2.1. Initializing Your Custom Platform

To initialize your Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Custom Platform, copy the Stratix® V Network Reference Platform to another directory and rename it.
  1. Download s5_net from the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ FPGA Platforms page on the Altera website. Click Custom to reveal to download link.
  2. Store the s5_net directory into a directory that you own (that is, not a system directory) and then rename it ( <your_custom_platform_name> ).
  3. Remove the <your_custom_platform_name>/hardware/s5_net/persona directory.
  4. Rename the <your_custom_platform_name>/hardware/s5_net directory to match the name of your FPGA board ( <board_name> ).
  5. Modify the name attribute of the board XML element in the board_spec.xml file with <board_name>.
  6. Modify the board_env.xml file so that the name and default fields match the changes you made in 4 and 5.
  7. In the SDK, invoke the command aoc -list-boards to confirm that the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Offline Compiler displays the board name in your Custom Platform.
