How can I install OpenCL FPGA SDK Prime Pro 16.0?

I'm trying to install aocl compiler for HARP environment (Arria10), I followed the instructions and whenever I try to compile a project it happens the following error:

aoc: This release of Altera SDK for OpenCL on A10 requires Quartus Prime Pro Edition. However, the following version was found:

Quartus Prime Shell

Version 16.0.0 Build 211 04/27/2016 SJ Standard Edition

Copyright (C) 1991-2016 Altera Corporation. All rights reserved.

I have used setup_pro.sh to install it and I'm using bdw BSP from Intel. There's one more problem, the pop-up says that the installation is completed but it freezes and never exits I have to do it manually through xkill.

I'd really appreciate some help :)

    Hi,

    From the message, I saw that the you have install Standard version instead Pro version.

    I have check back to the link: http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/opencl/16.0/?edition=standard&download_manager=direct does not show whether the opencl is pro edition or standard edition.

    According to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/downloads/download-center.html, the Arria10 device have supported in latest version Quartus Prime Pro v19.3 and Quartus Prime Standard v19.1.

    I would like to recommend you to download the version mentioned above and then you can go to the link: http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/opencl/19.1/?edition=standard to download OpenCL SDK based on the bsp version you have download.

    Thanks

      Thank you very much for answering me Mylee, but I do need 16.0.x version. I can't use a newer version than that. This version has a pro edition, but It's in inside the folder. I don't know why the OpenCL tool is not calling the right version. Do you know how to solve it?

      Hi,

      I have set this variable, but the aoc compiler always open the standard version. If I try to open manually, it opens the pro version. I have tried to change the script to open the pro version, but it didn't work either. Is there any way to change that?

    Hi,

    May I know which Os you are using?

    According to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/opencl-sdk/archives/ug-aocl-getting-started-16.0.pdf in page 3-6 which stated: "Set the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE user environment variable to point to the correct Quartus Prime software installation directory. Open a shell and then type echo $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE at the command prompt. If you have an Arria 10 device, set QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE to point to the installation directory of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software. Otherwise, set QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE to point to the installation directory of the Quartus Prime Standard Edition software."

    Can you try to type the command: echo $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE and put the results here? Also, I would like to know the environment variable setup, can you put the output here?

    Lastly, may I know do you have install the linux OS kernel source and headers as stated in page 3-2?

    Thanks
