1.1. Prerequisites for the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition

To install the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition and create an OpenCL application for the Cyclone® V SoC Development Kit, your system must meet certain hardware, target platform, and software requirements.

Hardware Requirements

Ensure that your system meets the following minimum hardware and operating system requirements:

  • The accelerator board is the Cyclone® V SoC Development Kit.
  • Development system requirements:
    • You must have administrator privileges on the development system to install the necessary packages and drivers.
    • The development system has at least 85 gigabytes (GB) of free disk space for software installation.
    • The development system has at least 8 GB of RAM.
    • The development system must be running on one of the following supported operating systems:

      Use the development system to perform the following tasks:

      • Compile OpenCL kernel source files to create hardware configuration files.
      • Cross-compile the host executables to the ARM* processor.
      • Connect your system to the SoC FPGA board so that they can communicate with each other using UART over USB connection.

Software Prerequisites

  • Linux systems require the Perl command version 5 or later. Ensure that your PATH environment variable setting includes the path to the Perl command.
