OpenCL 19.3 SD Card image for Intel Arria 10 Development Kit

Hi,

I am having problems with creating my own SD Card image for the Intel Arria 10 Development Kit.

I have tried the GSRD 19.1, but I cannot get the OpenCL Driver working.

I have also tried generating the device tree blob, compiling Linux, compiling u-boot, compiling the OpenCL driver approach, without luck.

Is there a pre compiled OpenCL driver or precompiled SD Card image for 19.1/19.3? I've noticed that there is an image in the 17.1 SDK, and there should be one for the 18.1 SDK (https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P00004KyuxESAR/getting-started-with-the-intel-fpga-sdk-for-opencl-pro-edition-for-linux), but I can't seem to find one for 19.1.

    Hi,

    These files are files generated by Intel tools and are related to Intel IPs. Should I be editing them? Shouldn't the Intel tools generate correct code?

    Regardless, yes I can see that the kernel_system file only has one set of memory ports, where the instantiation of it in pr_region.v tries to assign it two sets of memory ports. Is this then due to it using a wrong IP core, or is it the qsys, which generates something wrong?

    Hi,

    Since kernel _system file is only one set memory ports while your instantiation have two memory port, this cause the problem. This issue might come from the hierarchy opencl compilation file which you may look into it. You have to instantiate the port correctly.

    Thanks
