Stuck during execution on Mustang-F100-A10, Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA

Hello, we have Mustang F100-A10 and TANK-870 AIoT Dev. Kit. We have followed the official guide for the latest openvino to setup the 2019R1 openvino and our FPGA card. We were able to run "aocl di...

Hi,

What do you mean by running 2 docker container running on the same host? May I know what is the docker container is running?

The reason is that from your information, the issue is not observed when the docker engine is not run. This looks like it is related to your PC issue rather than FPGA issue.

The issue has been observed on two different computers with FPGA so I dont think it's related to PC/card issue.

As I stated in the beginning we have IEI Tank and Mustang F100 inside with Ubuntu.

We have docker installed on the Ubuntu

We have Openvino R1 installed on the Ubuntu.

When we run simple openvino application which runs on HETERO:FPGA, CPU device it worked and process whole video file which has around 600 frames.

When we start up docker-compose with completely separated logic (just kafka and zookeeper as message broker) and we run the simple openvino application again the openvino application freezes.

This freezing issue doesn't have anything with "running FPGA in docker" since as I mentioned we run openvino application locally on host (openvino is installed on host directly, aocl is installed and programmed locally directly on the host).

In short the freezing issue has been observed when we had following setup at once:

  1. We have Message broker system (doesnt have anything related to openvino/FPGA) - We have 2 docker containers running ( official zookeeper image + kafka confluent official image)
  2. We run openvino application with device HETERO:FPGA,CPU locally

When we stop both docker containers (docker engine is still running as service but no docker containers are running) and we run the openvino application it doesnt freeze.
