    If by "platform" you mean the host code, it runs on the CPU. The aocx file only contains the kernel code. The host code has to be compiled separately with a standard c/c++ compiler and will have its own standard x86/x64/Arm binary.

    The "platform" is not meaning the host code,which means the hardware we develop in verilog HDL . I want to know wheather the .aocx files which contains of both opencl kernel and the target board or not .
