oneAPI FPGA workshop from Wednsday 24 April

peterbuss · ‎04-27-2024

Last wednsday I attended Intel OneAPI FPGA Workshop.
I was able to complete most of the lab exercises ok. Up to assigning pins, then time ran out and the vm was closed.
When I tried this lab on my on pc, I ran into an error early on in.

Lab Requirements:
Intel® oneAPI compiler v24.0
Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software v23.2
Questa* - Intel® FPGA Starter Edition
Intel® Arria® 10 SX SOC Development Kit
Visual Studio v2022 17.4.4
Visual Studio Code

Exercise
SYCL HLS Development Flow

I don't have the Arria 10 SOC development kit and have only visual studio 2019, which was accepted. I also didn't have Questa.

After setting the oneAPI environment (64bit) the following command is run
$ cmake -DFPGA_DEVICE=Arria10 .. -G “NMake Makefiles”

this works fine, then

$ nmake fpga_emu

this works fine, then

$ vector_add.fpga_emu.exe

this works fine, then

$ nmake report

this works fine, then

nmake fpga_sim

then I get an error described below.

Can anyone help?

I tried the 32bit version of the environment with no luck.

Hi peterbuss,

I think will need to refer to the simulation document on the environment setup requirements:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi/programming-guide/2023-0/set-up-the-simulation-environment.html

Thanks.

I tried this and I received the same error. I then upgraded to the newest version of Quartus Prime Pro (24.1) and All the steps in exercise 1 could be completed successfully. I don't remember which version of Quartus I had previously installed. I of course also installed the newest version of Questa Starter.

Excercise 2 however failed down the line. When running vector_add.fpga_emu.exe

I got

Caught a synchronous SYCL exception: Native API failed. Native API returns: -999 (Unknown PI error) -999 (Unknown PI error)

Here's my log for step A

oneAPI Workshop May 2024 - Exercise 2

All steps were attemped and failed with the same error like the one from step A below. Other steps attempted were B, C, D, E.

Excercise 3 was not attempted.

Step A: Register-Mapped Invocation Interface and Memory_Mapped Data Interface
____ 1. Go to the sample directory in the command window
a) H:\LID\Features\Interfaces\Ex2
____ 2. Inspect the vector_add.cpp code.
a) Go to Visual Studio Code
b) Navigate to the ..\Ex2\naive and open the file from the src folder
c) This sample demonstrates a kernel that uses a register-mapped invocation interface, and a single shared memory-mapped host data interface.
____ 3. Configure the build directory and make build files for the Naïve sample by running the following commands on the terminal
a) mkdir build
b) cd build
c) cmake -DFPGA_DEVICE=Arria10 .. -G “NMake Makefiles” -DTYPE=NAIVE
____ 4. Perform compilation for emulation and run the kernel on the emulator in the command window
a) nmake fpga_emu
b) vector_add.fpga_emu.exe -> fails - described below
c) The console should display Passed
____ 1. Generate optimization report and inspect report
a) nmake report
b) This compilation command if successful will

Hi,

I tried to post a reply yesterday, but today I see it isn't there. Today the link mentioned above https://supporttickets.intel.com does not work.

Thank you,
Peter BUSS

Here is my prepared reply from yesterday.

Should mention, that visual studio 2019 was used. Visual Studio 2022 was after the first attempt installed along with VS 2019, but the nmake failed to work, showing that only vs2019 was there but not vs 2022. So I used vs2019 for the excercises. I ran oneAPI install repare to get vs2022 to work with oneAPI.

Exercise 1 worked fine. That is where the first problem occured.
