Chapter 1
Overview
his chapter provides an overview of the FLIK and installation guide.
1.1 General Description
With the rapidly-rising demand in today’s AI and compute-intensive applications,
Terasic’s FLIK (FPGA Client Innovation Kit) is a compact, all-in-one, adaptable
accelerator purpose-design to accelerate critical workloads such as data analysis,
deep learning, and machine learning algorithms directly on laptops or everything
portable! With a form factor slightly larger than a 2.5" external hard drive. It can be
placed vertically or horizontally to blend into various size-demanding environment.
FLIK takes advantage of the powerful Intel Arria 10 FPGAto enable higher speed data
processing. The kit is armed with 8GB DDR4-2133 on-board memory, providing around
4GB data transfer via PCIe Gen 3 interface between FPGA and laptops or host PC via
Thunderbolt™ 3 port. Also, with a form factor slightly larger than a 2.5" external hard
drive and closely packed in an aluminum body with advanced thermal solution, FLIK
takes care of the heat dissipation dynamically and is adaptable to various
size-demanding environment.
FLIK fully supports Intel Open VINO™ toolkit, Intel Acceleration Stack, and OpenCL in
both Linux and Windows versions. Our clients can achieve highest computing
performance, adaptability and lowest cost across broadest range of AI and deep
learning workloads.

1.3 FLIK View
Figure 1-2 shows the front and rear views of the FLIK. There are five color LED in front
panel. The five color LED indicate the status of FLIK. Table 1-1 shows the LED
indication meanings. There are a thunderbolt 3 port and a 12V DC input Jack on the
rear of FLIK.

1.7 Power On FLIK
There is no power SWITH on FLIK. Plug in 12V DC to FLIK will directly power on the
FLIK (See Figure 1-4). When FLIK is power on without connected to the Host PC, the
Font Panel Color LED is Green as shown in Figure 1-5.
