Xilinx Alveo U250 Getting Started Guide

Upgrading, Downgrading, and Uninstalling
XRT and Deployment Shell on Ubuntu
During upgrading, downgrading, or uninstalling, it can be useful to list the currently installed
Alveo packages.
To list the currently installed deployment shell package, run the following command in a Linux
terminal:
$ apt list –-installed | grep xilinx
To list the currently installed XRT package, run the following command:
$ apt list -–installed | grep xrt
Upgrading Packages
You can upgrade the XRT and deployment shell on your Alveo card by following these steps.
Both packages must be upgraded concurrently.
1. Download the desired XRT and deployment shell packages. Both must be from the same
release (i.e. both are 2018.2 package releases).
2. Install the XRT installaon package using the following command, where <deb-dir> is the
directory where the packages were downloaded in the previous step and <version> is the
laer part of the XRT le name.
$ sudo apt install <deb-dir>/xrt_<version>.deb
This will install the XRT along with any necessary dependencies. Follow the instrucons
when prompted throughout the installaon.
3. Install the deployment shell installaon packages required for the card.
