Appendix A: Changing Xrt And Target Platform Versions; Redhat And Centos - Xilinx Alveo U200 Getting Started

Changing XRT and Target Platform
Versions
The Alveo™ data center accelerator card target platform and XRT revisions can change
significantly between releases. To ensure a successful upgrade (or downgrade) of the Alveo card
XRT and platform, carefully follow the instructions for your specific release pairing. Failure to
adhere to these procedures can result in an unstable installation or other issues.
Note: For links to the available platform and XRT revisions, see
Software.
IMPORTANT! Do not enter Ctrl + c in the terminal while the firmware is flashing as this can cause the
card to become inoperable.
IMPORTANT! N'entrez pas Ctrl + c dans le terminal lorsque le micrologiciel clignote, car cela pourrait
rendre la carte inutilisable.
WICHTIG! Geben Sie im Terminal nicht Strg + c ein, während die Firmware blinkt, da dies dazu führen
kann, dass die Karte nicht mehr funktioniert.

RedHat and CentOS

During upgrading, downgrading, or uninstalling, it can be useful to list the currently installed
Alveo packages. To list all currently installed platform packages, 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

The following steps require XRT 2019.2 or later to be installed. For older installed versions of the
