Installing the Altera SDK for OpenCL
The Altera SDK for OpenCL (AOCL) Cyclone V SoC Development Kit Reference Platform (c5soc)
includes an SD flash card image necessary for running OpenCL applications on the board. The SD flash
card image includes the recompiled Linux kernel driver, a preinstalled version of the Altera Runtime
Environment (RTE) for OpenCL, and a script for setting environment variables.
To get started with the Altera RTE for OpenCL on the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit, install the AOCL
for Linux.
Before you begin
You must have sudo or root privileges.
1. To install the AOCL using the RPM Package Manager (RPM), invoke one of the following commands:
• At a command prompt, type rpm -i aocl-sdk-<version>.x86_64.rpm to install the software in the
default location (for example, opt/altera/aocl-sdk).
• To install the software in the default location with verbose progress reporting, type rpm -ivh aocl-
sdk-<version>.x86_64.rpm
• To install the software in an alternate directory that you own (that is, not a system directory), type
the rpm -i --prefix <aocl_destination_directory> aocl-sdk- <version>.x86_64.rpm command.
2. To install the AOCL using the GUI installer, run the AOCLSetup-<version>-linux.run installer. Direct the
installer to extract the software to an empty folder that you own (that is, not a system folder).
