fpgabist

SYNOPSIS

fpgabist [-h] [-i device_id] [-b bus] [-d device] [-f function] [path_to_gbs1 path_to_gbs2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

The fpgabist tool performs self-diagnostic tests on supported FPGA platforms.

The tool accepts one or more Accelerator Function (AF) binaries from a predetermined set of AFs. Depending on the available binaries, the tool runs appropriate tests and reports hardware issues.

fpgabist always uses fpgainfo to report system information before running any hardware tests.

Currently, fpgabist accepts the following AFs: 1. nlb_mode_3 = host memory interface checking 2. dma = local memory interface checking

The platform includes the AF files, but you can also compile the AFs from the source.

If there are multiple devices, use -b, -d, -f to specify the BDF for the specific device.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

[path_to_gbs1 path_to_gbs2 ...]

Paths to GBS files of AFs being used.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

-h, --help

Prints usage information

-i device_id, --device-id device_id

Device ID for Intel FPGA. Deafult is: 0x09c4

-B bus, --bus bus

Bus number for specific FPGA

-D device, --device device

Device number for specific FPGA

-F function, --function function

Function number for specific FPGA

EXAMPLES

fpgabist <path_to_gbs_files>/dma_afu.gbs <path_to_gbs_files>/nlb_3.gbs

Runs fpgabist on any platforms in the system that match the default device ID. This command runs both the DMA and NLB_MODE_3 tests.
