OpenCL SDK 15.0 not opening

[Altera_Forum]

I have downloaded 15.0 FPGA design and SDK for openCL. 

Istallation process done, but just quartus is working and for OpneCL SDK terminal open for a second and close by it self. I am not able to open it. anyone can help me?:(

can you run the command "aocl diagnose"? What does this tell you?

Many thanks for reply... 

But could you please let me know where should I write this command? I am using windows 8 and I am able to open only Quartus. I am not able to run OenCL SDK. I followed every instuction of "Getting started from ALTERA"

You have to open a command prompt, in the start menu search for cmd, right click->run as administrator 

Then enter the command.

cmd is Showning me Error: "The comand 'aocl' is not recognised. command not found"

Then it looks like OpenCL was not installed. I assume you followed the getting started guide. Did you get any errors during installation?

Let me give you all Detail: 

 My PC has below system properties: OS : Windows 8 Pro RAM: 4 GB System type:64 Bit, X-86 based processor.  Now as per manual, Devloper need 24 GB RAM, So in this case am I work as devloper? If yes then Do I need 24GB RAM?  I have installed Quartus and Altera Open CL SDK , didnt get any error during installation. Quartus is working fine but OpenCL is not working. e.g. I click on Open CL program , it opens with a terminal window for a msec and close it byself.  I checked in installed program, and OpenCL SDK is there.  One more thing I would like to clarify is, I will write C code for FPGA board and using OpenCL SDK I will be able to load program in to FPGA board, Am I understand correct?  Just for Info: I havent connected any FPGA board with my Pc. Is it okay to work on OpenCL without board?  Thanks for reply.

Ckncerning the RAM, as you will generate the hardware, yes you are a developer. The ammou t of RAM needed depends on your design and target chip. You can try with 4GB, but it miht not be enough, I work with an Arria 10, which needs 64 GB, that is the only rference I got. 

 You don't write C, you write OpenCL, which is C with some added functionality, and some "removed" functionality.  In the case of not having a board, I think you can use the emulator. Please see this thread:http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51433. I also think you don't need much RAM for that, but I haven't checked that.

Thanks again. 

 I will work on below board. http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/arrowsockitevaluationboard  Its Cyclone V. Could you please let me know homany minimum memory will I needed for it?  and Where will I write OpenCL? in OpenCL SDK software right?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi.. 

 I will write code in OpenCL, but I will write code in "OpenCL SDK". right?  I will use CycloneV devloper board. please check it : http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/arrowsockitevaluationboard  Could you please let me know Howmany at least memory for it needed?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi 

I will use Cyclone V kit. http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/arrowsockitevaluationboard  Could you please let me know how many memory it needed?  I will do OpenCL coding in OpenCL SDK, Right?

Oh, and the OpenCL SDK has only command-line tools, no GUI (as far as I know). The reason for the window disappearing is that a command prompt closes as soon as aocl is started as you don't provide any arguments. If you want to know what these are, start a command prompt and enter the following command: aocl. This calls the aocl.exe from the hld\bin directory in the altera(_pro) install directory.

Sorry, didn't see your last post. I have no idea about the ammount of memory needed for that board. As to the development of the code, I use Microsofts Visual Studio, but any text editor and compiler will do. The OpenCL SDK is only used to compile and emulate the device.
