3. Install the deployment shell installaon packages required for the card.
• For U200:
$ sudo yum install <rpm-dir>/xilinx-u200-xdma-<version>.rpm
• For U250:
$ sudo yum install <rpm-dir>/xilinx-u250-xdma-<version>.rpm
• For U280 ES:
$ sudo yum install <rpm-dir>/xilinx-u280-es1-xdma-<version>.rpm
The deployment soware sources are now installed and deployed on the system.
4. Aer installing the deployment shell, the terminal instructs you to ash the card by running a
command listed in the output, as shown in the example below. Do NOT run this command.
You will manually generate the correct command in a subsequent step.
DSA package installed successfully.
Please flash card manually by running below command:
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbutil flash -a <shell_name> -t <timestamp>
5. Cold boot your machine by fully powering it o and then on.
6. Manually generate the correct xbutil flash command to include the -d opon, which
species the card in the server to be ashed, as shown below. The -a and -t opons specify
the deployment shell name and mestamp associated with the specic card ID.
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbutil flash -a <shell_name> -t <timestamp> -d
<card_ID>
To generate the xbutil flash command, follow the instrucons in Appendix C:
Generang the xbul ash Command.
CAUTION! Not specifying the card ID within the xbutil flash command via the -d opon can
result in damage to the card.
7. Run the manually generated xbutil flash command.
If you have mulple cards installed on the server, you MUST run the xbutil flash
command separately for each card.
8. You will be asked to conrm the update, as shown below. Type y and enter.
