Hi, now I got a problem and don't know where to look at....

It says:

Error: Compiler Error, not able to generate hardware

here are some details..please have a look, and tell me what to do or where to look at...

..

Terasic DE5Net OpenCL BSP 16.1 / 8 Core 16GB Host,Windows 10 x64

I can't combile my OpenCL.cl until end,

Hardware, Software, Drivers ans Path Variables ...seems ok...but you never know

I could need some advice an any clue :)

hello_world and vector_add comiled OK

my first own hello world worked fine

You are using Terasic's 16.1 BSP with Quartus 16.0.2. The BSP version must match the Quartus/AOC version. Update both Quartus and AOC to v16.1.2 If the problem still persisted, attach your full "quartus_sh_compile.log".
