Compile Error in AOCL 17.0.2 environment

In the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL 16.1.2 version, our project can be compiled successfully. But when we update the software version into Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL 17.0, the compiling is error!

the information shown in the file 'quartus_sh_compile.log' is as follows:

    I had issues compiling when I bumped to 17.0 as well. I didn't see the error(s) that you are seeing but I did overlook the fact that the BSP I was using needed a specific update of Quartus 17.0. I needed 17.0.1 and was using 17.0.2. Have you verified the correct Quartus version with your BSP documentation? It's a long shot but worth checking.

    The Support Request on mysupport.altera.com area lists !!! 10 !!! 17.x versions of the QuartusPrime when you open an SR. I also had a bug in 17.0 which is still not fixed. I would send this to your local FAE.

    This is certainly correct. For Arria 10, BSP version and Quartus version MUST match. Terasic, for instance, does not have a BSP for v17.0 or any of its subversions yet and hence, people using the Terasic DE5A-Net board should continue using Quartus v16.1.2.
