Vitis host program detect SDx device instead of Vitis device?

Hi macleonsh,

I wonder if your application AFI been loaded? Can you check by calling:

sudo fpga-describe-local-image -S0

If the AFI loaded is the same as the AFI you loaded to get MPD working, that should show the SDAccel platform with which the AFI was created.

In a working case, your application should be looking at your awsxclbin, getting the AFI information encoded in the awsxclbin, call XRT to load your application AFI for you.

Yes previously I preload the AFI (was official Helloworld AFI) .

Now I clear that AFI and load myself build afi, which is build by Vitis.
Then I run the test, the result is same:

$ lspci

00:1c.0 Memory controller: Amazon.com, Inc. Device 1041

00:1e.0 Memory controller: Amazon.com, Inc. Device 1041
...
$ sudo fpga-describe-local-image -S1
AFI          1       agfi-0f66f8dfc0823876c  loaded            0        ok               0       0x04261818

///run my application:

Interestingly, I build the Vitis helloworld example and run the test, from the log, it looks that also reported device[0]=xilinx_aws-vu9p-f1_dynamic_5_0 ? and the program runs OK
Does that imply I can simply ignore the device check?

$ ./host ./vadd.awsxclbin

Hi macleonsh,

The AWS Platform is hard-coded in XRT, so it is ok to ignore these checks.

Hi Macleonsh,

I am facing the same issue. You mentioned removing the part of code that matches the name of the target and device. I have a couple of questions. Does this work? and Is there any other workaround where we can set f1 instance FPGA name with xilinx_aws-vu9p-f1_shell-v04261818_201920_1 in place of xilinx_aws-vu9p-f1_dynamic_5_0 ?

Thanks,
Shashwat

I am sorry, just find your question.. try to answer as much as possible.

[I did not remember how I made the modification but it did not work anyway..]

[No, I don't think so--these two names are both shell name of F1 instance FPGA.. you may find them by using command locate *.xpfm (check below) -- what I find later was that if I use some specific AWS-FPGA branch (>= AWS-FPGA 1.14), when I do image build (using vitis) I need explicitly assign the DEVICE= /xilinx_aws-vu9p-f1_shell-v04261818_201920_2 then there are no problem anymore.
after AWS-FPGA 1.14, I shall use DEVICE=AWS_PLATFORM when build.
