Hi Arslan,

thanks for your reply.

Please find the log file attached.

I followed the instructions contained in "DE10-Standard OpenCL User Manual".

As I wrote, my concern is about the Quartus license. On page 13 of the document, paragraph 2.2 License Installation, it is written:

"An Quartus license is required to compile OpenCL project. Users can purchase the license from

Intel. A file named “license.dat” will be given upon purchasing Quartus license."

I am afraid this could be the issue.

I am using a low cost entry level FPGA board and would like to evaluate OpenCL programming.

Thanks,

Alex

    Hi ALex,

    You definitely need a Quartus License to compile.

    With OpenCL version 16.0 you will need License for both OpenCL and Quartus.

    However with Quartus version 18.0 you only need Quartus License.

    Thanks,

    Arslan
