Hi,

Good dat to you.

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

To assist you better, could you please let us know which DevCloud you are using? Is it DevCloud for Edge/oneAPI?

Thanks

Hi!

I am using Devcloud oneAPI I believe. I use ssh to get to devcloud. I also select Arria 10 PAC Compilation and Programming - RTL, AFU, OpenCL once I am sshed. I use version 1.2.1 of the Arria. After setting up the tools via tools_setup I do the above steps as shown in the previous post and face the readonly file error. 

Thank you for you help - please let me know what to do.

Hi,

We are able to run the same from our end.

As you are trying to run the command from /glob , you are getting the "OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'build_synth". Because it is not a writable space.

You can copy the hello_afu folder locally and do the same operation without any issues.

Please use the below commands.

1. Copy the folder :

cp -r /glob/development-tools/versions/fpgasupportstack/a10/1.2.1/inteldevstack/a10_gx_pac_ias_1_2_1_pv/hw/samples/hello_afu .

2. Move into that folder

cd hello_afu/

3. Run the command

afu_synth_setup --source hw/rtl/filelist.txt build_synth

Please find the screenshot for reference.

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issue.

Thanks
