• Satellite controller firmware
• Card management firmware
• Base partition firmware
• Platform validation
• Shell partition firmware (DFX-2RP platforms only)
The following command is an example of how to install each package individually for a
DFX-2RP platform.
$ sudo yum install ./xilinx-sc-fw-<version>.rpm ./xilinx-cmc-
<cmc_version>.rpm
<validate_version>.rpm ./xilinx-u250-<shell_version>.rpm
For additional details related to the deployment platforms for your Alveo card, see the Alveo
Data Center Accelerator Card Platforms User Guide (UG1120).
8. Flash the base partition to the Alveo card. After installing the deployment packages in the
previous step, the following message is displayed:
Partition package installed successfully.
Please flash card manually by running below command:
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell <base_name> --
card <card_bdf>
With XRT 2021.1 or greater, it is necessary to use the following new command to flash the
card rather than the one displayed in the above message. It assumes only one deployment
platform is installed on the card. If more than one platform is installed the --image option
needs to be added. See
IMPORTANT! If you have multiple cards installed in the system, you must run the above xbmgmt
program command separately for each card.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt program --base --device <management
BDF>
Where management BDF is the card to be programmed. See
obtain the device management BDF.
