Cold reboot machine to load the new image on card(s)
7. Cold boot the machine to load the new firmware image on the FPGA.
IMPORTANT! Be sure to perform a cold boot 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! Initier un démarrage a froid en appuyant sur le bouton d’alimentation de la machine,
puis rallumer la machine. L’image flash ne démarrera pas sans un démarrage a froid.
WICHTIG! Führen Sie einen Kaltstart aus, indem Sie das Gerät vollständig aus und wieder
einschalten. Das Image startet nicht von Flash, wenn der Computer nur neu gestartet wird.

sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --update --shell <shell_name>
