Alternatively, you can install the five deployment platform installation packages individually.
If this is the case, install them in the following order.
• Satellite controller firmware
• Card management firmware
• Base partition firmware
• Platform validation
• Shell partition firmware
4. Flash the base 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 <base_name> --card <card_bdf>
The following command, described in
can be used for obtaining the base_name and card_bdf command options.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --scan
5. You will be asked to confirm the update, as follows. Type y and press the Enter key.
Status: shell needs updating
Current shell: <current_base_partition_name>
Shell to be flashed: <base_partition_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.
