For each card in the server, you will see an output similar to the following example.
Card [0000:65:00.0]
Card type: u250
Flash type: SPI
Flashable partition running on FPGA:
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_base_3,[ID=0x48810c9d17860ef5],[SC=4.6.6]
Flashable partitions installed in system:
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_base_3,[ID=0x48810c9d17860ef5],[SC=4.6.6]
The name of the base partition, ID, and SC firmware version running on the FPGA are found
under
Flashable partition running on FPGA
while the ones installed in the system
are found under
Flashable partitions installed in system
.
In this example, the BDF is
0000:65:00.0
, the base partition on the FPGA and system are
identical (
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_base_3
), the ID is
0x48810c9d17860ef5
and the SC
version is
4.6.6
.
2. Confirm the base partition under
Flashable partition running on FPGA
is identical
to the that under
Flashable partitions installed in system
.
If these versions do not match, perform a cold reboot, and retry.
Running xbmgmt partition
The
xbmgmt partition
command for Dynamic Function eXchange platforms supporting two
reconfigurable partitions (DFX-2RP) provides options to display the base and shell firmware
versions running on the card, as well as program the shell firmware.
1. Display the base firmware running on the card by entering the following command.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt partition --scan
For each card in the server, you will see an output similar to the following example.
