    Hi @davidwigley,

    Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.
    I have tried the instruction in the similar nodes mention and are able to program successfully. (i.e. complete steps 3.6)


    Hence suspecting there might be some missing steps, would suggest to to check on the following:
    1) Selecting the correct development stack source which is 1.2.1.
    2) Recompile the program by running make clean followed by make command.
    3) Are you able to compile the opencl code into the FPGA executable successfully?
    Please do try and let us know if that helps.

    Best Wishes

Hi @BoonBengT_Altera ,

Appreciate the response and help. I have reviewed that post and am still stuck. My issue is not with running the program in emulation mode, that works.

Do you know what else causes the warning Context callback: Malformed program binary: missing .acl.board section to occur?

Apologies if this is a silly question but I am not very familiar with OpenCL nor DevCloud.

I do not believe it is from my development environment since I running out of the DevCloud, but I am not sure.

The board diagnostics appear ok, programming yields no errors, and this issue is persistent across nodes.

Best,

David
