Two questions about intel FPGA opencl sdk !

Question

I have a DE1-SOC board and attempt to build the OPENCL environment.

The first question——I downloaded the 16.1 SDK and chose CENTOS 7 as the linux OS , but found SOCEDS 16.1 is not supported by the RETHAT 7.

Warning would occur when the host program was cross-compiled. But it would be OK when the SDK 、quartus 、SOCEDS were all 14.0.

SO can I use the 16.1 OPENCL SDK while the versions of Quartus and SOCEDS are both 14.0 in the CENTOS 7 ?

Another question——when I executed the helloworld in the DE1-SOC (using the BSP 14.0), the "CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT" is “FALSE” . Does it mean DE1-SOC

can't support the image process function of OPENCL or updating the SDK can fix it ?

The software and OS support matrix is here:

SoCEDS is not supported on CentOS 7 at all (regardless of version). You should use CentOS 6.5.

Make sure to read the Getting Started guide for your board and set it up correctly.

Thank you ! I'll change the OS to CENTOS 6.5 firstly.
