OpenCL BSP for Stratix 10 GX Development Kit (H-Tile)

Hello, I want to get the Stratix 10 GX OpenCL BSP running on the Stratix 10 GX Development Kit (device part number: 1SG280HU2F50E2VG). It seems that the BSP reference platform targets the L-tile ver...

    Hi @gustifix,


    Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

    Note as Intel OpenCL has been depreciated, hence the support that we can provide would be the best that we can.


    Unfortunately, the S10GX BSP are for the mention H-tile version.

    And yes you may following the porting guide mentioned, per my understanding different between H-tile and L-tile are just the transceiver variant, hence other should be good.

    Hope that clarify


    Best Wishes

Hi @BoonBengT_Altera,

Thanks for the help so far! After a few compiles with different seeds, I got a version that meets timing. I followed the porting guide further and now I have a top.sof file for the 1SG280HU2F50. When trying to program the file via the Quartus programmer, after clicking "Auto detect", I have to choose the exact device number:

I choose 1SG280HU2 and get this chain:

When I add top.sof, it shows up as a different device:

If I delete the 1SG280HU2 so the chain looks like this:

I get "Error status: Synchronization failed" when trying to program the device.

Does programming the sof directly just not work in this case and should I generate the pof for flash, or is there a way to program the FPGA this way?

Thanks and best regards

Felix

OK, generating the pof seems to be the right way. I followed this video to generate flash.pof from top.sof. The only change from the video was to set P1 of CFI_1Gb to 0x00200000 instead of 0x000D0000.

After a cold reboot, the device now shows up as "Processing accelerators: Altera Corporation Device 5170" in lspci.
