To get started with the Altera RTE for OpenCL on the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit, install the AOCL

for Windows.

Before you begin

You must have administrator privileges.
1. Run the

AOCLSetup-<version>-windows.exe

installer. Direct the installer to extract the software to an

empty folder that you own (that is, not a system folder).
The installation path must not contain any spaces (for example,

<home_directory>\altera\<version>\hld

).

2. Verify that the installer sets the user environment variable ALTERAOCLSDKROOT to point to the

current version of the software.

Installing the SoC EDS

Install the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite (EDS) for Windows to build your host application for

OpenCL kernel deployment on an SoC board.

1. Run the

SoCEDSSetup-<version>-windows.exe

installer. Follow the installation instructions in the

Installing the SoC EDS section of the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide.

2. Perform the tasks outlined in the Installing the ARM DS-5 Altera Edition Toolkit section of the Altera

SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide to install the ARM Development Studio (DS-5) Altera Edition

Toolkit for your operating system (OS).
For more information on the ARM DS-5 Altera Edition Toolkit, refer to the ARM DS-5 Altera Edition

page of the ARM website.

3. Consult the Licensing section of the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide for licensing

instructions for the SoC EDS and the ARM DS-5 Altera Edition Toolkit.
