New ContributorCopying here a known issue with Ubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.14 or newer), just in case anyone land here searching on this.
New Contributor@MUsman any feedback on this issues? Since my last update, I've switched to CentOS 7 - hoping there was an issue with Ubuntu - exact same results. I also realized I had clicked on the 30 day eval license when installing Quartus and hoped that was the issue. I put my full license on this machine - no change.
So now we have people reporting the exact same issue on Windows 7, Ubuntu, and CentOS 7. We follow the instructions in AN 807 and it doesn't work - and there is no way to debug it. What causes the aocl flash command to always return the help dialogue??
In step 5 of "Initializing the Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit for use with OpenCL" it says:
After you program the FPGA and perform a soft reboot, the host system should recognize the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit PCIe card. Your system must recognize the card before you load the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ driver.
Ok, how do we confirm it recognizes the card? If it doesn't, what steps can we take? Should lspci shows the board? If so, what will it show up as? Is there a way to see if it finds the board but can't find the driver for it??
