This repository is used to test the built-in sqrt() OpenCL C function inside a kernel targeting a Xilinx Alveo U250 FPGA.
This repository shows a linking issue for testing built in OpenCL C functions using sw_emu and a work around to fix the issue.
If you try to run build_and_run_sw_emu.sh you will get a undefined symbols in the kernel error.
However, if you add /opt/Xilinx/Vitis/2020.1/lib/lnx64.o to the path, then build_and_run_sw_emu.sh will run correctly.
I have also included build_and_run_sw_emu_fixed.sh which changes LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the minimal directories required to successfully run sw_emu.
These directories are /opt/Xilinx/Vitis/2020.1/lib/lnx64.o and /opt/xilinx/xrt/lib. /opt/xilinx/xrt/lib is already added automatically by source /opt/xilinx/xrt/setup.sh.
Run the bash script build_and_run_sw_emu.sh after sourcing the Vitis tool chain.
The expected result is an error loading the kernel:
$ ./build_and_run_sw_emu.sh

Alternatively, running build_and_run_sw_emu_fixed.sh also works as expected, since I explicitly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the script.
