OneAPI installation with FPGA Add-on for A10gx board

Question

We are trying to install oneAPI for FPGA Add-on for custom platform using a10gx board.
To achieve this we downloaded and installed the FPGA add-on using Intel Quartus Pro Software package from the Toolkit Download page.
Also the package related to A10gx board was downloaded and installed in /opt/intel/oneapi/intelfpgadpcpp/2021.3.0/board
 
After installing OneAPI 2021.3 I could setup the environment
$ source setvars.sh :: initializing oneAPI environment ...   -bash: BASH_VERSION = 4.4.20(1)-release3:: advisor -- latest:: ccl -- latest:: compiler -- latest:: dal -- latest:: debugger -- latest:: dev-utilities -- latest:: dnnl -- latest:: dpcpp-ct -- latest:: dpl -- latest:: intelpython -- latest:: ipp -- latest:: ippcp -- latest:: ipp -- latest:: mkl -- latest:: mpi -- latest:: tbb -- latest:: vpl -- latest:: vtune -- latest:: oneAPI environment initialized ::
 
To diagnose the oneAPI and FPGA installation the sys_check.sh script is executed with errors

Hi,

Thanks for the help and to clarify details:

Yes, we are trying to install in our local machine with ubuntu OS 18.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-42-generic x86_64).
We have Arria-10 gx board and would like to demonstrate  oneAPI installation using this. 
 
While following the guide mentioned below for
Install the Intel® FPGA Add-on for Intel® Custom Platform

FPGA Add-on for Custom Platforms using Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro 20.2 software
 
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/installation-guide-for-intel-oneapi-toolkits-linux/top/installation/set-up-a-system-for-fpga-with-the-intel-pac/install-fpga-add-on-for-oneapi-base-toolkit.html#install-intel-fpga-add-on-for-oneapi-base-toolkit-package_install-the-intel-fpga-add-on-for-intel-custom-platform

Steps 1 to 8 were successfully executed.
Step 9  $ ./sys_check.sh executed with error. File attached.
 
Can you please help us to solve this issue and proceed further

Hi @vinutha,

Apologies for the delayed in response, currently we are trying the same in container ubuntu to see if that works.For the time being, would recommend a workaround to use the Intel DevCloud platform that are readily setup.
You would just need to request an access and will be able to compile oneApi example designs, more details on the access can be found here.Hope that clarify for the time being.
