Impossible to allocate different boards from different MPI ranks
When trying to use the two Bittware 520N boards from different MPI ranks, likely an error like the following will occur:
Native API failed. Native API returns: -2 (PI_ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE) -2 (PI_ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE)
This is a limitation of the runtime. Details and an experimental workaround can be found at Using Bittware 520N Boards from Different Ranks.
.ERROR: UNRECOGNIZED ERROR CODE (-1001)
This error might occur if the default system gcc (version 4.8) is used, see required gcc versions.

Resolution
The root cause is outlined of both errors is the same, but is only evident in the first message of the above export exemplary excerpt fromquartus_sh_compile.log: parsing of a number as floating point failed. This can be is caused by locale settings that are transferred from the computer you connect with to Noctua 2. After connecting to Noctua 2, check your locale settings with locale, and possibly change them with export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8".
