Problems with OpenCL SDK 13.0 on Windows 7

Hi all,

I've recently upgraded to OpenCL SDK ver. 13.0 on Win7/64 (2x Xeon + 64GB RAM)

After the installation (Quartus + OCL SDK) I tried to compile the moving average design sample with:

"aoc --board pcie385n_d5 --report moving_average.cl"

as a sanity check. I observe that right after creating the Quartus project files and reporting the initial kernel analysis on the command line, aoc simply stops. There are no files written/updated under the project folder and task manager shows 0% CPU activity.

I've checked that Quartus is installed and can be run properly over our network licence. The same goes for OpenCL SDK. Strange thing is I get no error messages... aoc just stops.

Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

    If you run into compilation issues then you might try rolling back to 13.0 without the design pack installed. I highly doubt that's what is causing this so only try that as a last resort.

    I just noticed you are located in Turkey. If you are using Turkish keyboard localization try switching to English and try again. I vaguely remember an old SOPC Builder issue with Turkish language settings, in particlar the three different letters for 'i' and how we performed upper/lower case string conversions was problematic.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Turns out that our license renewal was blotched.

    I believe this is the rootcause here. Will update as soon as I have anything to say.
