Install Platforms on Ubuntu

If you are installing these packages for use with the Vitis development environment and do not have an installed card, then you can ignore any message asking you to flash the accelerator card. However, if you are installing these packages for use with an installed accelerator card, you must follow the instructions in Getting Started with Alveo Data Center Accelerator Cards (UG1301).
IMPORTANT: Before installing platforms, you must have Xilinx Runtime installed, as described in Installing Xilinx Runtime.

  1. Download the deployment and development target platform packages for the Alveo Data Center Accelerator card you are using from the card product website.
