Loading...What to do if Xilinx Alveo U200 Computer Hardware card is not present when running xbutil or lspci?
If the Xilinx Computer Hardware card is not present when running xbutil or lspci, it might not have been ready when the server enumerated PCI Express. Try a warm reboot of the server and disable fast boot to fix this.
What to do if Xilinx Alveo U200 Computer Hardware card does not show up when running lspci and the red LED is illuminated?
If the Xilinx Computer Hardware card does not show up when running lspci and the red LED on the card is illuminated, it could be that the BIOS did not recognize the card correctly upon initial installation, resulting in the red LED indicating an error. To resolve this, cold boot the server four times until the blue LED illuminates, signaling successful operation. If the red LED persists, disconnect the server's power for five minutes and repeat the cold boot process.
How to fix 'Card not found' for Xilinx Alveo U200?
If the Xilinx Computer Hardware card is not found, it could be due to several reasons: * The card may not be correctly installed. Reinstall the card following the installation instructions and check if the card shows up by typing the following Linux command: `lspci -vd 10ee:`. * The card may not be compatible with the server. Use a qualified server, referring to the Alveo U200 and U250 Data Center Accelerator Cards Data Sheet (DS962) for system compatibilities. * The maintenance USB cable may be attached. Ensure the maintenance USB cable is removed before booting the system. * The kernel version may be incompatible. Run `uname -r` to check the kernel version and ensure it matches the version listed for your OS in Chapter 4: Installing the Deployment Software.

Why does Xilinx Alveo U200 runtime fail with 'Error: Failed to find Xilinx platform'?
If Xilinx Computer Hardware run time fails with the message 'Error: Failed to find Xilinx platform', it means you have not sourced the setup.sh script. Source it by running `/opt/xilinx/xrt/setup.sh`.
Why does XRT package fail to install on CentOS for Xilinx Alveo U200?
If the XRT package fails to install on a supported CentOS release for Xilinx Computer Hardware, it is because kernel development headers are missing. The XRT package is missing a dependency on kernel-devel and kernel-headers. Manually install them using yum: * `sudo yum install kernel-headers-\`uname -r\`` * `sudo yum install kernel-devel-\`uname -r\`` Note: Do not run `sudo yum upgrade`. This will update the kernel-headers to an incompatible version.
What does 'Can't drop privileges' mean when installing XRT for Xilinx Alveo U200 Computer Hardware?
When installing the XRT for Xilinx Computer Hardware, the message 'N: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/root/xrt_201802.2.1.79_16.04.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)' appears because you are running sudo apt install as root. The XRT will install correctly, despite the error. You can find more information about this error on AskUbuntu.
