Thanks for your comment, but I'm pretty sure that I'm using a compatible version. Yet, I only compiled the VHDL test, I didn't generate the bitstream or program the device. That would require me to do some extra work.

With respect to the board, Intel-Altera produce a hybrid Xeon-FPGA system, which they offer to researchers for testing within the HARP program.

That extra work would just be to check the compatibility of Quartus 17 with your board. Concerning the OpenCL SDK and the BSP for your board, this document (https://communities.intel.com/docs/doc-112103) gives detailed installation instructions for the Xeon-FPGA system, but refers to v. 16.0.2 of both Quartus and the OpenCL SDK. Did you follow instructions given by a similar document yet updated to v. 17 of the software?
