When a card has successfully been installed and the firmware has been updated, both entries for Platform and 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 your card is setup correctly to run applications, 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 and confirm they match. See Displaying 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_u200_gen3x16_xdma_base_1) and SC Version (4.6.18) displayed under Flashable partitions running on FPGA and Flashable partitions installed in system both match.

If the SC version does not match under Flashable partitions running on FPGA and Flashable partitions installed in system, the SC will need to be flashed. See SC versions do not match to update the SC version on the card.
