Honored ContributorMixing OpenCL kernel with VHDL Netlists
Hi, Is it possible for the output of an OpenCL kernel to reside in the same FPGA as a VHDL netlist? For example, could I implement an algorithm in OpenCL and a display driver in VHDL? The intentio...

A device driver should then be written, in say C when using LINUX, to address the custom logic that is not related to the OpenCL kernel..
