You should see an output similar to the one below:
Board list:
c5soc
c5soc_sharedonly
6. To compile the kernel for your Cyclone V SoC Development Kit, invoke the following command:
aoc --board c5soc device/hello_world.cl -o bin/hello_world.aocx
This command performs the following tasks:
• Generates the Quartus II design project files from the OpenCL source code.
• Checks for initial syntax errors.
• Performs basic optimizations.
• Creates a
hello_world
subfolder or subdirectory containing necessary intermediate files.
• Creates the Altera Offline Compiler Object file (
.aoco
).
• Creates the
.aocx
hardware configuration file and saves it in the
bin
subfolder or subdirectory.
Attention: The
.aocx
file might take hours to build, depending on the complexity of the kernel. To
view the progress of the compilation on-screen, include the
-v
flag in your
aoc
command
(that is,
aoc -v <your_kernel_filename>.cl
).
The AOC displays the line
aoc: Hardware generation completed
successfully.
to signify the completion of the compilation process.
For more information on the
--list-boards
option of the
aoc
command, refer to the Listing the
Available FPGA Boards in Your Custom Platform (--list-boards) section of the Altera SDK for OpenCL
Programming Guide.
For more information on the
--board <board_name>
option of the
aoc
command, refer to the
Compiling a Kernel for a Specific FPGA Board (--board <board_name>) section of the Altera SDK for
OpenCL Programming Guide.
For more information on the
-v
option of the
aoc
command, refer to the Generating Compilation
Progress Report (-v) section of the Altera SDK for OpenCL Programming Guide.
For more information on the
-o <filename>
option of the
aoc
command, refer to the Specifying the
Name of an AOC Output File (-o <filename>) section of the Altera SDK for OpenCL Programming Guide.
