I am interested in knowing does the Arria V soc dev kit support OpenCL? I am looking for an opencl enabled soc dev kit with PCIe Gen2. I could not find enough references for Arria V dev kit as compare to cyclone V. Does Arria V soc dev kit support openCL? If so where can i find all the files needed for the same?
