Cannot compile .cl files

Altera_Forum · ‎06-26-2013

When I try to compile any of the examples I get a weird error message involving Java exceptions:

aoc --board pcie385n_d5 vectorAdd.cl

Error: Qsys-script FAILED

See vectorAdd.log for details.

cat vectorAdd/vectorAdd.log

Double check to make sure you have Stratix V device support installed. The easiest way to verify this is to open Quartus II, then under the file menu select new project and create a dummy project so that you can view which device families have been installed.

Also if you are using a different language than English on your development machine try switching to English (US) and trying the compile again. There are known issues with a few languages that I'm aware of.

I have just tried this - in Quartus II I started a new project and I could add Stratix V devices to the project. So I think they are installed.

aocl version

Quartus II 64-Bit Quartus II

Version 13.0.0 Build 156 04/24/2013 SJ Full Version

Which Linux operating system are you using on your host machine? I'm compiling that same design with CentOS 5.6 and I'm not seeing the issue you are running into.

Another thing to check is whether the design or the tools have been installed to a path that has non-standard characters like spaces for example.

I did a complete fresh reinstall of Quartus, the Stratix V devices and the AOCL SDK.

And now it's all working.

Thanks
