FPGA OpenCL installation

[Quantitative_Finance]

I am running Quartus Pro 21.3 with DE10-Pro Stratix 10 BSP from 20.3.  According to the installation guide, you need to set QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE to quartus 20.3 path in order for you to use OpenCL 21.3 with an older BSP.  But, when I did that, both the flashing and the compilation still used 21.3 and the compilation failed indicating that it was using an older TCP/IP core with quartus.  Does 20.3 need to be in the path?  What does QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE do?  Seems to me that it's useless and you just need to set Quartus 20.3 in the path while you have OpenCL pointing to 21.3.  What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi @Quantitative_Finance,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum, hope all is well and apologies for the delayed in response.
Mind if I ask in which OS are you using? Assuming windows, are the environment variable set at the command prompt or manually in the system property?

Is the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE showing up when you echo the path or environment variables? Does the aocl install command run successfully?
Hope to hear from you soon.
