Why does OpenCL compiler generates synthesis errors related to Port mismatch while customizing OpenCL Board Support package for Arria10?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    While Performing OpenCL import compile, user may experience following errors due to port mismatch

    Error (18513): Child partition does not implement output signal which is required by parent partition

    Error (18624): Partition contains output port that is ignored by its parent partition

     

    Resolution

    In order to compile a kernel as an import, all the global memory ports as well as other added interfaces between static and PR region need to have an additional pipeline stage in kernel_system.qsys

    This is automatically done by the OpenCL compiler when specifying addpipe=1 in board_spec.xml.

    Here is an example:

    <!-- Timestamp SRAM, 64-bit data -->
    <global_mem name="TS_SRAM" max_bandwidth="1000" interleaved_bytes="8" config_addr="0x100">   <interface name="board" port="kernel_timestamp" type="slave" width="64" maxburst="1" address="0x200000000" size="0x000000800" latency="25" addpipe="1" />
      </global_mem>
