3.14. Considerations in Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit Reference Platform Implementation

The implementation of the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit Reference Platform includes some workarounds that address certain Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software known issues.
  • The quartus_syn executable reads the SDC files. However, it does not support the Tcl command get_current_revision. Therefore, in the top_post.sdc file, a check is in place to determine whether quartus_syn has read the file before checking the current version.

In addition to these workarounds, take into account the following considerations:

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime compilation is only ever performed after the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Offline Compiler embeds an OpenCL kernel inside the system.
  • Perform Intel® Quartus® Prime compilation after you install the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ and set the INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT environment variable to point to the SDK installation.
  • The name of the directory where the Intel® Quartus® Prime project resides must match the name field in the board_spec.xml file within the Custom Platform. The name is case sensitive.
  • The PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable must point to the MMD library in the Custom Platform.
