OpenCL 13.0 SP1 Output RBF Files

Hi, 

I just installed OpenCL 13.0 SP1 SDK along with Quartus and device support on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit. 

When I compile my kernel (aoc kernel.cl), I get 2 RBF files in my kernel sub-directory. 

Namely: 

top.core.rbf 

top.periph.rbf 

 

I thought I am supposed to get a top.rbf for programming the FPGA. 

I dont see any compilation errors... 

I am not sure what to do with these files. 

 

I have a top.sof file as well. 

 

I want to know what is the correct procedure to program the FPGA from these files. 

Thanks,

You don't need to use any .rbf file directly. You should be dealing with .aocx files that are loaded at runtime and are used to automatically program the FPGA for you. Please see documentation regarding getting a program up and running. 

 

Also please note that Ubuntu is not officially supported so your mileage may vary.
