Running de1soc Vector_add example on de5-net

If you are trying to use the example shipped with the Terasic SoC board, it is obviously not going to work on DE5-Net since the latter is not an SoC board. The example will, by default, compile the host code for ARM, while for DE5-Net you should compile the host code for a standard x86/x64 CPU.

Use the x64 version of the benchmark provided here:

https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-examples/design-software/opencl/vector-addition.html

P.S. The error you are getting above is due to the necessary ARM cross-compiler not being available on your system. You should install the necessary packages if you want to cross-compile for ARM. You can easily find the package names by searching google for the missing file. Obviously, this is not needed if you are targeting the DE5-Net board.

Thanks for your response. I have run DE5-Net test examples successfully on the Machine. But I was asked if it is possible to run de1soc test examples on DE5-Net. So based on your comments it is not possible. Is that correct?

I think the test examples from DE1-SoC and DE5-Net are the same, just targeting different boards.

You can modify the examples from DE1-SoC manually to target DE5-Net. You should modify the makefile so that the host compiler is changed from arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ to g++, and the target board is de5net_a7 instead of whatever it is right now.

I changed the red section to g++ but it is not working. Should I delete Cross_compile ( green ) part ?

Thanks,
