Failed to run FPGA program on DevCloud

[Jung__Jaehoon]

Hello.

I copied "oneapi-tookit-development.zip" from "/data/..." and ran FPGA vector add program in it.

I followed instructions in

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/getting-started-with-intel-devcloud-for-oneapi-projects#inpage-nav-3-2

However, I get following error messages when I run it:

"run_fpga_hw.sh.e8560"---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you help me?

I loggined in to devcloud server as user31536.

I didn't change any environments and just followed instructions in the "Getting started with Intel DevCloud for Intel oneAPI Projects".

Is this enough?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm in the same situation and got the same errors when trying to run vector-add on a FPGA.

Thanks,

Rafa.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. Even the "setvars.sh" script fails when trying to initialize the board:

I have tried to manually load the "default.aocx" using "aocl program" utility but it fails with the same error.

In my case the problem is intermittent. I was able to use the board correctly for a while, then I got the mentioned error and after a few days it disappeared on its own. Now it reappeared.
