Generating the
xbmgmt flash --update Command
To ash the rmware installed in the system to the Alveo
™
card, use the following command
syntax..
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell <shell_name> --card
<card_bdf>
To obtain the necessary card_bdf and shell_name opons, run the following xbmgmt
flash --scan command. For more informaon, see Running xbmgmt ash --scan.
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --scan
You will see an output similar to the output below. In this example, the Flashable partition
running on FPGA does not match Flashable partitions installed in system,
implying that the Flashable partition running on FPGA needs to be updated using the
xbmgmt flash --update command.
Card [0000:65:00.0]
Card type: u50
Flash type: SPI
Flashable partition running on FPGA:
xilinx_u50_GOLDEN_9,[SC=INACTIVE]
Flashable partitions installed in system:
xilinx_u50_gen3x16_xdma_201920_3,[ID=0xf465b0a3ae8c64f6],[SC=5.0.27]
Logic UUID:
f465b0a3ae8c64f619bc150384ace69b
• card_bdf: Species the BDF of the card to ash and is given on the output of the rst line
Card [card_bdf]. In the above example, the BDF is 0000:65:00.0. This opon is only
required if you have mulple cards installed on the server.
• shell_name: Species the paron that is used to ash the card. The shell_name for
ashing is provided under Flashable partitions installed in system. In the
above example, the shell_name is xilinx_u50_gen3x16_xdma_201920_3.
For the example output above, the xbmgmt flash command is:
sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell
xilinx_u50_gen3x16_xdma_201920_3 --card 0000:65:00.0
