Appendix B: Creating A Vault Repository For Centos - Xilinx Alveo U200 Getting Started Manual

Creating a Vault Repository for
CentOS
On CentOS, yum install kernel-headers always installs the latest version of the headers,
but might not match your kernel version. This causes the installation of XRT to skip compilation
of the driver modules and will silently fail. To correctly install XRT, create a vault repository that
points to versions matching the kernel.
The following is an example repository for CentOS 7.4 created in the following file:
/etc/yum.repos.d/centos74.repo
# CentOS-Base-7.4.repo
#
# This repo is locked to 7.4.1708 version
#
# C7.4.1708
