Image
The Alveo™ card can be reverted to factory (Golden) image. This requires that XRT 2019.2
release or later is installed on the same system as the Alveo accelerator card. The steps to revert
the card using this method are listed below.
Note: If using XRT 2019.1, follow the steps given in v2019.1 of Getting Started with Alveo Data Center
Accelerator Cards (UG1301).
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Run the following command.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --factory_reset
3. Enter y to continue. The following message is displayed on completion.

4. Cold-reboot by power cycling the system to complete the reverting process.
5. Validate that the card has been reverted to factory image by running the following command.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt flash --scan
