Hi B,

I have deal with the problem successfully!!

Thank you so much for you reply and help!

Best wishes,

Hi Jiawen,

For the first question, the unable to open device acl0. Can I know if you also solve that? Thanks

After I installed the drivers successfully, I still had this problem and didn't deal with it. The errors are as followings:

root@storm:/home/storm/altera/14.0/hld/board/de5net_network/tests/fft2d# aocl program acl0 bin/fft2d.aocx

aocl program: Running reprogram from /home/storm/altera/14.0/hld/board/de5net_network/linux64/libexec

Unable to open the device acl0.

aocl program: Program failed.

I appreciate someone can give me any suggestion.

Best wishes,

Jiawen

Hi Jiawen,

Did you try the aocl diagnose to make sure the system can find the fpga device currently?

I tried aocl diagnose. But it didn't detect any FPGA devices. Do you know what's the problem?

I am chinese . So my english is poor and i need the same problem which you solved ? can you help me solve this problem?

thank you!

when i followed the steps in the "de5net_network_opencl_manual.pdf", i got the following problems:

1.in "test ‘aocl flash’ command" section, after i finished the clock setting and tried to use "aocl program acl0 bin/fft2d.aocx" to test the progrom, i got the following errors:

aocl program: Running reprogram from /home/storm/altera/14.0/hld/board/de5net_network/linux64/libexec

Unable to open the device acl0.

aocl program: Program failed.

2.in the "driver installation " section, when i use "aocl install " or "./make_all " to install the driver, i got the following errors:

aocl install: Running install from /home/storm/altera/14.0/hld/board/de5net_network/linux64/libexec

The Operating system is Ubuntu and the board is De5-NET FPGA.

I appreciate if anyone can help me.

I need the same problem.Please help me! Thank you!

I have an easier way of getting this running which works on the latest Centos-7 and I presume will also work on Ubuntu and other distributions.

First navigate to the linux/driver of the BSP.

Firstly edit aclpci.c: At the top of the file add the lines

#define __devinit
# define __devexit

Secondly edit aclpci_cmd.c: On line 83 remove the assignment

Change
    result = pci_restore_state(aclpci->pci_dev);
to 
    pci_restore_state(aclpci->pci_dev);

On lines 438-440 comment out (or delete) the statement

if (dev->aer_firmware_first) { 
    return -EIO; 
}

You should now be able to run "aocl install" successfully.
