Alveo Debug Kit User Guide UG1538 (v1.3) September 29, 2023 AMD Adaptive Computing is creating an environment where employees, customers, and partners feel welcome and included. To that end, we’re removing non-inclusive language from our products and related collateral. We’ve launched an internal initiative to remove language that could exclude people or reinforce historical biases, including terms embedded in our software and IPs.

Chapter 2: Overview Supported Cards This kit supports ADK2 enabled cards. See specific card documentation to determine if a card is ADK2 enabled. The following figure is an example of the ADK2 debug connector on an enabled card. Figure 2: ADK2 Debug Connector UG1538 (v1.3) September 29, 2023...
Chapter 3: Alveo Debug Kit Contents Chapter 3 Alveo Debug Kit Contents The AMD Alveo™ debug kit (ADK2) consists of the following components: • ADK2 debug module • 6' USB cable (USB A to micro AB) • 10" flex cable The following figure shows the ADK2 components.
The debug module has multiple interfaces, providing access to a host computer and/or other third-party debugger tools. The following figure shows the various interfaces and locations on the debug module. Figure 4: ADK2 Debug Module PMBus micro USB USB A...
Keyed connection for the flex cable. Flex Cable The 10-inch flex cable provides connection between the debug module and the ADK2 enabled card. The flex cable has been designed for high data rates and durability. To guide a correct connection, each end of the cable has an identical keyed connector with re-enforced stiffeners...
The debug module is powered through the micro USB interface and provides communication between the debug module and host computer. The ADK2 includes a six foot USB cable to provide access to a debug module placed inside of a server. If this cable is not long enough use a compatible USB cable that fits your needs.
Hardware Setup This section describes how to setup your debug module for use with a host computer and an ADK2 enabled card. Depending on your system setup, the following installations steps might differ. Prior to connecting the system, read the Standard ESD Measures.
• Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage. Connecting the Debug Module This section provides steps for connecting the debug module to the host and the ADK2 enabled card. The following items are required: • Debug module •...

Chapter 4: Hardware Setup Note: Follow the card installation procedures described in the card specific installation guide. 5. Connect the opposite end of the flex cable to the ADK2 debug connector on the ADK2 enabled card (see Figure 8). Ensure the cable is fully connected. Route the cable on the back side of the card to avoid blocking airflow across the heat sink.
