OFS 2024.2-1

Summary: OFS 2024.2-1 Release for Intel® oneAPI Accelerator Support Package

Release notes:

oneAPI Accelerator Support Package is a collection of hardware and software components that enables oneAPI kernels to communicate with oneAPI runtime and other OFS hardware and software components.

Oneapi-asp repository contains the following reference ASPs:

  1. oneAPI ASP reference design targeting Agilex® 7 FPGA device
  2. oneAPI ASP reference design targeting Stratix® 10 FPGA device

The reference oneAPI ASPs use PCIe Attach reference FIMs. For more information about PCIe Attach FIMs, refer to OFS documentation page here. To get started with building oneAPI ASPs, please refer to the oneAPI ASP documentation here.

For more information about other OFS repositories, please visit the OFS Overview page and Discussions tab.

  • Editor tool to generate and customize the ASP

Known Issues:

ID Known Issue Workaround Status
13010786164 When using oneAPI compiler, you may see a warning like below:

The current version of the Intel (R) oneAPI compiler supports Intel (R) Quartus (R) Prime versions (versions supported).

The version found on the PATH/QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE, (quartus version) ,is not supported.		 oneAPI compiler allows evaluation with unsupported version of Quartus Prime:

  • If you are using a Quartus Prime version older than the supported range, please download a supported Quartus Prime version as indicated in the compiler warning.
  • If you are using a Quartus Prime version newer than the supported range, please upgrade to a newer oneAPI compiler version when available. To see range of supported Quartus version, please see Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler System Requirements. Download the latest oneAPI base toolkit version here.
22019730669 AFU Simulation Flow (ASE) for oneapi-asp is not supported in this release None To be fixed in future release
14022242217 For SLES15 OS, when compiling an oneAPI design you may see a Quartus® assembler crash, with an error message like the following::

*** Fatal Error: Segment Violation: faulting address=(nil), PC=0x7fdb2640c50b : 0x7fdb2640c50b: tcmalloc!tcmalloc::ThreadCache::ReleaseToCentralCache(tcmalloc::ThreadCache::FreeList*, unsigned int, int) + 0xeb

Module: quartus_asm 		A patch is provided to solve this issue for Quartus® Prime Pro software version 24.1 in the following link. To be fixed in future release of Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software
14022423265
16024113690		 In some rare cases, the oneAPI compiler may crash when you use any variant of the ivdep annotation (for example, [[intel::ivdep]], [[intel::ivdep(array)]], [[intel::ivdep(safelen)]], or [[intel::ivdep(array, safelen)]]) on a loop. A back trace of this crash contains the following line:
llvm::AccessGroupInfo::hasIndependentAGsOrSafelen(llvm::Loop*, llvm::Instruction*, llvm::Instruction*, int&) + 195 		A patch for the oneAPI compiler 2024.2 is provided to solve these issues in the following link To be fixed in future release of the FPGA Support Package for the oneAPI DCP++/C++ Compiler
14023830020 When opening the oneAPI ASP Editor, the error of "Bad Parameter Name" appears Edit the oneapi_asp_editor_hw.tcl file, remove the extra character "/" located in line 1054 in the lappend command creating "mem_dynamic_param" list. To be fixed in future release
