1.3. Overview of the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition Setup Process

The Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition Getting Started Guide outlines the procedures for installing the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition and programming your FPGA.

The figure below summarizes the steps for setting up the necessary software and installing the FPGA board.

Figure 1.  Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition Installation Process Overview
Attention: For possible errors after implementing aocl diagnose utility, refer to Possible Errors After Running the diagnose Utility section.

After you complete the initial software and hardware setup successfully, you can create a hardware image from the hello_world OpenCL* design example.

Attention: Before you program your FPGA with the hardware image, ensure that your FPGA contains an image created using a current version of the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ . Refer to Updating the Hardware Image on the FPGA for more information

The figure below summarizes the steps you perform to program your FPGA.
