Logic Components
- The Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Offline Compiler translates your OpenCL™ device code into a hardware configuration file that the system loads onto an Intel® FPGA product.
- The Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Pro Edition utility includes a set of commands you can invoke to perform high-level tasks such as running diagnostic tests.
- The host
runtime provides the
OpenCL™
host
and runtime API for your
OpenCL™
host
application.
The host runtime consists of libraries that provide OpenCL™ APIs, hardware abstractions, and helper libraries.
Drivers, Libraries and Files
The software installation process installs the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Pro Edition into a directory that you own. The INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT environment variable references the path to the SDK's installation directory.
| Windows Folder | Linux Directory | Description |
|---|---|---|
| bin | bin | User commands in the SDK. Include this directory in your PATH environment variable setting. |
| board \custom_platform_toolkit\tests | board /custom_platform_toolkit/tests | The path to the
Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™
Pro Edition kernel code files to
test
platforms. Note: Starting from the 20.3 release,
Intel®
has removed the support for Windows and
Linux OpenCL BSPs. Use version 20.2 or older OpenCL BSPs available at FPGA Software Download
Center as a reference. If you want to migrate your OpenCL BSP
to a newer version, follow the recommended steps provided in the Reference
Platform Porting Guides available under Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL
documentation.

OpenCL™
Specification version 1.0 header files and software interface files
necessary for compiling and linking your host application. The host/include/CL subdirectory also includes the C++ header file cl.hpp. The file contains an OpenCL™ version 1.1 C++ wrapper API. These C++ bindings enable a C++ host program to access the OpenCL™ runtime APIs using native C++ classes and methods. Important: The
OpenCL™
version 1.1 C++ bindings are compatible
with
OpenCL™
Specification
versions 1.0 and 1.1.

platform and runtime APIs. These libraries are
necessary for linking your host application. To run an OpenCL™ application on Linux, include this directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable setting. |
| host\windows64\bin | host/linux64/bin | Runtime commands and libraries necessary for running
your host application, wherever applicable. For 64-bit Windows
system, include this directory in your PATH environment variable setting.
