2. Getting Started with the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition for Windows

The Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition setup process includes downloading and installing the software, installing the FPGA board, and then executing an OpenCL* kernel on the FPGA.
  1. Downloading the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Standard Edition
    Download the installation package that contains the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition and all related software for Windows from the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Download Center.
  2. Installing the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL
    Install the Windows version of the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition in a folder that you own.
  3. Setting the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Standard Edition User Environment Variables
    You have the option to set the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition Windows user environment variables permanently or transiently.
  4. Verifying Software Installation
    Invoke the version utility command and verify that the correct version of the OpenCL™ software is installed.
  5. Installing an FPGA Board
    To install your board into a Windows host system, invoke the install <path_to_customplatform> utility command.
  6. Verifying Host Runtime Functionality via Emulation
    Test the functionality of the host runtime by emulating an OpenCL™ design example using the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition Emulator.
  7. Creating the FPGA Hardware Configuration File of an OpenCL Kernel
    Compile the hello_world kernel program using the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Offline Compiler to create the hello_world.aocx executable file.
  8. Updating the Hardware Image on the FPGA
    If applicable, before you execute an OpenCL™ kernel program on the FPGA, ensure that the flash memory of the FPGA contains a hardware image created using a current version of the OpenCL software.
  9. Executing an OpenCL Kernel on an FPGA
    Build your OpenCL™ host application in Microsoft Visual Studio, and run the application by invoking the hello_world.exe executable.
  10. Uninstalling the Software
    To uninstall the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition for Windows, run the uninstaller, and restore all modified environment variables to their previous settings.
  11. Uninstalling the FPGA Board
    To uninstall an FPGA board for Windows, invoke the uninstall utility command, uninstall the Custom Platform, and unset the relevant environment variables.
