Xilinx Alveo U200 Getting Started page 25

The deployment software sources are now installed and deployed on the system. The
installation of the drivers, runtime software, and utilities are in the /opt/xilinx/ directory
and contains the xrt and dsa sub-directories. Note that the dsa folder contains the
deployment platform installation.
After installing the deployment platform you will see the following message:
DSA package installed successfully.
Please flash card manually by running below command:
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell <shell_name>
Note: When installing 2019.1 or earlier deployment platform packages, the displayed instructions use
the xbutil rather than the xbmgmt command to flash. Flashing with xbutil is being deprecated and
will not be supported in future releases. It is recommended to use the xbmgmt command to flash the
Alveo card.
4. Flash the firmware 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 you have multiple cards installed or need to regenerate the command, follow the steps
given in the related topic, Generating the xbmgmt flash --update Command.
5. You will be asked to confirm 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 firmware is flashing 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 inutilisable.
WICHTIG! Geben Sie im Terminal nicht Strg + c ein, während die Firmware blinkt, da dies dazu führen kann,
dass die Karte nicht mehr funktioniert.
Successfully flashing a new card results in a message similar to the one shown below. If the
command returns Card Not Found, perform a cold reboot, and retry. Otherwise, see
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting.
