This chapter details the procedures for installing deployment software on RedHat/CentOS and Ubuntu operating systems. All software installations use standard Linux RPM and Linux DEB packages and require root access.
The deployment software consists of the following software packages:
- AMD runtime (XRT)
- XRT provides the libraries and drivers for an application to run on
VCK5000 cards and also includes xbutil and xbmgmt utilities. Utility command
line help can always be obtained using the
--helpoption. - Deployment platform
- The deployment platform provides the base firmware needed to run pre-compiled applications. It cannot be used to compile or create new applications. To create new applications, install the development software detailed in Next Steps. While you can also install the development software on a machine with an installed card, doing so is not necessary to run applications.
All installation packages can be downloaded from either the VCK5000 lounge or VCK5000-AIE lounge. Contact your FAE for more information.
If you encounter any issues during installation, see Troubleshooting.
Important: Root access is
required for all software and firmware installations.
