cannot run GitHub samples on OneAPI FPGA emulator

[wan12]

I recently installed Ubuntu version 22.04 on my Mac2018. After the installation, I successfully installed the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (Base Kit) along with the FPGA Support Package for the Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler.

However, I cannot compile the program on the FPGA emulator although I tried the recommended configurations by following Intel's documentation. The error shows below.

wanyu@wanyu-MacBookPro15-1:~/Desktop/vector-add/build$ make fpga_emu
[ 50%] Linking CXX executable ../vector-add-usm.fpga_emu

Could you kindly provide guidance on the specific configurations or steps that need to be performed during the installation or post-installation to enable FPGA emulator support?

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.

Thank you,

Hi @wan12,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

Based on the error message seen, suspecting that certain environment variable are not set hence the missing platform ID.

And also check on the required GCC version which is required for the emulation.

More details can be found in the link below:

Hope that clarify.

Hi @wan12 ,

The error you're seeing is at compile time. Could you please try un-installing and re-installing the Base Toolkit and FPGA Support Package? Other users have reported that re-installing the tools fixes this problem.
