Card Validation

Card installation can be validated using the xbutil validate command. This command
performs various tests and checks on the card including PCIe link status, SC version status,
memory and bandwidth tests and auxiliary power connection where applicable. Full command
details can be found in
or may require the function to be enabled (i.e., Peer-2-Peer).
Use the following command to run the card validation test:
$ /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbutil validate --device <user BDF> --verbose
where user BDF is the card to be validated. See
BDF value.
IMPORTANT! Prior to running an application on DFX-2RP platform, it is necessary to first program the
shell partition on the card or the application will fail to detect the shell and will not run. See
Programming the Shell Partition for DFX-2RP Platforms
If the card was installed and validated successfully, a message similar to the following will be
displayed. Review the Validation Summary section at the end of the output and confirm the
device validated successfully. See
support.
