Zach PfefferBuild and Run Xilinx's Vector Addition (CL) OpenCL Example
This post shows all the steps to get, build and run the Vector Addition (CL) OpenCL example from Xilinx.
Prerequisites
Have a ZCU102 board
Install SDSoC 2018.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 (see [link] for instructions)
Know how to connect an SD card reader/writer (see [link] for instructions)
How to configure and run minicom (see step 10. [link] for instructions)
Note
I could not get this to work through the 2018.2 SDx Eclipse GUI. See [underconstruction].
Steps
1. Get source
A. Type cd ~
B. Type git clone https://github.com/Xilinx/SDSoC_Examples.git
2. Build it
A. Type cd ~/SDSoC_Examples/ocl/getting_started/hello_vadd_ocl
B. Type git log
You should see:

Update the readme and json file to remove the naming inconsistency in GUI
C. Type XILINX_SDX=/opt/Xilinx/SDx/2018.2 PATH=/opt/Xilinx/SDK/2018.2/gnu/aarch64/lin/aarch64-linux/bin:$PATH CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/Xilinx/SDx/2018.2/runtime/include/1_2" make PLATFORM=zcu102
Notes:
This took 0h 38m 14s on a virtual machine running Ubuntu 16.04.3 hosted by VirtualBox 5.2.12 r122591 (Qt5.6.2) running on Windows 7 SP1 on [link] machine.
The full log is [here]
3. Load it (replace /media/pfefferz/3661-3361 with your directory)
A. Type cd ~/SDSoC_Examples/ocl/getting_started/hello_vadd_ocl
B. Type cp -rf build/zcu102_hw/sd_card/* /media/pfefferz/3661-3361
4. Run it on the target
A. Eject the SD card from the reader
B. Insert in the ZCU102
C. Set SW6 to to boot from the SD card:
5. Connect the USB UART to the computer and start minicom
6. Start the ZCU102
In the minicom window you should see output, ending with:
7. Run the example
In the minicom window type XILINX_OPENCL=/mnt/embedded_root /mnt/vadd
You should see:
Full minicom output [here]. Source [here] (to check what happens up to TEST PASSED).
