11 years agoI am trying to install opencl for the arrow sockit board but I'm having trouble installing the FPGA board. In the "Altera SDK for opencl, getting started" manual, on page 1-10 it is said that one should download the custom platform for the FPGA board from the board vendor's website. I downloaded the custom platform toolkit for windows from this webpage : http://www.altera.co.uk/products/software/partners/opencl/opencl-board-partner-index.html .
After that I followed the directives of the "altera sdk for opencl, custom platform toolkit user guide": I set the AOCL_BOARD_TOOLKIT_ROOT to point to the custom platform subdirectory in which I have the board_env.xml file and I changed the attribute "name" in the board_env tag of the board_env.xml file to point to the installation directory containing the custom platform.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<board_env version="13.0" name="board_package">
<hardware dir="hardware" default="template"></hardware>
<platform name="linux64">
<linkflags>-L%a/linux64/lib</linkflags>
<linklibs>-lalterahalmmd</linklibs>
<utilbindir>%b/linux64/bin</utilbindir>
</platform>
<platform name="windows64">
<linkflags>/libpath:%a/host/windows64/lib</linkflags>
<linklibs>alterahalmmd.lib </linklibs>
<utilbindir>%b/windows64/bin</utilbindir>
</platform>
</board_env>
When I type the command aocl board-xml-test I get this : board-path = C:\altera\13.1\hld\board\c5soc\board_package board-default = template board-hw-path = C:\altera\13.1\hld\board\c5soc\board_package/hardware/template board-link-flags = /libpath:C:/altera/13.1/hld/host/windows64/lib board-libs = alterahalmmd.lib board-util-bin = C:\altera\13.1\hld\board\c5soc\board_package/windows64/bin When I type aocl install I get this message : -------------------------------------------------------------------- No board installation routine supplied. Please consult your board manufacturer's documentation or support team for information on how to properly install your board. -------------------------------------------------------------------- and when I type the command : aoc --list-boards, I get this : Board list: none found What could be the problem? I am working in windows 7 64 bits and have installed the versio 13.1 of quartus, cyclone v and stratix v support device, opencl for altera.
