For any actual FPGA usage, the version of the BSP module (bittware_520n) version must match the node version allocated with the constraint. By default, the latest supported version is loaded. To use a specific version, you can append the version number like this:

Code Block
module load bittware_520n/19.4.0_hpc intelFPGA_pro/20.3.0

Matching SDK versions and BSP versions

The table below shows the full mapping of valid SDK to BSP versions for the Intel OpenCL design flow. Make sure to match the allocated constraint for real hardware execution.

For the 19.2.0 and 18.1.1 tools, there are two versions of the BSP that target the same board. The *_max BSP enables the external serial channels and thus offers the default functionality for our setup. The *_hpc BSP does not offer external serial channels, but may enable higher clock frequencies for this tool version.

Identifying BSP versions of existing bitstreams

You can find out the constraint required for an existing bitstream using two commands of the aocl binedit tool, e.g.

Code Block
module load intelFPGA_pro
aocl binedit build/19_3/krn_auto/volume_dummy_v10.aocx print .acl.board 
aocl binedit build/19_3/krn_auto/volume_dummy_v10.aocx print .acl.board_package

Finding the output values of aocl binedit in the first two columns allows you to identify the constraint to be used.

Unsupported BSPs: Since the 19.1.0 tools, the BSP comes with support for two different target boards: p520_max_sg280l and p520_max_sg280h. These differentiate between boards with so-called L-Tile and H-Tile FPGAs. Our boards contain L-Tile FPGAs, so only use p520_max_sg280l (and p520_hpc_sg280l for selected BSP versions) as targets for synthesis.
