Hi, 

 

I understand from the thread http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45791 that it's possible to mix OpenCL kernel and HDL code and that it's possible to communicate between those two worlds. 

Is there any documentation on the way to that ? 

 

Thanks, 

Frederic

Your best bet is to build your hdl code into the board support package. There is some documentation on how to do this:

I've managed to get hdl inserted into a kernel without doing a custom BSP, but it's not at all a supported path.
