Intel NEO operation on docker container

[milani__peter1]

I am running some opencl programs inside a docker container. To test the environment I am running clinfo as an entry point for the container. But it is not detecting NEO platforms.

Googling shows that other opencl targets require the docker container to be called with a device argument pointing to /dev/dri:

docker run --device=/dev/dri <image> clinfo

but I am not sure that this is what is require for intel devices.

I can get access to the CPU opencl device after installing the CPU opencl driver.

My Dockerfile is below which is called from a directory with the following structure:

Dockerfile

neo /<neo .deb files and firmware .bin files>

<opencl cpu drivers for intel>
