Altera SDK for OpenCL Cyclone V SoC - Manual (Page 22)

Building the Host Application
Build your SoC-specific OpenCL host application using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) cross-
compiler available with the SoC Embedded Design Suite (EDS).
1. Perform the following tasks to download the hello_world design example.
a. Download the SoC-specific hello_world design example (<version> Arm32 Linux package (.tgz))
from the Hello World Design Example page within the Altera website.
b. Extract
exm_opencl_hello_world_arm32_linux_<version>.tar to a location to which you have write
access.
c. Ensure that you set the environment variable AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT to point to the
Cyclone V SoC Development Kit Reference Platform (that is, %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\board\c5soc ).
2. At a command prompt, invoke the following command to set the PATH environment variable:
SET PATH=%PATH%;<path_to_SoCEDS_installation_dir>\ds-5\sw\gcc\bin
3. Navigate to the <path_to_exm_opencl_hello_world_arm32_linux_<version>>\hello_world directory.
4. Invoke the
make -f Makefile
command. Alternatively, you can simply invoke the
make
command.
The hello_world executable will be in the <path_to_exm_opencl_hello_world_arm32_linux_<version>>\hello_
world\bin directory.

Running the Host Application
To execute the
hello_world.aocx
Altera Offline Compiler Executable file on the SoC, run the host
application you built from the ARM-specific Makefile .
1. Log into your SoC board.
2. Copy the
hello_world.aocx hardware configuration file and the hello_world host executable from the
<exm_opencl_hello_world_arm32_linux_<version>>\hello_world\bin to the board.
3. Ensure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes the $%ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\host\
arm32\lib .
4. To execute the kernel on the SoC, at a command prompt, navigate to the host executable directory and
run the hello_world host executable.
Output from Successful Kernel Execution on the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit
When you run the host application to execute your OpenCL kernel on the Cyclone V SoC Development
Kit, the software notifies you of a successful kernel execution.
Example output:
Found 1 OpenCL platforms.
