2.12.1. aocl install

The install <path_to_customplatform> utility in the Intel® Stratix® 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 to install the SSG Driver 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.
