Updating the Hardware Image on the FPGA
If applicable, before you execute an OpenCL kernel program on the FPGA, ensure that the flash memory
of the FPGA contains a hardware image created using a current version of the OpenCL software.
Remember: If your Custom Platform requires that you preload a valid OpenCL image into the flash
memory, for every major release of the Altera Complete Design Suite, program the flash
memory of the FPGA with a hardware image compatible with the current version of the
software.
Querying the Device Name of Your FPGA Board
Some AOCL utility commands require you to specify the device name (
you query a list of accelerator boards, the RTE produces a list of installed devices on your machine in the
order of their device names.
• To query a list of installed devices on your machine, type
aocl diagnose
at a command prompt.
The software generates an output that resembles the example shown below:
aocl diagnose: Running diagnostic from ALTERAOCLSDKROOT/board/
Verified that the kernel mode driver is installed on the host machine.
