When a card has successfully been installed and the firmware has been updated, both entries for Platform and the satellite controller (SC) version installed on the card and the system must match. If they do not match, the system will be unable to correctly run applications on your card.

To confirm they match, run the following command and visually compare the 'Platform' and 'SC Version' entries under Flashable partitions running on FPGA and Flashable partitions installed in system match. See Obtaining Card BDF Values to obtain the device management BDF.
$ sudo /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xbmgmt examine --device <management BDF>

In the following example output, the Platform (xilinx_vck5000_gen3x16_xdma_base_1) and SC Version (4.4.12) displayed under Flashable partitions running on FPGA and Flashable partitions installed in system both match.
