Appendix A
Changing XRT and Target Platform
Versions
The Alveo™ data center accelerator card target plaorm and XRT revisions can change
signicantly between releases. To ensure a successful upgrade (or downgrade) of the Alveo card
XRT and plaorm, carefully follow the instrucons for your specic release pairing. Failure to
adhere to these procedures can result in an unstable installaon or other issues.
Note: For links to the available plaorm and XRT revisions, see Chapter 4: Installing the Deployment
Soware.
IMPORTANT! Do not enter Ctrl + c in the terminal while the rmware is ashing 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 inulisable.
WICHTIG! Geben Sie im Terminal nicht Strg + c ein, während die Firmware blinkt, da dies dazu führen
kann, dass die Karte nicht mehr funkoniert.
RedHat and CentOS
During upgrading, downgrading, or uninstalling, it can be useful to list the currently installed
Alveo packages. To list all currently installed plaorm packages, run the following command in a
Linux terminal:
$ yum list installed | grep xilinx
To list the currently installed XRT package, run the following command:
$ yum list installed | grep xrt
Upgrade
The following steps require XRT 2019.2 or later to be installed. For older installed versions of the
