How do I compile an OpenCL kernel using the latest version of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ with a Board Support Package (BSP) from a previous version? - How do I compile an OpenCL kernel using the latest version of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ with a Board Support Package (BSP) from a previous version? Description Beginning with Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ and Intel Quartus Prime Pro version 18.1, it is possible to compile an OpenCL™ kernel using the latest version of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ while using a BSP compiled with a previous version. However, the Quartus Prime software version that matches the version of the BSP must also be installed and used . Resolution · Set environment variables to point the Quartus Prime version that was used to compile the BSP. · Set the environment variables to point to the BSP directory. · Set environment variables to point to the latest version of the Intel SDK for OpenCL. · Run the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ initialization script. · Compile the kernel. · Run the design using the latest version of the Intel SDK for OpenCL or Intel RTE for OpenCL. For example, if you have a BSP from version 17.1, and you want to use the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ version 18.1, you must have version 17.1 of the Quartus Prime software installed and you must set the environment variables as shown in the following scripts. Notes: Change the directories in the script to match your installation. Make sure there are no other versions of Quartus or the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ in the path.
