comes with ethernet?", i would need some time to check it internally.
The BSP support host-dec streaming via pipe. The channel is provided for pipe to work. There is no difference between pipe and channel, it only the name difference here.
Thanks

Frequent ContributorHi,
These line is used for the BSP to support host channels. You can try create a loopback kernel which can read from host_to_dev channel and write to host_to_dev channel.
For more information, you can refer to the links below:
