I installed Altera SDK on my system without any FPGA board.  

I want to try the sw before ordering the hw. 

I build a fft1d example. I used the makefile which gives error when I run: 

Query for number of devices failed 

 

Then i did some search and found a compile command to build with emulator: 

which generated fft1d.aoco fft1d.aocx. 

 

Now how can I run the generated and emulated program on my system which doesn't have a FPGA board yet? 

 

Thanks.

[INCORRECT]The end of the compilation tells you how to do this. If you don't specify a board the emulator will run, but I don't know if it can run as you want. Have you tried? Also, for the next time, this post should be in the OpenCL part of the forum.[INCORRECT] 

 

I am sory to say the previously mentioned information is incorrect, I forgot that when you do not specify a board a default one is chosen. I did a quick test to answer your question and I thought it worked. So again I am sorry.
