Expected "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

Hi,

After check internally, there is no Arria 10 BSP with ethernet available provided by Intel.

To define the Arria 10GX with ethernet available, there is a document: "Stratix V network reference platform porting guide" that may be useful for you to define the ethernet available BSP.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/ewa1404851957878.html#ewa1405102911782

To modify the Arria 10GX BSP, you may need to refer the document as below:

Thanks
