Stratix10 Hello_world hanging

[NPund]

Hi,

I followed all the steps specified by Terasic for the device 1SG280HU2F50E2V).

Flashed the top.sdf in user region and is successfully identified by aocl diagnose.

but when I try to do

aocl program acl0 hello_worl.aocx, It gets stuck while programming.

I checked the kernel module code and its getting stuck in while loop

In aclpci_pr.c

 // Wait for PR complete 

 status = ioread32(aclpci->bar[ACL_PRCONTROLLER_BAR]+ACL_PRCONTROLLER_OFFSET+ALT_PR_CSR_OFST);

 ACL_DEBUG (KERN_DEBUG "ALT_PR_CSR_OFST status is 0x%08X", (int) status);

 while(status != ALT_PR_CSR_STATUS_PR_SUCCESS)

 {

  msleep(100);

  status = ioread32(aclpci->bar[ACL_PRCONTROLLER_BAR]+ACL_PRCONTROLLER_OFFSET+ALT_PR_CSR_OFST);

  ACL_DEBUG (KERN_DEBUG "ALT_PR_CSR_OFST status is 0x%08X", (int) status);

 };

I checked the dmesg It is showing this error code.

dmesg output

[ 219.116119] aclpci_pr (185):

I removed while loop and recompiled kernel module so that module doesn't hang but I don't understand what is the problem here while programming the PR.

Hello,

I will investigate your request and let you know my feedback.

In the mean time, may I know which BSP did you use?

Did you do any customization?

Thanks

Hi,

These are the details;

OS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

BSP - DE10-Pro (1SG280HU2F50E2V) BSP for Intel OpenCL 18.1.1 provided by Terasic on their website.

aocl version - aocl 18.1.2.277 (Intel(R) FPGA SDK for OpenCL(TM), Version 18.1.2 Build 277 Pro Edition, Copyright (C) 2019 Intel Corporation)

Quartus Prime Pro version - Quartus Prime Version 18.1.2 Build 277 02/12/2019 SJ Pro Edition

And No I didn't do any customization.

I also tried to compile the aocx hello_world file from scratch. I got this error from aoc

Error (119013): Current license file does not support the 1SG280HU2F50E2VG device. Go to the Self-Service Licensing Center on the Intel FPGA website to manage your licenses (https://mysupport.altera.com/AlteraLicensing/license/index.html). 

Error: Quartus Prime Fitter was unsuccessful. 1 error, 1 warning

Even though I have Quartus Prime Pro license.

Hello,

it seems like a licensing issue.

Is your License valid for Quartus Pro version?

Thanks

[NPund]

Yes, I have Quartus Pro license. But don't know if it supports all Stratix10 devices, which technically it should right?

I also contacted the licensing team, they said to seek help from the forum.

[NPund · Accepted solution]

The BSP was unsupported for the device.

And the licensing issue was solved after following this

https://www.intel.com/content/www/en/zh/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2019/error-119013---current-license-file-does-not-support-the--device.html?wapkw=error+%28119013%29%3a.

Thanks,
