Honored ContributorOpenCL SDK 15.0 not opening
I have downloaded 15.0 FPGA design and SDK for openCL.
Istallation process done, but just quartus is working and for OpneCL SDK terminal open for a second and close by it self. I am not able to open it. anyone can help me?:(12 Replies
Altera_Forumcan you run the command "aocl diagnose"? What does this tell you?

Many thanks for reply...
But could you please let me know where should I write this command? I am using windows 8 and I am able to open only Quartus. I am not able to run OenCL SDK. I followed every instuction of "Getting started from ALTERA" - Altera_Forum
You have to open a command prompt, in the start menu search for cmd, right click->run as administrator
Then enter the command. - Altera_Forum
cmd is Showning me Error: "The comand 'aocl' is not recognised. command not found"
- Altera_Forum
Then it looks like OpenCL was not installed. I assume you followed the getting started guide. Did you get any errors during installation?

Let me give you all Detail:
My PC has below system properties: OS : Windows 8 Pro RAM: 4 GB System type:64 Bit, X-86 based processor. Now as per manual, Devloper need 24 GB RAM, So in this case am I work as devloper? If yes then Do I need 24GB RAM? I have installed Quartus and Altera Open CL SDK , didnt get any error during installation. Quartus is working fine but OpenCL is not working. e.g. I click on Open CL program , it opens with a terminal window for a msec and close it byself. I checked in installed program, and OpenCL SDK is there. One more thing I would like to clarify is, I will write C code for FPGA board and using OpenCL SDK I will be able to load program in to FPGA board, Am I understand correct? Just for Info: I havent connected any FPGA board with my Pc. Is it okay to work on OpenCL without board? Thanks for reply. - Altera_Forum
Ckncerning the RAM, as you will generate the hardware, yes you are a developer. The ammou t of RAM needed depends on your design and target chip. You can try with 4GB, but it miht not be enough, I work with an Arria 10, which needs 64 GB, that is the only rference I got.
You don't write C, you write OpenCL, which is C with some added functionality, and some "removed" functionality. In the case of not having a board, I think you can use the emulator. Please see this thread:http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51433. I also think you don't need much RAM for that, but I haven't checked that. - Altera_Forum
Thanks again.
I will work on below board. http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/arrowsockitevaluationboard Its Cyclone V. Could you please let me know homany minimum memory will I needed for it? and Where will I write OpenCL? in OpenCL SDK software right? - Altera_Forum
Hi..
I will write code in OpenCL, but I will write code in "OpenCL SDK". right? I will use CycloneV devloper board. please check it : http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/arrowsockitevaluationboard Could you please let me know Howmany at least memory for it needed? - Altera_Forum
Hi
I will use Cyclone V kit. http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/arrowsockitevaluationboard Could you please let me know how many memory it needed? I will do OpenCL coding in OpenCL SDK, Right?
