Unable to run helloworld_ocl on AMI 1.4.0 about aws-fpga

[niccoloraspa]

Same thing here!

This is ridicolous, keep wasting money and time. This is a terrible release.

As @lyager I can't open a thread on the AWS Forum because I've replied to a message. Message Quota to 1, really?

@nikever just wanted to point you to a solution that we've figured out works: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=283806&tstart=0

The trick for AMI1.4.0 is to have some other (as in: Not the FPGA image you wish to test) FPGA image loaded. When the host application start it sees that the correct image is not loaded into FPGA, and starts loading your FPGA image - this works!

Try it, and let me know if it fixes your issue.

@nikever , @lyager,

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. We had an issue where the default AFI was not accessible for us-west-2 & eu-west-1. We fixed it last week. Could you please try again and let us know if the issue persists?

Thank you,
