So, from this website (https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/projects/openclmandelbrotdemoonatlassoc) we can see that your board can run OpenCL. From the same website, we see that the requirements for running OpenCL on that board are: So to answer one of your questions, yes, you do need a license for quartus and the altera opencl sdk to run it. From the last error you are getting, it is clear that the Altera OpenCL SDK is not installed (or you have no license). I do not know if a license is included with this kit, or if there is a free license for the CycloneV chip included on your board. Maybe someone else can give some input on this. Take a look at this altera manual: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/opencl-sdk/aocl_c5soc_getting_started.pdf Also, first step should be to get that Mandelbrot demo working (after you get your licenses). Good luck! --- Quote End --- Hello, I am trying to follow this: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/education/demonstrations/online/licensing/how-to-create-a-new-license.pdf Which is the STEP BY STEP guide... However on STEP 6, my page is BLANK. I dont see any devices... Ugh, there has to be an easier way to get this going. If you could steer me into the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
