Xilinx Alveo U250 Getting Started Guide

Chapter 4
Installing the Deployment Software
This chapter details the procedures for installing deployment soware on RedHat/CentOS and
Ubuntu operang systems. All soware installaons use standard Linux RPM and Linux DEB
packages.
The deployment soware installaon requires installing the following soware packages:
• Xilinx
®
runme (XRT)
XRT provides the libraries and drivers for an applicaon to run on Alveo™ cards.
• Deployment shell
The deployment shell provides the base rmware needed to run pre-compiled applicaons
and is signicantly smaller than the development shell but cannot be used to compile or create
a new applicaon. While you can also install the development soware detailed in Chapter 6:
Installing the Development Soware on a machine with a card installed, doing so is not
necessary to run applicaons.
IMPORTANT! Root access is required for all soware and rmware installaons.
IMPORTANT! L'accès Root est requis pour toutes les installaons logicielles et rmware.
Wichg! Root-Zugri ist für alle Soware- und Firmware-Installaonen erforderlich.
XRT and Deployment Shell Installation
Procedures on RedHat and CentOS
Use the following steps to download and install the soware using an RPM installaon package.

installed on your machine. On CentOS/RedHat, XRT supports Linux kernel up to:
