11 years agoHi rotty,
If the board shows up in the Hardware Manager as "Altera FPGA Accelerator 13.0", this proves that the OpenCL driver is correctly installed on your machine and that the board is functional, e.g. no issues with only 4GB of RAM (that is to run host application, building design is a different issue - the compilation process requires a larger amount of RAM) or using a x16 slot (for maximum bandwidth make sure that 8 lanes of the 16 lanes slots are connected to the motherboard). Assuming Windows 7 64-bit & admin rights, can you please double check your environment variables? Here is what my ** System Variables ** are set to: ** System Variables ** ALTERAOCLSDKROOT C:\altera\13.1\hld PATH %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\windows64\bin; %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\bin; %QUARTUS_ROOTDIR%\bin; QUARTUS_ROOT C:\altera\13.1\quartus AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE (not set) ** - ** [1] - Can you now run "aoc --list-boards" OK? What is the output? [2] - When you reprogrammed your flash, what design did you use? You should use a precompiled design from this page: http://www.altera.com/support/examples/opencl/opencl.html (I would advise the vectorAdd example but it really doesn't matter). When you build your own designs make sure you're using 13.1. [3] - Can you still see the board listed in the Hardware Manager as "Altera FPGA Accelerator 13.0"? [4] - If you are still having issues, can you run the "SET" command in a Windows Command Prompt and post the output here? Thanks, Gildas
