Xilinx Alveo U50 Installation 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 and require root access.
The deployment soware consists of 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 plaorm: The deployment plaorm provides the base rmware needed to run
pre-compiled applicaons. It cannot be used to compile or create new applicaons. To create
new applicaons, install the development soware detailed in Chapter 6: Next Steps. While
you can also install the development soware on a machine with an installed card, doing so is
not necessary to run applicaons.
All installaon packages can be downloaded from the Geng Started tab of the respecve Alveo
card landing page:
• Alveo U50 Product Page
If you encounter any issues during installaon, see Chapter 7: Troubleshoong and Known
Issues.
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.
