Traditional RTL-flow Alveo data center accelerator cards, enabled with a maintenance port, can be programmed using the Alveo programming module and the Vivado® Design Suite hardware manager application. To use this flow:
- Vivado® Design Suite 2019.1 or later hardware manager must be installed on your host machine or laptop to program the device via JTAG.
- Alveo data center accelerator card must be installed (see Connecting the Alveo Programming Module) and the server powered on.
- Alveo programming cable connected as described in Connecting the Alveo Programming Module.
