Xilinx Alveo U50 Installation Guide

For details on upgrading or downgrading the XRT and deployment plaorm, see Changing XRT
and Target Plaorm Versions.
1. XRT installaon requires Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) and a related repository.
The inial setup depends on whether you are using RedHat or CentOS.
For Redhat:
a. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
This enables an addional repository on your system.
b. Enter the following command to install EPEL:
$ sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-
release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
For CentOS:
• Enter the following command in a terminal window:
$ sudo yum install epel-release
This installs and enables the repository for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL).
2. Run the following two commands to install kernel headers and kernel development packages.
Ensure that uname is surrounded by backcks ( `) and not single quotes ('):
$ sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
$ sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`
Note: If these yum commands fail because they cannot nd packages matching your kernel version, set
up a Vault repository. For more informaon, see Creang a Vault Repository for CentOS.
3. Aer the above command completes, reboot your machine.
4. From the Geng Started tab of the Alveo U50 Product page, use the selecon tool to display

runme (XRT) and deployment target installaon packages.
Download the Xilinx runme (XRT) installaon package le by clicking on the displayed XRT
installaon package.
5. Install the XRT installaon package by running the following command from within the
directory where the installaon packages reside. <version> is the laer part of the
installaon package le name.
$ sudo yum install ./xrt_<version>.rpm
This will install the XRT and its necessary dependencies. Follow the instrucons when
prompted throughout the installaon.
6. From the Geng Started tab of the Alveo U50 Product Page, download the deployment
target installaon tar.gz le by clicking on the displayed lename.
