Under Partitions running on FPGA it displays the base paron running on the FPGA
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_base_3. A shell paron will also be displayed if it has already
been programmed.
Under Partitions installed in system it displays available shell paron(s)
available to program on the FPGA. In this example, only one shell paron is available
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_shell_3_1.
The logic-uuid and interface-uuid are used by the system to ensure compable base
and shell parons are used for a given applicaon.
If no shell parons are displayed under Partitions installed in system, it implies
no shell parons compable with the base paron have been installed. Download and
install a compable shell paron.
2. Enter the following command to program the shell paron on the FPGA.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt partition --program --name
<shell_name> --card <card_bdf>
where <shell_name> is the name of the shell paron to be programmed to the card
idened with BDF <card_bdf>.
In the previous example xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_shell_3_1 will be programmed
to card with BDF 00:65:00.0. See Appendix D: Obtaining xbmgmt Command Opons to
obtain the card_bdf and shell_name opon.
An output similar to the following example will be displayed:
Programming PLP on Card [0000:65:00.0]...
Partition file: /opt/xilinx/firmware/u250/gen3x16/xdma-shell/
partition.xsabin
Program successfully
3. Enter the following command and conrm the shell paron displayed under Partitions
installed in the system and Partitions running on FPGA match.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt partition --scan
An output similar to the following example will be displayed.
