This section outlines the accelerator cards for data centers and the available target platforms. A target platform provides the firmware for the accelerator card running in a specific configuration. A target platform must be installed with Xilinx Runtime (XRT).
The following table lists the available target platforms per Alveo™ Data Center accelerator card. For each platform, it details the release name, available features (see Platform Features), and tool support. There can be more than one target platform for a given card.
Recommended: Only the following target platforms are supported on the latest tools. Any device
or platform that is not listed is not
supported on the latest tools.
Important:
Xilinx strongly recommends using the latest platform release. For 2022.1, there are
numerous platform changes, and support for some platforms being discontinued. For
