openvino starterkit with cyclone 5

[MMoha9]

hello, i was trying do test inference engine with cyclone 5 fpga on the starterkit openvino (C5P <=>OSK ).

when i tried to do the inference on fpga : i got this error:

root@UP2:/opt/intel/2019_r1/openvino/deployment_tools/terasic_demo/demo# ./02_security_barrier.sh fpga

target_device = HETERO:FPGA,CPU

target_precision = FP16

i fact, the board is only connected to laptop using JTAG cable , there is not PCIe connection.

so anyone have any suggestions about this error?

should i connect the board with PCIe slot to the host to do inference?

thanks in advance

Hello,

Openvino starterkit with cyclone 5 fpga supports the inference through openvino toolkit. But we need to connect the fpga to the PCIE slot. But i want to do inference with out connecting the board to the PCIE, it is possible for the intel fpga devices such as arria and stratix?

Thanks,

Regards
