[Error] Quartus not find while ./install_openvino_fpga_dependencies.sh script - Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA (IEI's Mustang-F100-A10)

[fschu12]

I get a "Quartus not find" Error on executing the ./install_openvino_fpga_dependencies.sh script. I manually downloaded and installed the Quartus software "Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux" but I still get this error. I want to get the Mustang-F100-A10 running. Here is the Detailed Error from the script. Can you please help me:

Hi,

Have you try to remove intel-igc-core manually : sudo apt-get remove <package-name> ?

Thanks.

[KhaiChein_Y_Intel]

Hi, May I know if you have any updates? Thanks.

[APate11]

I'm having the same issue and the above fix did not work - what else can I try?

[KhaiChein_Y_Intel]

Hi @APate11​ ,

Could you share the error message? What is the output message when you remove the library manually? What OS you were using?

Thanks.

[KhaiChein_Y_Intel]

Hi @APate11,

May I know if you have any updates?

Thanks.

Well, I also get this error.

I used Ubuntu 16.04.1, with CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 @ 3.40GHz

I also have manually installed "Quartus-18.1.0.625-linux-complete", but when I tried to follow the installation guide: https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_VisionAcceleratorFPGA_Configure_2019R1.html

I got the very same error like @fschu12​ .

Could you please help me to solve this problem? @KhaiY_Intel​ 

Thanks a lot!!

[KhaiChein_Y_Intel]

Hi,

Can you use Ubuntu* 16.04.3 LTS (64 bit) as this is the compatible OS?

https://software.intel.com/en-us/openvino-toolkit/documentation/system-requirements

Thanks.

[YTsen4]

Um, actually, the biggest problem I encountered is that PCIe even could not detect it.

I need to contact to my PC provider, thus if there is any further progress, I will let you know.

Thanks a lot for your fast reply.

[KhaiChein_Y_Intel]

Sure. Just let me know when you have any updates.

Finally, I found the problem is that I did not provide enough power to my FPGA board.

Then, the problem is solved by utilizing a external power supplier.

However, the same error message popped up and it is solved by typing sudo updatedb

When I followed the instructions in the following link:

https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_VisionAcceleratorFPGA_Configure_2019R1.html

I am a little bit stuck at the first part of step 14.

1. Could you please tell me why do I need USB Blaster?
2. Aren't the programs in the FPGA board had been already burned into it?
3. Will it affect the DL model which I want to accelerate?

Thanks a lot for your help!

​Best,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

If you refer to the link https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_VisionAcceleratorFPGA_Configure_2019R1.html, the USB Blaster is used for programming the BSP into the board. Referring to the steps, you have to program the sof file and and the aocx files into the board.

Thanks.
