AMD Board Management (xbmgmt) utility is a standalone command line tool that is
included with the Xilinx Runtime (XRT) installation
package. Details of the xbmgmt command can be found at
https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/master/html/xbmgmt.html.
Accelerator cards are partitioned into a user function and a management
function to provide different levels of card access. The user function lets you load and
run applications, while the management function is for system administrators to manage
the card. The xbutil utility interacts with the user
function.
The xbmgmt utility is used for card
installation and administration, and requires sudo
privileges when running it. The xbmgmt supported tasks
include flashing the card firmware, and scanning the current device configuration.
