Error when performing emulation for v19.3

[DongWang-BJTU]

I have recently upgraded to OpenCLSDK v19.3 for FPGA, but the emulator generates the following error when I was tring to perform emulation:

Error: Malformed program binary: missing .acl.board section

Error: kernel argument info is not available

Error: Invalid binary

ERROR: CL_INVALID_BINARY

The same code works fine for both 18.1 and 19.1.

I was using Ubuntu 16.04.6, gcc was upgraded to v6.5 (gcc version 6.5.0 20181026 (Ubuntu 6.5.0-2ubuntu1~16.04))

The following env has also been set

export CL_CONFIG_CPU_EMULATE_DEVICES=1

Does anyone know what I am missing ?

The helloworld example in the hld dir also fails:

problem solved after I replaced the old Altera.icd file with the new one in the 19.3 folder.

Hi,

I am glad to see your problem had been solved.

Thanks for update.

Thanks
