Redirect kernel output into other port than pci with OpenCL.

Hi I am trying to redirect kernel output into other port than pcie. I am thinking about ethernet port to send the data. Does anybody have an idea how can get access to the specific port on the board?

Thanks!

    Some board vendors supply an I/O channel in their BSP that can be used to send and receive data through Ethernet ports available on the board; though, at least for Arria 10, you will need to purchase Altera's low-latency MAC IP core which is extremely expensive.

    Thank you HRZ for the reply, do you know how to include such ip in the OpenCl kernel?

    If you want to try adding such I/O channel manually to your BSP, read the "Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Custom Platform Toolkit User Guide".
