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 Intel Quartus® Prime Design Suite, program the flash memory of the FPGA with a hardware image compatible with the current version of the software.
