xball¶
To facilitate running the same xrt-smi
or xbmgmt
command on a multi-card environment XRT provides a utility script named xball
. The script xball
can be used as below:
#xball <xrt-smi | xbmgmt> <utility arguments>
xball xrt-smi examine
The xball
script will detect all the cards attached to the server, and execute the xrt-smi
or xbmgmt
command on all of them.
Additionally, the xball
script provides a filtering option to execute the command on some specific cards, such as
#Run `xrt-smi examine` command only on U30 cards
xball --device-filter 'u30' xrt-smi examine
#Run `xrt-smi examine` command only on U250 cards
xball --device-filter '^xilinx_u250' xrt-smi examine
