Well, unless your board vendor can supply the OpenCL board support package, then you will have to develop one.

This is useful (p.89++ especially): http://www.in2p3.fr/actions/formation/numerique16/altera_opencl.pdf

And of course this: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/opencl-sdk/ug_aocl_custom_platform_toolkit.pdf

Dear ak6dn.

Thanks for guide line. I think my old board is satisfied with hardware condition in ALTERA_OPENCL.pdf page 73. But unless my board vendor can supply the OpenCL board support package, than i will make all like as xml file, MMD Library ... etc. Is it right?

Many thanks.
