helloworld issue on arria10Gx development kit

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I am trying to compile and run hello_world example of OpenCL SDK on Arria10Gx development board. Example fails to run with below error code. kindly check below steps and comment on any wrong doing.   user@user:~/opencl_examples/hello_world$ bin/host  Querying platform for info: ========================== CL_PLATFORM_NAME = Intel(R) OpenCL CL_PLATFORM_VENDOR = Intel(R) Corporation CL_PLATFORM_VERSION = OpenCL 2.0    Querying device for info: ======================== CL_DEVICE_NAME = Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6800K CPU @ 3.40GHz CL_DEVICE_VENDOR = Intel(R) Corporation CL_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID = 32902 CL_DEVICE_VERSION = OpenCL 2.0 (Build 475) CL_DRIVER_VERSION = 1.2.0.475 CL_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BITS = 64 CL_DEVICE_AVAILABLE = true CL_DEVICE_ENDIAN_LITTLE = true CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_CACHE_SIZE = 262144 CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_CACHELINE_SIZE = 64 CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE = 16734322688 CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT = true CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE = 32768 CL_DEVICE_MAX_CLOCK_FREQUENCY = 3400 CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS = 12 CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_ARGS = 480 CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE = 131072 CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_DIMENSIONS = 3 CL_DEVICE_MEM_BASE_ADDR_ALIGN = 1024 CL_DEVICE_MIN_DATA_TYPE_ALIGN_SIZE = 128 CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_CHAR = 1 CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_SHORT = 1 CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_INT = 1 CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_LONG = 1 CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_FLOAT = 1 CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_DOUBLE = 1 Command queue out of order? = true Command queue profiling enabled? = true Using AOCX: hello_world.aocx Context callback: clCreateProgramWithBinary failed ERROR: CL_INVALID_BINARY  Location: ../common/src/AOCLUtils/opencl.cpp:392 Failed to create program with binary   ==============================================================   Steps I followed are : ------------------------ 1. Installed and setup Intel OpenCL SDK for FPGA. 2.

Does "aocl diagnose" pass? If not, you should repeat the process of initializing the board until aocl diagnose passes.

Hi vinodk, 

 I work on the same topic like you and I have a compilation issue. When I try to compile the kernel hello_world.cl (aoc device\hello_world.cl -o bin\hello_world.aocx -board=a10gx) I get the next error:  Error: The following files were not archived Error: ERROR: Archiver failed because there were no files to archive Error: Failed to generate 'base_bak.qar' Error (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script c:/intelfpga_pro/17.1/quartus/common/tcl/apps/qpm/qar.tcl unsuccessful Error: Quartus Prime Shell was unsuccessful. 7 errors, 0 warnings Error (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script import_compile.tcl unsuccessful Error: Quartus Prime Compiler Database Interface was unsuccessful. 1 error, 0 warnings Error: Compiler Error, not able to generate hardware  I do not know what could be the problem. Searching on the Board documentation I fount this:  Attention: The native Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit does not automatically work with the SDK. Before using the Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit with the SDK, you must first contact your field applications engineer or regional support center representative who will configure the development kit for you.  Could you help me with this issue please?  Thank you!

So tried to repeat the setup process to make aocl diagnose to pass.
