Install, Bring-Up, and Use

Introduction

When implemented with a produced DSA as described in
®
Xilinx
Acceleration KCU1500 4DDR Expanded Partial Reconfiguration platform can be
used with the SDAccel™ Environment on the Kintex
development board.
The following sections describe the installation, bring-up and use procedures, and assume
a device support archive (DSA) created from an unmodified reference design, therefore
comparable to the file in the SDx™ Environments 2017.1 installation,
xilinx_kcu1500_4ddr-xpr_4_0.dsa.
User modifications to the reference design can affect compatibility with the host, Kintex
IMPORTANT:
UltraScale KCU1500 Acceleration development board, or the SDAccel System Compiler flow, so
confirming successful installation and bring-up is important.

Installation

After the design is successfully implemented with closed timing, free of errors and critical
warnings, and the .dsa file is written to disk, you can program the Kintex UltraScale
KCU1500 Acceleration development board.
The installation steps are, as follows:
1. Install the board in a PCIe
IMPORTANT:
DSA it produces are compatible only with the new Kintex UltraScale KCU1500 Acceleration
Development Board. They are not compatible with the previous revision of the board (termed
Kintex UltraScale Developer Board for Acceleration with KU115), which has different FPGA pinouts
and DDR4 memory configurations.
