To install the Alveo card and deploy applications, follow the instructions in the Card Install Guide. Download links for the Xilinx Runtime and Deployment Target Platform, needed during card installation, are given below.
The Xilinx runtime (XRT) is a low level communication layer (APIs and drivers) between the host and the card.
IMPORTANT: Please enter the following command before installing the XRT:
RedHat:
$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
$ sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
CentOS:
$ sudo yum install epel-release
The deployment target platform is the communication layer physically implemented and flashed into the card.
To develop Alveo accelerated applications, follow the software installation instructions in the Vitis Development Installation Guide. The Vitis design environment and development target platform download links are given below.
The target platform interface for development is required if you are building your own applications.
The Xilinx Vitis software platform provides a framework for developing accelerated applications.
