The fields are defined in the following table.
Field | Description |
---|---|
[card_id] | Provides an assigned card_id based on the card enumeration in the driver data structures. A unique card_id is assigned for each card detected. The order can change after a warm or cold reboot. |
Bus : Device : Function | Provides the enumerated card Bus:Device:Function (BDF) for
each card installed. It has the following format: [ Bus : Device : Function ] A card's BDF is determined based on the PCIe slot it is plugged into. Note: Use the
xbutil scan command to
display both the card_id and BDF for installed cards. |
Platform name | Platform name in the following
format:
See Alveo Data Center Accelerator Card Platforms User Guide (UG1120) for platform naming information. |
user (inst = <value>) | Returns the user function instance number associated with the
card. The instance number allows you to easily find the device node for each
function. In Linux OS, the device node can be found at: /dev/dri/renderD<inst> In addition, the instance can be useful when mapping the |
Below is an example of the xbutil scan
output. The system configuration and XRT information sections are first displayed followed
by the detected card(s). In the below example, one card is detected and assigned card_ID 0
and BDF is 0000:65:00.1
. The platform flashed and running
on the card is xilinx_u50_gen3x16_xdma_201920_3
and the
user instance has been assigned 128.
