5.1. Running Hello World

  1. Extract hello_world example:
    cd $OPAE_PLATFORM_ROOT/opencl
    
    mkdir exm_opencl_hello_world_x64_linux
    
    cd exm_opencl_hello_world_x64_linux
    
    tar xf ../exm_opencl_hello_world_x64_linux.tgz
    
  2. Build example:
    cd hello_world
    
    make
    
  3. Copy aocx to example bin folder:
    cp $OPAE_PLATFORM_ROOT/opencl/hello_world.aocx ./bin/
  4. Program the aocx file:
    aocl program acl0 ./bin/hello_world.aocx
    Note: This step is not necessary for non SR-IOV enabled system as OpenCL* by default performs partial reconfiguration to program the new kernel on FPGA. The aocx file in the release OpenCL* folder is unsigned. If you are using Intel® FPGA PAC features and programming a signed aocx file to the device, ensure that you copy the same file in the bin before running.
  5. Run example:
    ./bin/host
