aoc error for emulation

[Kulkarni__Vinay]

Hi,

   I installed opencl intel fpga sdk 19.2 and after installation the hello world example seems to compile smoothly taking default board as Arria10GX. But when i try giving the emulator compilation, i get following error:

My Machine spec:

Xeon-16 cores,32 GB RAM and Ubuntu 18.04.

 aoc -march=emulator  -fast-emulator -v device/hello_world.cl -o bin/hello_world.aocx
Warning: Command has been deprecated. The Fast Emulator is the default emulator; use -legacy-emulator if you wish to target the Legacy Emulator.
Error: aoc: The Intel(R) Kernel Builder for OpenCL(TM) compiler (ioc64) can not be found

Any idea on how i can fix this.

Hello Intel Folks,

     May i request you to please suggest solution for me. I need emulator urgently for my development.

Hello Vinay,

Sorry for delay in answer.

In previous version of aoc you should use "-march=emulator and -fast-emulator".

In 19.2 version, please, use "-march=emulator -legacy-emulator".

I guess, documentation of aoc was not updated to 19.2.

Best regards,

Sergey

Thanks Sergey for your help.

Now i am able to compile, but running gives error as below:

ERROR: CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND
Location: ../common/src/AOCLUtils/opencl.cpp:356
Query for number of devices failed

Please let me know how i can get this working.

My Runs are as below :

Vinay,

Please, check that you set the environment variable CL_CONTEXT_EMULATOR_DEVICE_INTELFPGA=<number_of_devices>.

For more information about emulating OpenCL Kernels read here.

Hi Sergey,

       I work in Vinay's team. I was trying out the Sobel Filter Design Example. While compiling the host code I got this error 

host/src/display.cpp:23:10: fatal error: SDL2/SDL.h: No such file or directory
 #include <SDL2/SDL.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

                      ^
Makefile:74: recipe for target 'bin/host' failed

Please help me to solve this.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Hamsika,

Sorry for delay.

Could you please check that you have libsdl2-dev on your machine?

If not, you can install it by executing this command:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
