Building the OPAE C Library

Steps

1. Fetch the Intel FPGA API repository
2. Configure the Intel FPGA API CMake project
3. Build the Intel FPGA API project

Fetch the Intel FPGA API repository

git clone ssh://«Place your username here»@git-amr-1.devtools.intel.com:29418/cpt_sys_sw-fpga-sw
cd cpt_sys_sw-fpga-sw
git config user.name "«Place your name here»"
git config user.email "«Place your email here»"
curl -k https://git-amr-1.devtools.intel.com/gerrit/tools/hooks/commit-msg -o .git/hooks/commit-msg
git checkout feature/cmake
git pull

Configure the Intel FPGA API CMake project

cd cpt_sys_sw-fpga-sw
mkdir mybuild
cd mybuild
cmake .. «user configuration flags»

Valid «user configuration flags» are:

|----------------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|----------------|
| cmake flag                 | Optional or Mandatory | Purpose                             | Valid values                          | Default value  |
|----------------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|----------------|
| -DINTEL_FPGA_API_VER_MAJOR | Optional              | OPAE major version                  | Integer                               | 0              |
| -DINTEL_FPGA_API_VER_MINOR | Optional              | OPAE minor version                  | Integer                               | 13             |
| -DINTEL_FPGA_API_VER_REV   | Optional              | OPAE revision version               | Integer                               | 0              |
| -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE         | Optional              | Set compiler flags                  | Debug/Release/Coverage/RelWithDebInfo | RelWithDebInfo |
| -DBUILD_TESTS              | Optional              | Enable/disable building gtests      | ON/OFF                                | OFF            |
| -DBUILD_ASE                | Optional              | Enable/disable building ASE         | ON/OFF                                | ON             |
| -DPACK_ASE                 | Optional              | Include or not ASE in final package | ON/OFF                                | OFF            |
| -DBUILD_SPHINX_DOC         | Optional              | Enable/disable building Sphinx docs | ON/OFF                                | OFF            |

Building Sphinx documentation site requires previous installation of Python, Sphinx and Sphinx-related Python packages.

Warning

Required Python packages to generate OPAE documentation can be installed with:

$ pip install –user -r ${CMAKE_SRC_DIR}/doc/sphinx/requirements.txt

Sphinx documentation website is generated under ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/sphinx/${INTEL_FPGA_API_VER_MAJOR}.{INTEL_FPGA_API_VER_MINOR}.{INTEL_FPGA_API_VER_REV}/html/index.html

Build the Intel FPGA API project

cd cpt_sys_sw-fpga-sw
cd mybuild # (created during previous step)
make «user target»

Valid «user targets» are:

make target                Purpose
-------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make                       Compiles the Intel FPGA API libraries, sample applications, utilities
make dist                  Creates distributable tarball package intel-fpga_0.1.0.tar.gz
make package               Create Redhat installer package: intel-fpga_0.1.0_1.x86_64.rpm
make docs                  Generate doxygen documentation
make install               Install headers, libraries, sample applications and utilities under installation directory (typically /usr/local)
