3.12.1. aocl install

The install <path_to_customplatform> utility in the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit Reference Platform installs the kernel driver on the host computer.
Users of the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ only need to install the driver once, after which the driver should be automatically loaded each time the system restarts.
Attention: You must have write privileges to the SDK directory to install the kernel directory.

Windows

The install.bat script is in the <your_custom_platform>\windows64\libexec directory, where <your_custom_platform> points to the top-level directory of your Custom Platform. This install.bat script triggers the install executable from Jungo Connectivity Ltd. to install the WinDriver on the host machine.

Linux

The install script is located in the <your_custom_platform>/linux64/libexec directory. This install script first compiles the kernel module in a temporary location and then performs the necessary setup to enable automatic driver loading after restart.
