IMPORTANT! Be sure to fully power off the machine and then power it on again. The image will not
boot from flash if the machine is only rebooted.
IMPORTANT! Assurez-vous d'éteindre complètement la machine, puis de la rallumer. L'image flash ne
démarrera pas si la machine n'est pas redémarrée.
Wichtig! Schalten Sie das Gerät vollständig aus und wieder ein. Das Image startet nicht von Flash,
wenn der Computer nur neu gestartet wird.

Upgrading, Downgrading, and Uninstalling
XRT and Deployment Shell on RedHat and
CentOS
During upgrading, downgrading, or uninstalling, it can be useful to list the currently installed
Alveo packages.
To list the currently installed deployment shell package, 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
Upgrading Packages
You can upgrade the XRT and deployment shell on your Alveo card by following these steps.
Both packages must be upgraded concurrently.
1. Download the desired XRT and deployment shell packages. Both must be from the same
release (i.e. both are 2018.2 package releases).
2. Install the XRT installation package using the following command, where
<rpm-dir>
is the
directory where the packages were downloaded in the previous step and
<version>
is the
latter part of the XRT file name.
$ sudo yum install <rpm-dir>/xrt_<version>.rpm
This will install the XRT along with any necessary dependencies. Follow the instructions
when prompted throughout the installation.
