OpenCL installation for the arrow sockit board

Altera_Forum · ‎07-09-2014

I am trying to install opencl for the arrow sockit board but I'm having trouble installing the FPGA board. In the "Altera SDK for opencl, getting started" manual, on page 1-10 it is said that one should download the custom platform for the FPGA board from the board vendor's website. I downloaded the custom platform toolkit for windows from this webpage : http://www.altera.co.uk/products/software/partners/opencl/opencl-board-partner-index.html .

After that I followed the directives of the "altera sdk for opencl, custom platform toolkit user guide": I set the AOCL_BOARD_TOOLKIT_ROOT to point to the custom platform subdirectory in which I have the board_env.xml file and I changed the attribute "name" in the board_env tag of the board_env.xml file to point to the installation directory containing the custom platform.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<board_env version="13.0" name="board_package">
  <hardware dir="hardware" default="template"></hardware>
  <platform name="linux64">
    <linkflags>-L%a/linux64/lib</linkflags>
    <linklibs>-lalterahalmmd</linklibs>
    <utilbindir>%b/linux64/bin</utilbindir>
  </platform>
  <platform name="windows64">
    <linkflags>/libpath:%a/host/windows64/lib</linkflags>
    <linklibs>alterahalmmd.lib </linklibs>
    <utilbindir>%b/windows64/bin</utilbindir>
  </platform>
</board_env>

When I type the command aocl board-xml-test I get this :

board-path = c:\altera\13.1\hld\board\c5soc\board_package

board-default = template

board-hw-path = c:\altera\13.1\hld\board\c5soc\board_package/hardware/template

board-link-flags = /libpath:c:/altera/13.1/hld/host/windows64/lib

board-libs = alterahalmmd.lib

board-util-bin = c:\altera\13.1\hld\board\c5soc\board_package/windows64/bin

When I type aocl install I get this message :

--------------------------------------------------------------------

no board installation routine supplied.

please consult your board manufacturer's documentation or support

team for information on how to properly install your board.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

and when I type the command : aoc --list-boards, I get this :

board list:

none found

What could be the problem?

I am working in windows 7 64 bits and have installed the versio 13.1 of quartus, cyclone v and stratix v support device, opencl for altera.
