Alveo Card Validation Test (XBTEST)

Validate the Alveo card hardware is operating correctly within the host server environment under a variety of stress conditions. The application monitors system health and validates the functionality of the essential hardware and software components of the platform.

A JSON file can be created for a specific test condition or the pre-canned tests can be used. Refer to the pre-canned test section of the platform below for the list of tests available for your platform.

  • verify: Checks the integrity of the xclbin
  • dma: Performs a basic DMA test case over PCIe to card memories (DDR and/or HBM)
  • gt: Performs a basic test of the GT. Multiple GT pre-canned tests may exist: mac, prbs, switch, port to port
  • memory: Performs a basic memory test case of card memories (DDR and or HBM) or on HOST memory (if supported)
  • p2p: Peer to peer test between cards or NMVE compatible HDD (if supported). See XRT Documentation for more information
  • power: Performs a basic power test case
  • stress: Combines multiple test cases
