Set up xbtest

Before using xbtest, your card should be installed and operating correctly, including Xilinx Runtime (XRT). For installation instructions, see the following:

• Xilinx Runtime (XRT) documentation

• documentation for your card

Important

Ensure you run xbtest from a folder where you have write permission.

Use the following commands to set up xbtest:

Set Up xbtest

Shell	Command
csh	$ source /opt/xilinx/xbtest/setup.csh
bash	$ source /opt/xilinx/xbtest/setup.sh

If xbtest was installed in a user specified location <target directory> (see Install xbtest to another location), set up the environment by using the following command:

Set Up xbtest From Another Location

Shell	Command
csh	$ source <target directory>/opt/xilinx/xbtest/setup.csh
bash	$ source <target directory>/opt/xilinx/xbtest/setup.sh

This script:

• Sets the environment variable XILINX_XBTEST with the script location (/opt/xilinx/xbtest/ or <target directory>/opt/xilinx/xbtest/).

• Prepends the location of the xbtest executable (/opt/xilinx/xbtest/bin/ or <target directory>/opt/xilinx/xbtest/bin/) to the PATH environment variable.

Note

The Common software uses the environment variable XILINX_XBTEST for the installation location of Test software and Platform specific libraries.

If XILINX_XBTEST is not set, then Common software reports an error:

FAILURE   :: GEN_070 :: GENERAL      :: Environment variable XILINX_XBTEST is not set. Please source the xbtest setup script.

If xbtest is installed and set up correctly, the following command displays the xbtest help instructions:

$ xbtest -h

Note

The installation directory is reported when using command line option -v or -h.
