Can't build "Vector Add" Sample

[vmayoral]

Summary

Can't build Vector Add targeting fgpa on Linux.

⚠️ As an additional bit, it's non-intuitive to load the files generated by the build system selected into Quartus GUI. It'd be nice to get short instructions on how to load it all as a project into Quartus.

Environment

Ubuntu Linux 22.04, 5.15.0-60-generic, x86_64

Steps to reproduce

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
mkdir build
cd build; cmake ..
make fpga

If the reports indicate performance targets are not being met, code edits may be required.  Please refer to the oneAPI FPGA Optimization Guide for information on performance tuning applications for FPGAs.

Observed behavior

Error being thrown while invoking quartus. It's not obvious which device's being used from the tutorial but further looking into the source files, it appears that it's defaulting to intel_a10gx_pac:pac_a10 (I'd be nice to set this in the instructions, even if reduntant).

Expected behavior

FPGA bitstreams generated for target FPGA_DEVICE.

Hi @vmayoral ,
Two things,

1. For FPGA related vector-add, you need to run the same commands under this folder (oneAPI-samples/DirectProgramming/C++SYCL_FPGA/Tutorials/GettingStarted/fpga_compile). For your use case it doesn;t make much difference but the performance will different for these two kernel implementations
2. As you guessed by default the target FPGA configuration file (SOF) is generated for PAC-platform (Acceleration card). For which the right BSP needs to "installed"/pointed-to. For your use case you can change the default target to Agilex/Arria10/Stratix10 family in general or any specific device part by using this switch while running the cmake command
   cmake .. -DFPGA_DEVICE=agilex
   Don't try any device less than Arria10 because, to compile SOF for low end devices (Max, CycleV etc) you need to install Quartus-Standard version. For all other high end devices you need to use Quartus-Pro (the one you have installed).

I am suspecting you might still face some dependency issues, if so you can try this direct command instead,

This just did it. Thanks a lot @mohpan!

For compleness, here's the recipe to build the Vector Add example with Quartus Pro 2022.2 and targeting agilex boards:

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DFPGA_DEVICE=agilex
make fpga
