OpenCL Initialization Error, Ver. 14.0.1.205

I have no problems building and running the vector addition example using Ver. 14.0 of the Altera OpenCL SDK (I'm running the Bittware s5phq). However, after installing the recent update (Ver. 14.0.1.205), I can still build the .aocx file with no errors:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

>vcvars64.bat

>aoc -v -c vectorAdd.cl

aoc: Environment checks are completed successfully.

aoc: Selected target board s5phq_d5

aoc: Running OpenCL parser....

aoc: OpenCL parser completed successfully.

aoc: Compiling....

aoc: Linking with IP library ...

aoc: First stage compilation completed successfully.

aoc: To compile this project, run "aoc vectorAdd.aoco"

>aoc -v vectorAdd.aoco -o vectorAdd_20140904.aocx

aoc: Environment checks are completed successfully.

aoc: Setting up project for CvP revision flow....

aoc: Hardware generation completed successfully.

But now I have new problems when attempting to run the example:

Initializing OpenCL

Platform: Altera SDK for OpenCL

Using 1 device(s)

s5phq_d5 : S5PHQ

Using AOCX: vectorAdd.aocx

MMD INFO : [acl0] New FPGA design has different periphery from programmed design.

mmd program_device: Board reprogram failed

What is all of this about? Anyone else have issues like this with the latest update installed?

Thanks!

    Did you re-flash the board with an updated image?

    Hi Rudy, that's a great observation. I was under the impression that the latest Bittware top.rbf files were generated under 14.0 (not 14.0.1, but maybe I'm wrong on that). Anyway, now that I have a new top.rb file generated from the Vector Addition example using Ver. 14.0.1, I'll load that version, at least that is what I suspect might work based on your feedback. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Thanks again!
