Under
Partitions running on FPGA
it displays the base partition running on the FPGA
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_base_3
. A shell partition will also be displayed if it has already
been programmed.
Under
Partitions installed in system
it displays available shell partition(s)
available to program on the FPGA. In this example, only one shell partition is available
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_shell_3_1
.
The
logic-uuid
and
interface-uuid
are used by the system to ensure compatible base
and shell partitions are used for a given application.
If no shell partitions are displayed under
Partitions installed in system
, it implies
no shell partitions compatible with the base partition have been installed. Download and
install a compatible shell partition.
2. Enter the following command to program the shell partition on the FPGA.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt partition --program --name
<shell_name> --card <card_bdf>
where
<shell_name>
is the name of the shell partition to be programmed to the card
identified with BDF
<card_bdf>
.
In the previous example
xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_shell_3_1
will be programmed
to card with BDF
00:65:00.0
. See
Appendix D: Obtaining xbmgmt Command Options
to
obtain the
card_bdf
and
shell_name
option.
An output similar to the following example will be displayed:
Programming PLP on Card [0000:65:00.0]...
Partition file: /opt/xilinx/firmware/u250/gen3x16/xdma-shell/
partition.xsabin
Program successfully
3. Enter the following command and confirm the shell partition displayed under
Partitions
installed in the system
and
Partitions running on FPGA
match.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt partition --scan
An output similar to the following example will be displayed.
