New ContributorGetting Started with the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Pro Edition for Linux
New Contributor@HRZ Yes, I have tried "aocl install" and it is not running successfully hence I have ran the "aocl diagnose" command and pasted its result here. It does say, no device connected but I do have board connected and bsp files under hld/board/a10soc.
Error message is as follows:
aocl install: Setting up the FPGA Client Driver (FCD) to the system.
Install the FCD file to /opt/Intel/OpenCL/Boards
Installing the board package driver to the system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: No board installation routine supplied.
Please consult your board manufacturer's documentation or support
team for information on how to properly install your board.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Could you just give me brief idea if there is something which is missing in documents or I am not doing correctly?
Thank you
Regular ContributorHi,
Are you running on Windows 8 or 10? If you the "aocl diagnose" fail even if your board is installed, this is a known issue and here is the work around:
On Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 systems, you might also need to disable signed driver verification. For details, see the following articles:
- Windows 8: https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/fb321729.html
- Windows 10: https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/embedded/2017/Why-does-aocl-diagnose-fail-while-using-Windows-10.html
See if it helps.

Hi,
Yes, I am using the same image but somehow it doesn't come with OpenCL RTE. So finally for now I am using 18.1 version and it is working for me.
Thank you for your help! I am still looking for 19.1(latest) image, but for now I am okay with 18.1.

Hi,
Following mention by HRZ, for SoC board the "aocl install" is not required because I believe everything is pre-installed on the supplied flash card image.
And the "aocl diagnose" should be executable.
Can you run "aocl list-devices" what is the output?:
*The list-devices utility lists all the devices installed in a host machine, grouped by board packages.
The list-devices utility is similar to the diagnose utility. It first verifies the installation of the kernel driver and then lists all the devices.

Hi,
Yes but the sd card image which I have got with my soc board is broken and so I am manually trying to install image and necessary tools.

Hi,
May I know where did you get the image? I assuming the image is not supported, since the aocl diagnose causing error.
You can get the SD card image from rocketboards.org, for 19.1:

Hope this help.
