XCVU9P-L2FSGD2104E FPGA. This Xilinx FPGA-based PCIe accelerator board is designed to accelerate compute-intensive applications like machine learning, data analytics, and video processing. The VCU1525 board is available in both active and passive cooling configurations and designed to be used in cloud data center servers. Figure 1-1 shows the VCU1525 active cooling configuration (PC applications). - Page 6 X20018-110217 Figure 1-2: VCU1525 Reconfigurable Acceleration Platform (Passive Cooling) The VCU1525 board with passive cooling is designed to be installed into a data center CAUTION! server, where controlled air flow provides direct cooling. The VCU1525 board with active cooling is designed to be installed into a PC environment where the air flow is uncontrolled, hence this configuration has the heat sink and fan enclosure cover installed to provide appropriate cooling.

Put the adapter down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit. • If you are returning the adapter to Xilinx Product Support, place it back in its antistatic bag immediately. VCU1525 Acceleration Platform User Guide Send Feedback UG1268 (v1.5) March 22, 2019... -
Page 17: Step 1: Board Installation
Keep your work area and the computer/system clean and clear of debris. • Before opening a computer or system cover, unplug the power cord. The active configuration of the VCU1525 board has hazardous moving parts. Keep away CAUTION! from fan blades. -
Page 18: Step 2: Deployment Software Installation
The deployment software installation requires installing the following software packages: • Xilinx® Runtime (XRT). XRT provides the libraries and drivers for an application to run on VCU1525 boards. • Deployment shell The deployment shell provides the base firmware needed to run pre-compiled applications but cannot be used to compile or create a new application. - Page 19 $ sudo yum install ./<rpm-dir>/xilinx-<version>.rpm The deployment software sources are now installed on the system. The installation of the drivers, runtime software, and utilities are located in the /opt/xilinx/ directory and contains the xrt and dsa sub-directories. Note that the dsa folder contains the deployment shell installation.
- Page 20 The -a and -t options specify the deployment shell name and timestamp associated with the specific card ID. sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbutil flash -a <shell_name> -t <timestamp> -d <card_ID> Not specifying the card ID within the xbutil flash command via the -d option can CAUTION! damage the card.

$ sudo apt install ./<deb-dir>/xilinx-<version>.deb 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 shell installation. - Page 22 The -a and -t options specify the deployment shell name and timestamp associated with the specific card ID. sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbutil flash -a <shell_name> -t <timestamp> -d <card_ID> Not specifying the card ID within the xbutil flash command via the -d option can CAUTION! damage the card.
