Xilinx Alveo U50 Installation Guide

3. 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.
Download the tar.gz le by rst selecng your OS and version, then clicking on the
displayed lename.
Extract the tar.gz le into a single directory. The locaon of the directory is not important,
however the directory should not contain any other les.
4. Install the deployment packages. From within the directory where the installaon packages
were unpacked, run the following command. This will install all deployment packages.
sudo apt install ./*.deb
The installaon of the deployment paron and rmware are located in the /opt/xilinx/
firmware directory and contain the named paron and rmware sub-directories. Aer
installing the deployment packages you will see the following message:
Partition package installed successfully.
Please flash card manually by running below command:
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell <shell_name>
5. Flash the rmware to the Alveo card using the command displayed in the output of the
previous step. It has the following format:
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell <shell_name>
If the card has been upgraded, you will see a message similar to the following and no
addional installaon steps are necessary.
Status: shell is up-to-date
Card(s) up-to-date and do not need to be flashed.
If you have mulple cards installed or need to regenerate the command, follow the steps
given in the Generang the xbmgmt ash --update Command secon.
6. You will be asked to conrm the update, as shown below. Type y and press the Enter key.
Status: shell needs updating
Current shell: <current_platform_name>
Shell to be flashed: <platform_to_be_flashed>
Are you sure you wish to proceed? [y/n]:
Flashing will take up to 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT! Do not enter Ctrl + c in the terminal while the rmware is ashing as this can cause the
card to become inoperable.
IMPORTANT! N'entrez pas Ctrl + c dans le terminal lorsque le micrologiciel clignote, car cela pourrait
rendre la carte inulisable.
WICHTIG! Geben Sie im Terminal nicht Strg + c ein, während die Firmware blinkt, da dies dazu führen
kann, dass die Karte nicht mehr funkoniert.
