Can I use Signal Tap for Altera OpenCL analysis?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use signal tap for OpenCL analysis.

But I couldn't compile the design with Signal Tap resources by quartus II or AOCL.

Do you have any option to use Signal Tap?

Thank you.

    This signal tap should be only with FGPA area for signal processing, however the open CL is mainly for C/C++ software algorithm data processing. And mainly more to the kernel +host software. so far not yet heard of signal tap in open CL yet. why do you need that usage?

    I only wanted to analyze the kernel's data behavior by Signal Tap.

    Thank you.

    ok.... understand, it depend what sort of data are you trying to know, usually when moved to kernel level under the soc.. the suitable tool that we can use to monitor is with some data logging/ printf only..
