newbie question: how to run emulator

I installed Altera SDK on my system without any FPGA board.

I want to try the sw before ordering the hw.

I build a fft1d example. I used the makefile which gives error when I run:

Query for number of devices failed

Then i did some search and found a compile command to build with emulator:

which generated fft1d.aoco fft1d.aocx.

Now how can I run the generated and emulated program on my system which doesn't have a FPGA board yet?

Thanks.

    [INCORRECT]The end of the compilation tells you how to do this. If you don't specify a board the emulator will run, but I don't know if it can run as you want. Have you tried? Also, for the next time, this post should be in the OpenCL part of the forum.[INCORRECT]

    I am sory to say the previously mentioned information is incorrect, I forgot that when you do not specify a board a default one is chosen. I did a quick test to answer your question and I thought it worked. So again I am sorry.
