    Hi Sait,

    Sorry for the delay in response, was asking other OFS SME and checking the OFS content for Stratix 10, unfortunately all of them only contains the configuration for D5005 support eg BMC, FIM.

    While you might be able to skip the BMC part as that is specific to d5005 only (losing card monitoring features in process), FIM looks like can be modified to different model from Quartus but overall, there is also configuration customization that was done based on D5005 thus I think it is a high risk that it will not work for your card without extensive modification.

    All in all, the official supported Stratix10 that is tested on OFS is D5005.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Kian

Hi Kian,

Thanks for return. For OPAE related link you shared, it shows board installation and server environment setup of Intel® FPGA PAC D5005 which is an accelerator card with Stratix 10. The product's image is:

However I have a Stratix 10 Development Kit FPGA. You can see its image below:

Does OPAE drivers support my Stratix 10 DevKit and can I use it as accelerator?

Thanks

Regards

Sait
